This isn't Skyrim where the world state is saved in its entirety.
The files are very static and don't save a lot of information other than quest flags and item/levels/license etc. You CANNOT get banned from cheating in single player games because any ban on Steam ONLY applies to multiplayer/online functionality.Īlso, it is impossible for CE tables to permanently affect loot RNG in save files, as they do not even store information related to that.
Game bans are also only a thing in multiplayer/online. For the one-thousandth time: You can't get VAC banned for games that do not explicitly state they are using VAC-enabled servers(but this is a singleplayer game so this doesn't apply anyway).
