# Finding Tiny Life's Data Folder # Tiny Life's Data Folder
Tiny Life's data folder contains the save files, the log files and the folders that you can put custom lots, households and mods into. There are several ways of locating it, and its location differs based on the operating system you're using. Tiny Life's data folder contains several useful folders and files:
- `Custom Lots`, `Custom Households` and `Mods` are the folders that you can put [custom content](getting.md) into.
- `Logs` is the folder where the game's log files are stored. When you experience an issue like a crash, the information about it is stored in the most recently modified log file. If you restart the game, a new log file is created, so the one that contains the information about the issue becomes the second most recently modified file, and so on.
- `Saves` is the folder where your save files are located. If you want to share a save file with a friend, or back it up manually, you can do so from there.
- `Screenshots` is the folder where the game's screenshots (captured using `F12` by default) are stored.
- There are several files that are also stored in the data folder, like the game's options and installation information.
