Here's exactly where Bully: Scholarship Edition keeps your saves on PC, why it's not in the Rockstar Games folder, and how to back them up.
Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bully Scholarship Edition
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Bully Scholarship Edition . Save files are named BullyFile1, BullyFile2, etc. Note: this is NOT under Documents\Rockstar Games like GTA/Max Payne — Bully uses its own Documents folder.
Cloud saves
Bully: Scholarship Edition on Steam (app 12200) does not sync to Steam Cloud — saves stay local in Documents\Bully Scholarship Edition. Copy that folder yourself before reinstalling Windows or moving PCs.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type shell:Personal and press Enter to open your Documents folder.
- Open the Bully Scholarship Edition folder.
- Copy the whole folder (BullyFile1, BullyFile2...) somewhere safe before modding or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Bully save won't load or is missing
Check Documents\Bully Scholarship Edition, not Documents\Rockstar Games. If empty, the game may be writing under a different Windows user profile, or you launched the Anniversary/mobile edition (different storage).
Save resets after reinstalling
Because there is no Steam Cloud, reinstalling without a backup loses progress. Always copy the whole Bully Scholarship Edition folder (BullyFile1...) before uninstalling or moving PCs.
