Default updating GCA4 characters GCA 5

I know there is not direct way I can do this. However, is there an app out there where I can automate the function? Just checking. Thanks

You can open GCA 4 characters in GCA 5 (though you shouldn't try to open GCA 5 characters in GCA 4). Once you save the character in GCA 5, it becomes a GCA 5 character.

What Stormcrow said.

GCA5 will even try to move languages to the Languages list when loading them. It can not, however, fix talents and bonuses to them, so you should remove Language Talent (or other such language or culture bonuses) and re-add them with the version available in GCA5 natively.

GCA5 will not load saves from versions older than GCA4, though.

Works for me.
Though I wish I could use the Phoenix character sheets. They are awesome!

Completely different and incompatible engine technologies moving from GCA 4 to GCA 5, so sheets have to be rewritten.

Try the included GCA Prime Sheet. It has a bunch of options, and while it's not Phoenix level, it can cover some of that ground.
