I just finished U4 last night using xu4. I was planning on picking up 4+5+6 today and attempting to transfer, but now I'm gonna wait and see if it pops up during the 17 day sale ;)

In any case, I believe I read that you can by using your party.sav file. Just remember that xu4 saves it's own states outside of your core Ultima 4 data files.

This faq should help you find the save files on your system: http://xu4.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Let me know how it goes!

I know this is such an old thread, but I wanted everyone to know is I was having trouble transferring from XU4 to Ultima 5. I first tried extracting the party.sav file from the Ultima 4 zipped game file, that didn't work. Then I tried mounting a drive as A and copying party.sav from the Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\XU4 directory and transferring from there, still didn't work. Then I tried copying party.sav from the Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\XU4 directory and copying it into the Ultima 5 directory and pressing C as my floppy drive and that worked. I didn't even have to run FIXPARTY.EXE. I hope this helps someone who's having trouble.

I just wanted to say thanks, this worked. I found your answer from searching google. I played U4 with XU4, and using party.sav from the standard xu4 folder does not work for transferring your character to U5, you need to use the party.sav from the appdata/roaming/xu4 folder.
