# Tiny Life's Data Folder
|
|
Tiny Life's data folder contains several useful folders and files:
|
|
- `Custom Lots`, `Custom Households`, `Custom Maps`, and `Mods` are the folders that you can put [custom content](getting.md), including [custom maps](custom_maps.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.
|
|
|
|
There are several ways of locating this folder, and its location differs based on the operating system you're using.
|
|
|
|
## From Within the Game
|
|
You can open the data folder easily from within the game by going to the options menu and opening the rightmost tab ("Custom Content"). The tab contains a button to quickly open the data folder.
|
|
|
|
## From Your Computer
|
|
### Windows
|
|
On Windows, you can simply open a file explorer window and paste the following text into its location field:
|
|
```
|
|
%LocalAppData%\Tiny Life
|
|
```
|
|
This should automatically cause the explorer to navigate to the appropriate folder.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
On Linux, you have to navigate to your home folder (also known as `~`) first. This is usually `/home/username`. From there, you can navigate to `.local/share/Tiny Life`.
|
|
|
|
Since `.local` is usually a hidden folder, you might have to configure your file explorer to display hidden files as well.
|
|
|
|
You can also use a command line to navigate to the folder directly using the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
cd ~/.local/share/Tiny Life
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mac
|
|
On Mac, you have to navigate to your home folder (also known as `~`) first. This is usually `Macintosh HD/Users/username`. From there, you can navigate to `.local/share/Tiny Life`.
|
|
|
|
Since `.local` is usually a hidden folder, you might have to configure your finder to display hidden files by pressing `Cmd + Shift + .` together.
|
|
|
|
You can also use a command line to navigate to the folder directly using the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
cd ~/.local/share/Tiny Life
|
|
```
