Without thinking when I launched the game, the first thing I did was change the difficulty on one of my main saves to Survival mode. After playing through Survival mode and realizing how tough it was (especially since I hadn't finished exploring the entire Commonwealth), I tried switching back but found no option to do so.
Apparently, from looking online, the changes I make are "final" if I decide to convert a save from normal to Survival. But I made these changes on accident fully unaware of the repercussions of doing so.
If I want to convert a Survival mode save back to a normal mode or playthrough, is there a way to tweak the save to change it back to normal mode?

You can switch a survival game to a different difficulty the same way you normally change the difficulty, through the
Settings->Gameplaymenu. I don't know if this was missing when the beta was released yesterday, but I just tested it by loading a save, switching it to survival, and then switching it back.Lowering the difficulty from survival is a one-way change, you cannot lower the difficulty and then raise it back to survival, as indicated by the warning you get when you try to lower the difficulty:
