Thank you for the reply. I searched both the Steam and Documents folders and there is only one copy of the file, the one I put in Override. I did double check that it had my changes. Now, I noticed that apparently I downloaded the mod a few days before an update. I'm using v39. Was this a known bug?
Just to be sure, because I'm not as sharp as I was twenty years ago, to use it in game I go to the radial menu and select: special abilities, class, prc options, alter code switches, read personal_switch.2da and set switches based on its content, exit.
