Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I only possess Cold, Cold Heart DLC and it worked fine so far (played a little, up to tracking down Penguin only). I can use New Millenium and WBID skins without an issue. Also, I'm not sure if it's part of the game or it came along, but there's a darker version of the base suit which looks pretty good and came along with it.
Oh, and I got it working using the method mentioned by the user @AwesomerArthur about a year ago:
Create a brand new save file in your third slot, close the game, and replace your vanilla SpSave_v2_3 with the modded SpSave_v2_3
Had some trouble getting it to work on Steam as well, so here's my own troubleshooting tips:
First step is always to disable the intro logos (https://www.nexusmods.com/batmanarkhamorigins/mods/219) so you don't have to sit around for a whole minute just to see if your save is working.
To ensure you have full control over your saves, disable the cloud function in the properties menu. That'll let you delete save files as you please without outside interference.
If you have games installed on multiple storage devices, Steam may create multiple remote folders of the same game. Make sure you're on the right one, otherwise swapping your "Spsave" files around won't have any impact on your in-game saves.
Create a brand new save file in your third slot, close the game, and replace your vanilla SpSave_v2_3 with the modded SpSave_v2_3
If that doesn't work, empty your remote folder (feel free to back up your saves elsewhere), start a new save, and repeat the previous step.
As far as I could tell, reinstalling the game and restarting your PC has no bearing on whether it reads the modded save file or not, so you can leave those for a last ditch effort.
I’m amazed this hacked save file has seen so much interest. I’m glad the community has enjoyed it. It’s unfortunate people have had difficulty getting it to work but I am also amazed that people have been able to troubleshoot the issue.
So this worked for me. You need to copy the files and then open the game. You won't see the file. Just start playing the game normally and when you unlock the world map then unlock the GCR tower first mission and then close the game. Restart the game and new game plus will appear. The new game plus is on hard mode and you cannot change that, so think before using this mod as the game becomes a lot more difficult for casual gamers.
I have found a new game plus in normal difficulty. If you are a casual gamer like me then download this version. I got it from this reddit comment https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-t2fAhN2YD9Z3ZfTjd0LXN1UFE/view?resourcekey=0-FiYgOvJZYkVW8QAIitc0AQ.
You need to download the file and then copy the game files in the save location as mentioned in this mod.
Edit the file name to "SpSave_v2_1", make sure you don't have any save file in the second slot when you open the game.
Run the game and you won't see the file. Start the game with the first playthrough and skip the cutscene until you get to the prison.
Close the game and restart your computer.
Open the game again and the new save file will appear.
I've just bought the game and the season pass on Steam and I haven't start the game yet. I've read that to use the skins in story mode I have to complete the game first. Can I use this mod to start the game for the first time, and use the skins in story game?
I'm having the same problem and I'm not sure what to do. I've tried deleting my previous saves to see if this one works but nothing happened. Any luck on your end?
It worked for me once. Skipped through the opening cutscenes to test that it worked, it did. So then I went to start over and it wouldn't allow a restart. Had to reinstall the game to get it to work again. As far as I can tell, the download save file has to be dropped in the specified folder before the game launches for the first time. I could be wrong but that's what worked for me.

It creates a new file, but when you go into it, it forces you to start on "New Game" rather than "New Game Plus".
1. install the game
2. copy this save file over
3. uninstall the game
4. reinstall the game
5. profit and play
