oh by the way. It transfer pretty well before cloud save.

In situations like this, Automation automatically swaps your Sandbox_230915.db files between a subfolder in Steam\userdata, and the AppData\Local\AutomationGame\Saved\UserData folder - where Automation puts all of the active save files.

What you need to do is find folder where the other Sandbox_230915.db is located; you will have to search for the file manually in Windows Explorer, as it is in a subfolder with your Steam account ID number, and a further subfolder called \293760 (which is Automation's GameID on Steam). Once you find the Sandbox_230915 in that particular folder, make a copy of it and put it somewhere safe and easily accessible. Once you've done that, start Automation with the account you want to move the save database TO, and go to the Main Menu, not into the Car or Engine Designer.

Once you're sitting at the Main Menu, go to %localappdata%\AutomationGame\Saved\UserData, and rename the Sandbox_230915.db file to OLDSandbox_230915.db. Once that's done, find the Sandbox_230915.db file that you searched for in the Steam folders, and copy that into your AutomationGame\Saved\UserData folder, where you renamed the Sandbox file.

When you open the Car Designer, you should - in theory - see all of the cars from the other account load up. Note that any cars from the new account will be inaccessible.

Go to %localappdata%\AutomationGame\Saved\UserData, and locate your Sandbox_230915.db file. This is where all of your Sandbox cars are stored. Simply install + run Automation on the new account, then copy the Sandbox file from the computer with the old account to the new one.

Steam Cloud will probably give you a warning after you do that, so make sure to overwrite your cloud save with your local save if it does.
