Where Are My Friendly Neighborhood Save Files Located?
My Friendly Neighborhood saves per slot under LocalLow John Szymanski, with difficulty and state in text files. Unity, not Unreal.
Last updated
My Friendly Neighborhood surprises twice. The engine is Unity, not the Unreal its peers favor, and saves nest per slot with readable text state inside. The company folder carries a personal name with a space.
Slot folders hold Current state with values players have mapped, difficulty among them. Steam Cloud covers the account side with Xbox Cloud on the store build. Full wipes need both Cloud cleared and the folder deleted.
