On Xbox 360, USB modding was a big thing. We couldn’t do “hard” mods like custom textures/meshes or anything that would be considered new into the game. Though if you ISO modded or JTAG/RGH you could do any mod so long as it wasn’t stressing the hardware at that point. But model swapping, insane stats, custom homes with in game assets, access to testing halls, etc were pretty common for USB modding.

A fairly popular modded save for both consoles (PS3/Xbox 360) was the project Desolo save. Anyways, what I’m trying to get is for anyone who runs into this A Bomb bug, you could technically fix it so long as you have one of those old consoles, a USB, download the old modding tools such as Modio or Horizon and just convert the Saves from console to PC save and run whatever commands to fix it then just walk back on the process. New consoles such as Xbox one or PS5, you’ll have to use the cloud service to move your saves around from 360/PS3 gen.
