When considering using a save editor, it's crucial to prioritize safety:
The game relies on boolean flags (True/False) to track progression.
Hate the VHS segments? You can edit the progression flag FLAG_VHS_MIA_COMPLETE to 1. This tricks the game into thinking you watched the tape, unlocking the basement door without playing the section.
After editing, Steam will ask: "The cloud save is different from your local file. Which do you want to keep?"
To understand how a save editor functions, one must first understand where and how RE7 stores progression data.
