First a free hint- save regularly and keep a couple old versions around. Just like in life, this scenario requires that you do some things in some semblance of order. If you don't, you might find yourself trapped with no way out, or even killed. (Ever try getting out of a car before slowing to a stop and turning off the engine?) Unlike life, we can make backups of games we play, and thus not lose to much by simple errors. This is a good idea.
