Thanks to everyone on here, especially Magnus, Turk, and Idle, I was able to successfully make my own personal Starter Save. Idle is right, the safest and best way to do this is to NOT try and inject a modded User_Data into a CON. You are asking for trouble. It may not happen right away, but it will corrupt eventually.
While the beta save Magnus posted is absolutely AWESOME (and I can't wait to see the final version), I wanted a starter save that didn't have every ring, weapon, armor, soul, and key, but that had max stats (lower health/stamina than Magnus save - 5000 each), multiple copies of powerful spells/pyromancy, 99 of every consumable/upgrade item, and a few good upgraded weapons/armor.
So, I started a new game, got to the bonfire after the tutorial, and used that save as my base. I then extracted the User_Data and simultaneously modded it AND the DRAK0005 file. You could also mod the User_data and then paste your modded stuff into the DRAK0005 file but I find it easier to just mod them side by side. Used User_Data to generate new checksum, pasted into DRAK0005, and rehashed/resigned with Horizon. Save stays at ~8.23 MB and loads perfectly.
I used Magnus' save as a template for the proper sequence of inventory location IDs since my initial save only had a few items.
I think I'm done modding Dark Souls saves for awhile. I've got about 4-5 different saves at different points in the game. LOL Time to play through and finish the game with this new save.
When copying the line data for weapons/items/spells/etc. Do I just paste them where my inventory ends or do I paste them over something. I've been having problems with that part.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Ok so I have swapped items/weapons and everything else with success, however I tried giving myself the embers for weapon upgrades (IE. Very large ember, divine ember and so on) When I do this the items show in my inventory but when I got to the black smith who requires those items he will not take them. Has anyone else came across this problem?
Do I need to give them to myself 1 at a time and then take them to the black smith? Any helped would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but it seems as though the black knight weapons cause your saves to corrupt. Am I the only one having this problem? I was trying to add a black knight greataxe and using the id code from here, it always corrupts. I tried it with the greatsword with the same result. Perhaps someone could try it and see if it works for them. Thanks.
