Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my Stardew Valley save file?
On Windows, your saves are in %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves. Each save folder is named after your farmer (e.g., FarmerName_123456789).
Can I edit multiplayer saves?
Yes, but you should only edit your own save as the host. Be careful not to corrupt shared farm data.
Will editing break my game?
Always backup your save first! Our editor validates changes, but some extreme modifications might cause issues.
Is this safe for Steam achievements?
Yes, Steam cannot detect save editing for single-player games. Your achievements will work normally.
Can I edit saves on Android or iOS?
Yes! You can use this editor on mobile browsers. For Android, you just need to locate your save file. iOS requires file access via the Files app.
How do I backup my Stardew Valley save?
Before editing, simply copy your entire save folder (e.g., FarmerName_123) to a safe location like your Desktop. If anything goes wrong, just paste it back.
What if my file says "Invalid"?
Ensure you are uploading the correct file (SaveGameInfo is NOT the save file). You need the file named like "FarmerName_123456". Also check if your game version is supported.

Why use our Stardew Valley Save Editor?

This automated tool simplifies save editing by parsing the complex XML structure of Stardew Valley save files. Unlike manual text editing which risks file corruption, our editor validates data integrity before saving, ensuring your farm data remains safe.

Key Features

  • Resource Editing: Adjust Gold, Qi Gems, and Casino Coins after backing up your farm.
  • Inventory Management: Add any item (Prismatic Shards, Galaxy Sword) directly to your backpack or chest.
  • Skill Maxing: Level up Farming, Mining, Foraging, Fishing, and Combat to Level 10 immediately.
  • Relationship Modification: Max out hearts with any villager or bachelor/bachelorette.

Safe & Local Processing

Your save files are processed in your browser using JavaScript. The selected save file is not uploaded to our parser server. We do use Google Analytics and AdSense for site performance and ads; see our Privacy and Cookie policies.

Supported Platforms

Fully compatible with PC (Steam/GOG), Mac, Linux, and Mobile (Android/iOS) save files. For Switch/Console saves, you must first export them using a homebrew tool to get the raw file.
