Because apparently it needs to be stated here as well as in the NexusMods; the application is unsigned and therefore can flag up a False Positive with some anti-virus software. If you are really scared about it being a virus, download the application and compile it yourself. Look through the source code. You can see a virus report here

🚀 Installation

Download the compiled executable from Nexus Mods or over on the Releases Page.

⚠️ A word of warning

When in the app, simply load a deserialized save file using the file menu. Wait patiently for it to load the *.json and gather the data. You can then replace the traits of your Pals with ones that you want.

Caution

It is advised that you backup ALL save files before using the tool; it will eventually do this on it's own but doesn't yet. For more information on how to do this, see the 📦 Backing up your save section.

It is recommended to save your edited pals as a *.pson file for easier access. You can choose to save as a *.pson file. When you want to inject the changes into your save, simply save over your Level.sav.json and the program will splice it in at the correct location. Then Serialize the save again using 'palworld-save-tools' and put the resulting Level.sav into your save folder where the original one was. Load up PalWorld and enjoy.

🕹️ Usage

1. Convert your save to a *.sav.json using the Convert menu at the top.
2. Load the *.sav.json file using the File menu.
3. Edit your Pals as desired.
4. Save the changes to the same *.sav.json file.
5. Convert it back to a *.sav using the Convert menu again.

📦 Backing up your save

It is advised that you backup ALL save files before using the tool. Although the tool will eventually do this on its own, it doesn't yet.

On Windows, the saves can be found in the following locations:

• %appdata%/Local/Pal/Save/Savegames
• C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames

Replace <username> with your Windows username.

If you’ve installed Palworld via Steam, you can also access your save files by following these steps:

1. Open your Steam library.
2. Right-click on Palworld, then select Manage > Browse local files.
3. This will open the folder where Palworld’s installed files are stored, named Pal.
4. From here, go to Saved > SaveGames to access your save files for the game.
