Things can have a Replaces Thing Id ( as shown in the Editor ) or replaces attribute on the thing element. This is nice as it allows an easy way to bug fix system things that have a bug. But the save file uses the new thing id instead of the replaces thing id. This means even if the reason for putting in a replacement is no longer necessary it either has to maintained to not loss picks for the characters that used it, or if it is removed all characters that had picks on the replaced thing need to have the thing removed and readded.

Suggestion add a replaces attribute to the pick element in save files which notes the original thing id if when loading a character and the thing id for the pick is no longer available but it has a replaces attribute try to use that thing id instead and optionally alert the user about the replacement with the base version of thing.
