Schedule I Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-29

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves

Quick answer: On PC, Schedule I save files are stored in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\<user-id>. Copy that folder to back up your progress before updating, modding, or moving to a new PC.
Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves

Here's exactly where Schedule I keeps your organisation on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back up a save before a risky expansion.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\<SteamID>\ . Each save slot is its own numbered folder under your Steam-ID folder. LocalLow is hidden.

Cloud saves

On PC, Schedule I uses Steam Cloud, so your saves sync across machines on the same account. Because it's in early access and patches are frequent, close the game and let Cloud finish syncing before restoring a backup so it isn't overwritten.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Schedule I is Steam-Cloud-synced and in frequent early-access patching, so a cloud conflict after playing offline or on a second PC is common. Each numbered save folder does not merge — if you pick the wrong copy in the Steam dialog you overwrite a newer run. Because saves live in the hidden LocalLow folder, back up before you answer any conflict prompt.

  1. When Steam shows the cloud-conflict dialog, choose Cancel first so nothing syncs until you've checked.
  2. Back up the local copy: press Win+R, type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves and copy your <SteamID> folder somewhere safe (LocalLow is hidden).
  3. Exact backup command (Windows CMD): robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ScheduleISaveBackup" /E
  4. Compare which is newer: check the modified date of the files inside each numbered save-slot folder against the last time you played elsewhere — newest wins.
  5. In the Steam dialog pick "Upload to Steam Cloud" if your local save is newer, or "Download" if the cloud copy is newer.
  6. After every early-access update, close the game fully and let the Steam Cloud icon finish before you restore a backup, or the patch's sync can overwrite it.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Schedule I saves live in one LocalLow folder and are easy to lose on a reinstall or PC move. Copy them to the Desktop first — paste into Command Prompt:

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ScheduleI-Save-Backup" /E

/E keeps each SaveGame_N subfolder intact. Restore by copying a folder back while the game is closed.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow and press Enter.
  3. Open TVGS > Schedule I > Saves > your numbered user-id folder to find each save slot.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)

This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\<user-id>, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.

Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted

Verify the game files first, then look in AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\<user-id> for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.

FAQ

Where is the Schedule I save file on PC?

It's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves, inside a numbered user-id folder. Press Win+R, type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow, then open TVGS\Schedule I\Saves.

Why is there a numbered folder inside Schedule I\Saves?

That number is your user/Steam ID. Your actual save slots live inside it, so back up the whole numbered folder to keep every slot.

How do I back up my Schedule I save?

Copy your numbered user-id folder (or the whole Saves folder) from AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first.
