Where are modded saves located?

[Murielkai]

Hey, I just noticed that saves that are modded are not showing up in my saves folder, except for auto and quick saves. Does Fallout 4 put modded saves somewhere other than the documents folder under My Games?

[hard8]

saves are in C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 folder on Windows 10

No, FO4 has only one saves folder. If saves created with mods running wont show up, they are maybe corrupt, and not shown, or you may have too many saves. Try to move some of them to another location and try again.

That's so wierd, they show up in game but not in my save folder.

 

Edit: Wait, I see what is happening now... Modded saves have a different number system, the game is adding an "M" to the save number and it starts over at "save 1" for modded saves. So rather than my modded game saves continuing in a linear order:

 

Save1_D81918B0_436F6F6B6965_Vault111Cryo_000139_20151115030230_1_2.fos

Save2_D81918B0_436F6F6B6965_Commonwealth_000142_20151115030513_1_2

 

Save2_D81918B0M436F6F6B6965_Commonwealth_060741_20160924063059_47_2 <~~~~ Modded save

 

So rather than be intelligent and organized and put the "M" at the beginning of the save (or the end) the Bethesda Devs decided to make everything confusing and jumbled up. So I declare today, September 24, 2016, national call your dev a moron day!

You're twenty years late...

 

Also, the 47 right at the end is your characters level, so, that's another way you recognize a save. If not sure, select a save and check the date and time of the save at the bottom in explorer (I'm still on Win7, so, don't know where to look in later renditions of Windows OS).
