If you are short on time, the first section alone is usually enough. There is a fast way and a safe way, and they are not the same thing. One clean run beats five rushed ones, both for results and for your patience.

The short answer

Do the straightforward version first; it solves this for most people, and the detailed section exists for when it does not.

The straightforward version

Anything marked optional really is optional, so skip it without guilt. Most advice on this topic assumes you already know half the answer, which is exactly the problem. If something here stops matching what you see on screen, the game has probably changed a value in an update.

  • Write down what you changed, so you can undo it if the result gets worse.
  • Test one change at a time instead of five at once.
  • Back up your save if the game gives you the option.
  • Restart fully after a change rather than trusting a quick reload.
  • Confirm the starting conditions before following any steps.
