Where Are Fallout 4 Saves Located?
Fallout 4 Saves folder on Windows, with .fos files, .f4se plugins data and the config files beside them.
Last updated
Fallout 4 saves live under Documents, My Games, Fallout4, Saves as .fos files. Exitsaves, quicksaves and autosaves share the folder with numbered slots.
Modded setups add .f4se co save files beside each .fos. Copying the .fos without its .f4se twin drops script extender state on load.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Fallout 4 saves to a new PC?
Copy the .fos files plus matching .f4se files into Saves on the new machine. Reinstall the same mods first or the save loads stripped.
What is the difference between .fos and .f4se files?
The .fos holds the game state; the .f4se holds script extender plugin state. They pair by filename and travel together.
