Where Are House Flipper 2 Save Files Located?
House Flipper 2 keeps profiles in LocalLow under Frozen District, with dated automatic backups in Profiles.backup.
Last updated
House Flipper 2 moved house in 2024. Saves started in Documents and now live in LocalLow under Frozen District. Profiles hold live progress per numbered profile, with Jobs and Houses subfolders inside. Profiles.backup next to it holds dated auto copies from long sessions.
Old Documents folders still sit on many PCs and the game ignores them, which reads as lost progress after the migration. Move the contents forward once, then back up the LocalLow tree. Steam Cloud conflicts caused real wipes for this title, so keep a manual copy regardless.

Frequently asked questions
How do I restore a House Flipper 2 backup profile?
Open Profiles.backup, pick your profile number, then the newest dated folder. Copy its contents over the matching live profile folder while the game is closed.
My saves are still in Documents. How do I migrate them?
Copy Documents saves into the LocalLow path below and delete the old folder. The 2024 migration moved saves out of Documents for good.
Should I leave Steam Cloud on?
Turn it off for this title. Cloud sync has a record of wiping HF2 profiles, and OneDrive fighting over Documents era files caused the same symptom.
