ToTK loaded back into starting area after altering save

[DankBot457]

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong so some help would be appreciated. I have attempted multiple times to alter a save file, whether it be changing items or increasing hearts/stamina wheel, and every time I replace the old save for the edited one and load in I am spawned back in the starter room with the exit leading to an open void. I am using the emulator yuzu on windows so maybe this is the problem? Just not sure if there is a fix/workaround that I am missing. I am currently utilizing a mod that increases framerate to 60fps, but that is all the mods I have. Another thing to note, whenever I open a save file in the editor the field for hearts is always blank when it should read 3 hearts.

Common known issues:

• Saving/loading is slow in emulators: If you are playing on an emulator and using the editor, please make sure the emulator is closed when you edit and that the editor is closed when you are playing.
• Changes made with the editor are not showing up in game (1): before loading your progress.sav in the editor, load your caption.sav and you will see a thumbnail of your savegame. This will allow you identify which is your latest savegame.
• Changes made with the editor are not showing up in game (2): make sure you are replacing the correct progress.sav file and not creating a progress (1).sav, that will make your savegame invalid and reset
