You can also just create kerbals with the F12 "cheat" menu.

Not in my version of the game

1.0.0 (I can't update it )

Well I don't have Steam, the launcher is obviously broken, and for some reason whenever I try to update it the thing glitches out. Every single time, so I just gave up

So don't "update" it.  Most people don't.  Just go download the newest version and install it alongside your 1.0.0 install.

But if I do that then I will have to start all over again with my progress

Copy your saves folder into the new install

And then proceed to have all my craft broken as they use the old Mk1 cockpit and Mk1-2 command pod

Most if not all old parts are deprecated and hidden, but are still in the game. Crafts that use them will still work and load with the old parts   

Hey, you can always try and see and if you don’t like it , go back to your old install

Or you could get rid of the cockpits in the old version of the game, and when you import it into the newest version just put the new parts in the place of the old ones.

Ok. You got me worried! The first time I saw this I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? But now I see your post and understand

@The_Cat_In_Space, The best option open to you is to just re-download the latest version. You will have to update all your mods, but you should be able to transfer your save files with no *major* problems. BTW you have just inadvertently revealed your gender.

FYP

But back to your.... I guess your question...  I got into the habit of never carrying saves over between versions.  Back in the alpha days, it was guaranteed to break a save, so I never did.    So just bite the bullet, and install the latest version as a separate install, and start a new game.   The beginning of the game is pretty fun too....

Nah, I'm all good. I'll keep my version
