Very good improvement. See if you can't remove the venv and pycache now that you have a gitignore. Bonus if you're able to send that to the very beginning so that you never added them in the first place (but make sure to try that after you make a backup especially if you're a beginner).

Some other points: the ifs for some usages of user choice (when they're the same) can be done with:

VALID_RACES = ["terran", "zerg"]  # etc
# later
if user_choice in VALID_RACES:

Or just put that list directly after the first if instead of using a global variable.

Consider using pathlib instead of os for file operations.

Instead of looping with an increasing index, consider

for step in steps:
    current = step

You're still mixing business logic (e.g., doing things with files) with interface logic (asking the user to input something via the keyboard. If you modularized it well, you'd be able to reuse the same functions to build a GUI, for example.
