Where Are Bye Sweet Carole Save Files Located?
Bye Sweet Carole saves as .savj files under the Meangrip co-developer name in LocalLow.
Last updated
Bye Sweet Carole files its saves under Meangrip, the co-developer, rather than Little Sewing Machine. The folder sits in LocalLow and the files use a .savj extension instead of the usual .sav, so both the location and the suffix surprise first-time backup attempts.
Steam Cloud syncs the folder, which covers the story branches across machines. The game also ships artbook and soundtrack DLC into the Steam install directories, but those are downloads, not saves, and reinstalling restores them automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What are .savj files in Bye Sweet Carole?
The game's story saves in JSON-flavored format. Copy them like any save file with the game closed. The extension is unusual but the handling is ordinary.
Where are the Bye Sweet Carole artbook and soundtrack?
In the Steam install folders, not with saves: steamapps/common/Bye Sweet Carole for the artbook and steamapps/music for the OST. They redownload with the DLC.
