Where Are Paralives Save Files Located?
The Paralives save folder on PC in early access, with .mod save and options files under LocalLow.
Last updated
Paralives entered early access in May 2026 and saves in Unity's LocalLow folder under its own studio name. Households live in files ending .mod, which looks odd the first time you see a save directory full of them.
Options ride in a sibling file called MyOptions.mod, so the pair travels together. Because the game is still in early access, expect this layout to shift before 1.0 and keep manual backups of anything you care about.
Where Paralives stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Paralives\Paralives
Unity LocalLow location. Households are in MySavedGames.mod and settings in MyOptions.mod. Early access layout, so recheck after major updates before assuming old backups still load.
Frequently asked questions
What is the .mod file in my Paralives folder?
That is the save format: MySavedGames.mod holds households and MyOptions.mod holds settings. Copy both to back up a game.
Will early access updates wipe my Paralives saves?
They should carry over, but early access means no guarantees. Keep a dated copy of the Paralives folder before each patch and you can always roll back.
