Manor Lords Save File Location
Here's exactly where Manor Lords keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back up a long city build before an update.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ManorLords\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\SaveGames\ . AppData is hidden by default — enable View > Hidden items to see it.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\HoodedHorse.ManorLords_znaey1dw2bdpr
The Game Pass (Microsoft Store) build keeps saves in its own package folder under AppData\Local\Packages instead of the ManorLords folder.
Cloud saves
On PC, Manor Lords uses Steam Cloud, so your SaveGames sync across machines with the same account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose a long settlement.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
- Open ManorLords > Saved > SaveGames.
- Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
