Transferring save files for Stardew Valley to a new computer
I have a Steam account I have used for many years on a desktop gaming computer. My wife started playing Stardew Valley on my account and she's hooked, so now I want to set her up with her own Steam account on a new gaming laptop, so that she and I can each play different games at the same time. Is there any way to transfer her saved games to a new computer? We can enable Family Sharing for her new account. Thank you in advance.
According to the Stardew Valley wiki page, save files are stored at %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves
. So, here's a step by step tutorial.
- Press Windows+R
- Type in
%appdata%\StardewValley\Saves
and hit Enter - Find the save your wife uses, it'll look like

- Right click it
- Go down to
Send to...
- Select
Compressed (zipped) folder
- Move the created
.zip
onto a portable USB - Unzip the folder on the new computer
- Move the save back into
%appdata%\StardewValley\Saves
.
