Moving Save?

[Senso]

So I pirated a version of stardew valley and I want to help support the amazing guy who made it so I want to buy it on steam. But can I move my save form the pirated version to the steam version and how?

[.xuxu.@.muzic.]

appdate - roaming - stardew valley
this should be the safefile location eitherway.

As xuxuliz@muzic said, the save location is the same between the pirated and Steam versions of the game. It should carry over once you purchase the game on Steam, without having to move any files.

Like many others, I wanted to "try" the game before I bought it *wink wink*...

I didn't have to transfer a save file. Everything from my pirated version transfered over somehow.

But just incase.

How to find your save file (GoG or pirated version) .

So you need to turn on "hidden items". Use google if you dont know how.

For me it was under:
C drive - Users - "My PC name" - AppData - Roaming - StardewValley - Saves

P.S. I'm not an expert, but hopefully this helps others.

Did it unlocked achievements that were already made in nonsteam version, wanna try this game before buying it?

It might have transferred because it doesn't store saves in the steam directory, it stores it in appdata, so the pirated and steam versions of the game both read and write to the same save folder.

Clearly he did. Are you unable to read basic English?

People like to test games before they buy them. He bought the game, thus supporting the developer, so who really cares?

This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever read...
Do you also steal a car first to "try" it before you go to a Cardealer to buy it?
Good luck with explaining that to your local Police Dude..

No. The car dealership let me test drive my car before I bought it.

"Stop right there you criminal scum" Lol
When Diablo 3 was released i bought it only after i played their demo which let you play first chapter of REAL game with all characters, loot, ect with only limit of 20 lvl i guess you could've taste everything. If it wasn't for this i wouldn't buy it, as it was the most expensive game at that time.
