Make sure to also change the 'GameMode' value under 'BaseContext'. In your case, you will have to change the value from 5 to 1 (Permadeath to Normal). See below tables for current Steam values for GameMode and Version. Then there are difficulty settings you will have to adjust accordingly in 'BaseContext > PlayerStateData > DifficultyState'. See the image below for default difficulty settings per game mode.

Note: In all the above, I am assuming your 'ActiveContext' = "Main", as these locations may be different when currently in Expedition (ActiveContext = Season).
