If they are going to force facegen files to be overwritten, it's probably best they have an option in Game Settings to allow users to set a new folder to look for fgs in lieu of the "fg_files" folder. That way, I could tell my game to only pull from the "LStfg_file folder" and the game could continue to do whatever it is doing to the "fg_files" folder. That would allow those with custom fg files to ensure theirs are uncorrupted and the people who don't get into fg's could continue on unaffected by this customization option for selecting an alternative folder for usage.

Just bugs me. All the ones I had written over were ones I did about a year ago and fortunately I had First_Last name back-ups of that work. But still... even when I overwrite the file with my own work again, players that have one of those 1700+ files are just rewritten the next day. Very frustrating.
