Cargo Simulator 25 – Save File Location

This is your complete guide to finding the save file location for Cargo Simulator 25 on PC. We’ll show you exactly where your progress is stored, how to access the hidden AppData folder, and how to back up your save file.

So you’ve been putting in the hours, hauling cargo across the country in Cargo Simulator, building your trucking empire from the ground up. You’ve got your favorite truck, a ton of cash, and a whole lot of progress you’d hate to lose. Now you need to find your save file—maybe you’re getting a new PC, or you’re just smart and want to make a backup before a big Windows update. Smart move.

The problem is, like a lot of PC games, Cargo Simulator hides its save files in a secret folder. But don’t trip; this guide will show you exactly where to find it and how to access it, step-by-step.

The Official Save File Location for Cargo Simulator

Let’s get straight to it. Your trucking career is saved in a folder deep within your Windows user profile.

The Official Path: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\SincappGames\Cargo Simulator

Let’s break that down so it makes sense:

• C:\Users\: This is the standard folder on your main drive where Windows keeps all user profiles.
• %USERNAME%: This is a Windows shortcut for your actual username. If your Windows account is named “Yaman,” the path would be C:\Users\Yaman\.
• \AppData\LocalLow: This is the tricky part. AppData is a special, hidden folder where programs store their data. LocalLow is a specific subfolder inside it that some games, especially those made with the Unity engine, use for saves.

How to Access the Hidden AppData Folder

Since AppData is hidden by default, you can’t just click your way there. Here are two easy ways to get in.

Method 1: The Pro Gamer Move (Direct Shortcut)

This is the fastest and easiest way, no cap. It lets you jump straight to the right folder.

1. Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the “Run” dialog box.
2. In the box, type this exact path: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow and press Enter.
3. A File Explorer window will pop right open into the LocalLow folder.
4. From there, just find and open the “SincappGames” folder, and inside that, you’ll see your “Cargo Simulator” save folder.

Method 2: The Explorer’s Way (Showing Hidden Folders)

If you want to be able to see the AppData folder all the time, you can change a simple setting in Windows.

1. Open File Explorer (the folder icon on your taskbar).
2. At the top of the window, click on the “View” tab.
3. Look for a checkbox labeled “Hidden items” and click it to enable it.
4. That’s it! Now, when you navigate to your user folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%), the AppData folder will be visible, and you can click through to LocalLow -> SincappGames -> Cargo Simulator manually.

Why You Should Back Up Your Save Files (The PSA)

Now that you know where the files are, you should absolutely be making backups. Here’s why it’s a non-negotiable for any serious PC gamer.

• Protect Your Grind: The worst feeling is losing dozens or hundreds of hours of progress. A random game crash, a file corruption, or a Windows update gone wrong can wipe your save file in an instant. Making a backup is your insurance policy against disaster.
• Moving to a New Rig: Getting a new PC is fire, but starting all your games over is a big yikes. The only 100% guaranteed way to transfer your Cargo Simulator career to a new machine is to manually copy your save folder over.
• Running Multiple Profiles: Want to start a fresh career from scratch but don’t want to delete your main, high-level profile? You can! Just go to the save location and rename your current Cargo Simulator folder to something like Cargo Simulator_Main. The next time you launch the game, it will create a new, fresh save folder. You can easily swap between your profiles just by renaming the folders.

How to Back Up and Restore Your Save

Here’s the quick and easy process for keeping your progress safe.

To Back Up Your Save:

1. Navigate to the C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\SincappGames\ folder using one of the methods above.
2. Right-click on the entire “Cargo Simulator” folder and select “Copy.”
3. Paste that folder somewhere safe, like a different hard drive, a USB stick, or a cloud storage folder like Google Drive or Dropbox.
4. Pro-Tip: Rename the backup with the date, like “Cargo Simulator Backup – Oct 3 2025,” so you always know which backup is the most recent.

To Restore Your Save:

1. Make sure Cargo Simulator is completely closed.
2. Navigate to the AppData\LocalLow\SincappGames\ folder on your PC.
3. Delete or rename the current Cargo Simulator folder that’s in there.
4. Copy your backup folder and paste it into the SincappGames directory.
5. Make sure the folder is named exactly “Cargo Simulator” (without the date or “backup” in the name).
6. Launch the game, and your old progress should be restored.

Now that your progress is safe and sound, you can get back on the road. Happy trucking!
