Farming Simulator 25 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam / Epic / standalone)): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025

Quick answer: On PC, Farming Simulator 25 stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\ , in numbered folders savegame1, savegame2, and so on (each with careerSavegame.xml and the farm data). The game also keeps a savegameBackup folder in the same place. This is NOT the Steam install folder. Copy the whole FarmingSimulator2025 folder to back up careers and mods before updating or moving PCs.

Farming Simulator 25 careers run for hundreds of hours, so knowing exactly where the savegame folders live — and that the game already keeps a backup copy — saves a lot of pain. Here is the exact PC path and how to back up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / Epic / standalone)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\ . Careers are in savegame1..savegameN subfolders; the mods folder and a savegameBackup folder sit alongside them. Note the folder is FarmingSimulator2025 even though the game is '25'.

Backup folder (auto)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\savegameBackup

The game writes automatic backups here. If a career corrupts, copy a matching savegame folder out of savegameBackup into the main folder.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud mirrors the saves and syncs on launch/exit. Files may be hidden in the Windows Store version — enable Show hidden files if the folder looks empty.

Cloud saves

Farming Simulator 25 uses Steam Cloud. It syncs on launch and exit, so a corrupted career can overwrite your good cloud copy the next time you launch. The game's own savegameBackup folder helps, but treat a manual copy of the whole FarmingSimulator2025 folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: a career rolled back or corrupted after a crash or a session on a second PC — Steam Cloud synced an older save, or a mod corrupted the careerSavegame.xml.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025 somewhere safe.
  2. If a career corrupts, copy the matching savegameN folder out of savegameBackup into the main folder to restore it.
  3. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for FS25 (or go offline) before launching, restore your copy, then re-enable cloud.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run
