Sons of the Forest: How to Transfer Single-player save into Multiplayer
Fortunately, it’s possible to transfer your single-player save to the game’s multiplayer mode, and the process is relatively simple. Here’s how you can do so.
Note: Before trying this, make sure that you have hosted a game at least once so that the multiplayer folder is created by the game.
- Start by opening the Run dialogue box by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard.
- In the Run box, type in “%appdata%” (without the quotes) and hit Enter. This will open the AppData folder.
- Navigate to the folder named LocalLow, then Endnight, Sons of the Forest, and then Saves.
- In the Saves folder, you will see a folder with a long string of numbers. Click on that folder to open it.
- Inside this folder, there will be another folder called Singleplayer. Open that folder to locate your save file.
- Select the folder that contains your save file and copy it.
- Return to the Saves folder and locate the Multiplayer folder. It should be located in the same directory as the Singleplayer folder.
- Open the Multiplayer folder and paste the copied folder into it.
- Launch Sons of the Forest and select the multiplayer mode.
Your single-player save should now be available in multiplayer mode, allowing you to continue playing with your friends without losing your progress. While there haven’t been any negative effects reported when transferring a single-player save to multiplayer, it’s always a good idea to back up your save file before making any changes, just in case.
