Where Are Two Point Museum Save Files Located?
Two Point Museum saves per Steam ID under LocalLow Two Point Studios, in Slot folders with career files and .bak copies.
Last updated
Two Point Museum nests saves three deep: LocalLow Two Point Studios, then a Cloud folder, then one numeric folder per Steam ID, then Saves with Slot1 through Slot3 inside. Each slot holds career.csav plus numbered .bak fallbacks.
The .bak chain is the recovery path the devs themselves document, but it only works if you stop launching first. Every load writes a fresh autosave and retires the oldest backup. Copy the Saves tree out, promote the newest healthy .bak, and keep Cloud off until the restore verifies.

Frequently asked questions
My museum save corrupted. How do I use the .bak files?
Copy the Saves tree elsewhere first. Delete the broken career.csav, then rename the newest numbered .bak to career.csav. Never relaunch before restoring or autosaves eat the backups.
How do I duplicate a save into another slot?
Copy a slot folder and rename the copy to Slot1, Slot2, or Slot3 inside Saves. The game reads folder names as slots, so naming is the whole trick.
The game says Failed to Save. What fixes it?
Run TPM.exe as administrator from its Properties compatibility tab. Tight account permissions block writes to the saves tree with FileLocked errors.
