How do you have more than one avatar for a game?

[cjmallett]

My wife and my daughter each want to have their own zoo. How do you set up multiple avatars where they can have multiple zoos? It seems like a major flaw to only allow one zoo at a time where most games allow you to have multiple games going on at once.

Hopefully I am just missing something easy. Please help.

I am not sure about this, but I am in for this. As a temporary fix, you could create two additional user profiles on your Windows. Thus, they can have their own files. Just a thought...

Most game do allow multiple saves but not all of them, I have a few games that do not. This ones is one of the ones that do not.

This is an awful configuration. As I buy a game, I would like to play as all my family wants. What does they want? To buy three computers and three copies of the game?

its just an avatar it means nothing .... u can still play the game under diff saves with no problems

If your wife and daughter have steam accounts, family share your game library to their account. If they don't have their own accounts, just ones for them.

When they launch the family shared copy on their account it will act like a completely fresh version of the game. Each account will have their own individual save files.

This is exactly what the family share option was made for, so take advantage of it 😉

Use 2 different steam accounts as said above and family share. Both have there own version of the game then. Watch out with synchronizing to the steam cloud if they both play on the same PC. Do not synchronize from steam cloud to pc, always the other way around.

For OP, I liked this suggestion the best. But as for Tallaw's suggestion, you can classify your save names.
