For information well-nigh how the game saves progress on mobile devices, meet Mobile Saves.

The game saves progress when the in-game solar day ends, i.east., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without catastrophe the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click through the prompts at stop of twenty-four hours and wake up in the morning.

Save files are tagged with the version of the game that final saved the file (e.g., <gameVersion>i.5.vi</gameVersion>). An older version of the game is not able to load a newer salve file, but a newer version can load an older relieve. In one case a newer version saves over an older save file (e.g., when yous save for the offset fourth dimension afterwards the game itself was updated to a new version), the salve file will be tagged with the newer version number.

A salve file may be transferred to a unlike device family (due east.g., from mobile to PC) every bit long as the game version on the receiving device is not older than the save file's version tag. For example, a save file from a mobile device running version 1.4 tin be transferred to and used on a PC running ane.five.6, but a ane.5.half-dozen PC save file will not run on a mobile device with version 1.four.

Troubleshooting

Save disappeared or doesn't load

Here'southward how to recover your relieve in most cases. (Note that save problems are almost always caused by the game itself, not mods.)

  1. Find your relieve files.
    • If the files are however there, here are some common fixes (endeavor one at a time):
      1. If some of the files have _STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP in the proper name, remove that from their name and reload the game. Yous may demand to showtime disable Steam cloud saves for SDV, every bit it can keep automatically renaming them every time you reload. To do that, become to Stardew Valley in your Steam library, click the gear icon and go to Properties, and uncheck the option to sync cloud saves.
      2. If you recently renamed or created the binder (east.g., to restore a fill-in), make sure the folder proper noun exactly matches the file that looks like FarmName_0123456789.
      3. Try undoing the last salvage.
      4. If you are on PC, ensure that the game files do non accept an extension like .bin. If you are on Android, you lot may demand to add the file extension .bin.
      5. Modded saves may non be able to load in the vanilla game, depending on the mods that were used. If y'all previously played with mods merely are trying to launch the game in vanilla, try reinstalling SMAPI and playing a twenty-four hours. SMAPI will automatically clean upward any custom content from your salve. Note that if you still have custom items in your inventory, they will turn into bare error items and may crusade problems.
    • If the files are missing but yous have SMAPI installed, here'southward how to recover a fill-in:
      1. Find your game folder.
      2. Open the relieve-backups subfolder.
      3. Unzip the latest backup which has your salve, and copy the save binder back into Saves.
  2. If the above fixes didn't help, see this guide or ask for help; we might be able to recover the save for you lot.

Annotation: don't keep backup folders in the saves folder, since the game will try to load them. Either movement those into a different folder, or delete them.

Disengage the last save

If something went incorrect, y'all tin undo the last save.

For a save from Linux/Mac/Windows/Android:

  2. Back up your salve folder just in instance.

  4. Remove the _old suffix from SaveGameInfo_old and the file that looks like FarmName_123456789_old.

Edit a salve

A relieve file open in Sublime Text with formatted XML.

You tin can edit your salve to gear up some common bug or change your choices. This can permanently break your save if you lot brand a mistake; don't forget to create a fill-in first. You should also avert automatic salvage editor tools, since they often intermission the save.

  1. Install Sublime Text for Linux, Mac, or Windows. (If you already have some other text editor which supports XML formatting, feel free to utilize that instead.)

Tips:

  • Click an chemical element, and press CTRL + SHIFT + [ to collapse the whole section which contains it. This is useful when you lot want to ignore a large field. For example, given this text in the save file: 
                                    <ArrayOfInt>                <int>1981</int>                <int>0</int>                <int>0</int>                <int>0</int>                <int>0</int>                <int>0</int>                </ArrayOfInt>

    Click on ane of the <int> fields and press those keys, and it volition collapse into this: 

                                    <ArrayOfInt>                […]                </ArrayOfInt>
  • Click any element, and expect in the status bar to see the path to where you are in the save format (like /SaveGame/player/friendships/item[32]).

Indistinguishable a save

You can indistinguishable a save for testing purposes, or to explore different options without starting over.

  1. Find your save files.
  2. Create the new save folder:
    1. Indistinguishable the target save folder.

      • change the name so you can recognise it in-game;
      • change the number at the end to any number that's not used by some other save.
    3. Open up the new folder for the next steps.
  3. Prepare the new files:
    1. Delete (or apply the post-obit steps to, if y'all want the backup as well) whatever file whose name ends with _old or .dorsum.*.
    2. Rename the file that looks like Name_0123456789 to match your new binder name.
  4. Edit the save metadata:
    1. Open the SaveGameInfo file in a text editor like Notepad.
    2. Look for <name> on the first line. Your farmer's name should exist right subsequently that. Alter information technology to your new name.

    3. Search for the 2d mention of your name (ctrl+f to 'notice') and change it to your new name.
    4. Search for the old save ID (<uniqueIDForThisGame>, the number from the erstwhile filename). Change it to your new number.

That'southward information technology! Launch the game and cheque the load menu; you lot'll run into both saves now.

Change farm type

If you employ SMAPI (mods):

You lot tin can alter farm blazon by loading your save in-game, then inbound set_farm_type FARM_ID_HERE in the SMAPI console window. (You can enter set_farm_type list to run into a list of farm type IDs.)

That will change the farm map, but everything placed on the farm will stay where it is. You may have things in an invalid position, like trees in a lake. Y'all can either install Noclip Mode to reach things that are out of bounds, or run 1 of these console commands:

command effect
world_clear farm debris remove stones, branches, weeds, and dead crops.
world_clear farm trees remove non-fruit trees.
world_clear subcontract fruit-copse remove fruit trees.
world_clear subcontract grass remove tall grass.
world_clear farm everything remove everything, including placed objects.
If you play without mods:
You can change farm type past editing your save file:
  1. Open up your relieve file for editing.
  2. Search for <whichFarm>. The number subsequently that open tag is the subcontract blazon.
  3. Change the number to the i y'all want:
    Code Farm Type
    0 Standard Farm
    1 Riverland Subcontract
    2 Forest Farm
    three Hilltop Farm
    four Wilderness Subcontract
    v Four Corners Farm
    6 Beach Subcontract

That volition change the farm map, but everything placed on the farm volition stay where it is. You may have things in an invalid position, like copse in a lake. You lot can accept annotation of what's out of bounds, then switch dorsum to the one-time farm type and motility them.

Remove an NPC

Yous can remove an NPC from your save file (due east.g., to fix an NPC permanently stuck in an invalid place). If it still exists in the game information, the NPC will respawn when y'all reload the save file. This should be a terminal resort, and is unnecessary when using SMAPI versions 3.0 and up, as SMAPI will attempt to remove this data for you.

  1. Open your save file for editing. Make sure you format the file for readability per those instructions.
  2. Remove the NPC:
    1. Search for the NPC's default proper name between 'name' tags (e.g., to remove Penny: <proper name>Penny</name>).
    2. Remove the entire 'NPC' department containing the line you found, starting from the previous <NPC> line upward to and including the side by side </NPC> line.
  3. (optional) Remove the NPC friendship information:
    1. Search for the NPC's default name between 'string' tags (east.grand., to remove Penny: <string>Penny</string>).
    2. Remove the entire 'item' section containing the line you found, starting from the previous <particular> line upwards to the next </detail> line.
