Where Are PowerWash Simulator Save Files Located?
PowerWash Simulator files careers and settings in a FuturLab folder under AppData LocalLow, saves apart from preferences.
Last updated
FuturLab follows Unity convention with tidy subdivisions. SaveData holds the career slots, Preferences holds the futurplayerprefs settings file, and both live under a PowerWash Simulator folder in LocalLow.
The separation is practical, not decorative. Settings corruption gets fixed by deleting one file while careers survive untouched, which support recommends before full reinstalls. Reinstalling through Steam leaves LocalLow alone, so careers normally outlive the game itself.
Where PowerWash Simulator stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\FuturLab\PowerWash Simulator
Career slots live in SaveData, settings in Preferences as futurplayerprefs. Back up SaveData before reinstalls even though uninstalls usually spare it.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1290000/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for app 1290000. Saves hide inside at drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/FuturLab/PowerWash Simulator. Library paths vary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset settings without losing progress?
Delete futurplayerprefs in the Preferences folder. That resets bindings and graphics while the SaveData folder keeps every cleaned job intact. Official support prescribes exactly this split for settings trouble.
Can I move my career to a new PC?
Yes. Copy the SaveData folder to the same path on the new machine with Steam Cloud on. The slots reappear together, and co-op clients keep their own copies of shared jobs.
