C1 new world

So, I wanted to restart with C1 and have a brand new world, but when I used the Emergency kit (Backup.exe in Albian Years) it gave me the same creatures (I had a few Grendels via the Genetics Kit) and the same cobs.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. This led to some problems, particularly one saying ove2.spr was missing. I fortunately saved all the files the game couldn't get rid of when I uninstalled it so I copied and pasted it back to the Images folder. This didn't solve the problem, as it said the game still could not start.

So I copied and pasted all the images and body data files I had from before back into the folders. I started the game and it worked this time, but was still giving me the same creatures and cobs. I wanted to start fresh with cobs so a lot of them haven't been installed.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get the game to completely restart without all the old cobs and creatures since uninstalling didn't go so well?

P.S. Hope this wasn't too confusing...

Have you tried any of the suggestions in this thread? I'm sorry, but I don't personally have experience with Albian Years, so hopefully you'll be able to glean more from that thread. :/

You could try the revo uninstaller, you can uninstall anything completely. It tracks down files that don't get uninstalled in your regular uninstaller.

Thanks for the replies! I fixed the problem, but I don't really know how I did anything different this time... This time I uninstalled, deleted the folders in My Documents, and reinstalled. Last time, I uninstalled, moved the files in My Documents to another folder there (in case I needed them for some reason), and then reinstalled. I guess the game still found the folders and files in My Documents after I moved them? I dunno.

But thanks for that thread, Malkin! Should come in handy if I ever need to do this again. And thanks for the link, Melody! That might come in handy in the future too.
