Where Are Bills Must Be Paid Save Files Located?

Bills Must Be Paid keeps progress in a FullGame folder under Rike Games in LocalLow, far from the usual Documents simulation save spot.

Last updated

Rike Games' management sim stores its data under the studio name in LocalLow, not under the game title in Documents. The exact trail is Rike Games\Bills Must Be Paid\FullGame, and the FullGame subfolder is the one that belongs to the retail build, so it is where your progress lives.

Steam Cloud syncs the folder for App ID 4421010, which makes moving between machines painless as long as sync finishes before you launch. For a manual backup, copy the whole Bills Must Be Paid folder with the game closed. It is small enough that keeping a dated copy costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Bills Must Be Paid save on Windows?

In %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Rike Games\Bills Must Be Paid\FullGame. Paste that into Explorer's address bar, since the folders stay hidden by default.

Does Bills Must Be Paid have cloud saves?

Yes. Steam Cloud syncs the save tree for App ID 4421010. Let sync finish before switching machines, or you may load an older copy of the shop.

Is FullGame the demo or the full version?

The retail build writes into the folder named FullGame. If a demo exists in the same Rike Games tree, check for a separate folder there before assuming both builds share one save.
