You'd have to export the password protected save game database, extract from that, edit in excel and then copy and past it back into the password protected save file. </p><p> </p><p>
It's doable but has two issues</p><p>
1) you make a tiny error in your edits, e.g., hit o instead of 0, you're going to cause and error and crash when that bit of data is used. It's why Adam doesn't suggest you edit this file like this.</p><p> </p><p>
2) the tabs in the save game database are different. I believe a workers Id and name are on one tab, their skills are in another, and their popularity are in a third (for example - it's been a while since I looked at it). In Tew 2013 I had to import about 6 tables, instead of just the two of Contracts and Workers, in order to get the same information.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p>
But to want to pull the info out into excel and then push it back in seems slightly insane, especially when the TEW editor is pretty easy to use.</p>
