Where Does Aloft Store Mods?
Where Aloft keeps BepInEx mods and sky island saves on Windows and Linux systems for moves.
Last updated
Aloft mods live in the BepInEx tree inside the install: plugins for mods and config for per mod options. Sky island progress sits in saves apart, so back up both halves for a full move.
Confirm the Steam AppID on SteamDB before scripting Proton paths; the number below fits standard installs. A separate post covers unmodded Aloft saves alone; this one covers the modded half. Copy with the game closed.

Same install relative layout under Proton. Confirm the AppID on SteamDB when scripting; replace the number when installs differ.
