Where Are Police Chief Simulator Saves Located?
Police Chief Simulator uses an Unreal-style Saved folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\PoliceChiefSimulator for saves and config.
Last updated
Police Chief Simulator is built in Unreal Engine, and the folder names follow the engine default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\PoliceChiefSimulator\Saved. Save slots go in SaveGames, and the engine's ini files sit in Config.
The project name has no spaces, so searching for "Police Chief Simulator" in Explorer will not find it. Steam Cloud covers the save folder, which makes moving a career to another PC painless as long as the sync finishes before you launch the game there. The Saved folder appears on first launch, so a fresh install has nothing to back up until you have started a game.

Frequently asked questions
Where are Police Chief Simulator saves on PC?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\PoliceChiefSimulator\Saved\SaveGames. The folder uses the project name without spaces, so a search for the full title with spaces can miss it.
Does Police Chief Simulator use Steam Cloud?
Yes. Steam Cloud covers the save folder, so a career should follow your account to another PC once the upload finishes. Check the sync icon before you launch on the new machine.
Where are the graphics settings stored?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\PoliceChiefSimulator\Saved\Config, one level above SaveGames. The ini files there hold display, audio and input options for the game.
Can I copy a career to a friend's PC?
Copy the SaveGames folder with the game closed. If you also want your keybinds and graphics settings, copy the whole Saved folder instead of just the save slots.
