I tried that and it isn't loading up the new saves when I hit continue. I even tried putting the individual save files in the "save" folder and that didn't work either.
If your a mac user, what helped me was this...
1.) Download pre-made save files.
2.) Right click the game folder and click "Show Package Contents."
3.) Click the contents folder then the Resources Folder.
4.) I had to play around with it a bit but I ended up deleting the prior "save" folder that is already defaulted there then dragged the pre-made game save folder there and it ended up working.
