Where Are Cities: Skylines Saves Located?

Cities Skylines Saves folder under Colossal Order on Windows, plus the Steam Cloud userdata copy.

Last updated

Cities: Skylines keeps cities as .crp files in a Saves folder under Colossal Order, then Cities Skylines, in Local AppData. Workshop assets live separately under Steam workshop content.

Steam Cloud mirrors saves under userdata app 255710. A city that needs custom assets must move those too, or it loads stripped.

Where Cities: Skylines stores this, by platform

Windows

Cloud copies under Steam\userdata\[ID]\255710\remote. Paste the path into the Run dialog to jump there.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my city load without buildings?

Missing Workshop assets. Resubscribe to the same asset set; the .crp only stores references, not the models.

How do I move a city to a new PC?

Copy the .crp out of Saves into the same folder on the new machine, then let Workshop re download the asset list.
