Can't reduce level with MnBSaveGameEditor? Please help :(

Trying to reduce my level, I dun goofed and made my char lvl 2124 and now I even when I go into the save game and change it with the editor to something like 61 it remains the same. Anyone know how to fix this? With my level as high as it is when I try to do quests and the like or even save a town from bandit it spawns in THOUSANDS of enemies that crash the game. Please help :(
