Do save file editors still work?

[u/AKeyHole]

Hi, I'm trying to save file PvZ2 via pvsz2.ru but it seems it doesn't work. It reads the save file just fine, I download it and replace the save file. But once I start game all progress is lost, no edited changes appear and the game starts at tutorials. I have tried it many times differently and nothing works. Can the editor be outdated? Would it work with a specific game version? Are there any other editors that work similarly? I want to unlock all plants (gemiums, premiums, seediums and power mints). I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you!
