Last updated
Bus Simulator 21 stores progress the standard Unreal way. A folder named BusSimulator21 sits in LocalAppData, with Saved/SaveGames for careers and Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor for settings. The paths come straight from the wiki game-data table with a developer thread confirming the config side.
Neither Documents nor Steam userdata is primary here; the cloud mirror only reflects the local tree. Copy the Saved folder with the game closed to move companies between machines. Settings travel with saves in the same copy.

Both builds use the same LocalAppData tree, so manual copies transfer between them. Cloud sync stays per store, so copy by hand when switching storefronts rather than trusting either cloud.
