Introduction
In this guide I'm going to show how to have multiple save files with just a little bit of file management. This guide assumes you're familiar with the basics of a windows operating system.

If you're a parent or just like to have multiple save files like myself this guide will come in handy, and various other games are sometimes formatted the same way so you might even learn an applicable computer skill in the process.

This is my first guide so I apologize about and potential formatting issues.
Step By Step Process
1. First you're going to navigate to "Lego Bricktales" on your games list.


2. Then you're going to Click on the Gear Icon on the Right side of the Header and then Click on "Properties"


3. In the "General" Tab, under Steam Cloud turn off "Keep game's saves in the Steam Cloud for LEGO Bricktales". If you followed the process so far this will turn off Cloud Saves for JUST this game.

4. After Closing out of the Settings window you can proceed to open the "File Explorer" in your start menu (or if you have it pinned to your taskbar)
Then navigate to "This PC" then the drive windows is installed on, likely your "(C:)" Drive.


5. Proceed to click on the "Users" file,
Your User Profile,
And then "AppData".
IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS FILE: At the top of the window click the "View" tab and then check "Hidden Files".


6. Click into "LocalLow",
then "ClockStone Software GmbH",
into "LEGO Bricktales".
This is the location of your save game it'll be the file of a string of numbers.

7. At this point you can go ahead and open another window of "File Explorer", navigate to where you'd like to keep your saves and make a couple folders. I'd also recommend adding a shortcut of the folder.

8. Now you can simply copy the save folder to where you would like to keep your saves. As long as you copy the entire folder over you can name the parent folders whatever to keep them organized how you want them.
Launch the game and it'll act as if you haven't played before. Alternatively you can use this method to copy your save so you don't have to start over again but get another save file.
Congratulations You Now Have Multiple Save Files
From here unfortunately you still have to manually copy the save file to the created folder to update after each play period, and copy from your created folder to the "LEGO Bricktales" folder. But it still enables the ability to have multiple saved games. Think of it as a sort of memory card you have to switch each time like the good ol' days.
TLDR
1. Turn off Steam Cloud in games properties
2. Look for "ClockStone Software GmbH" in "AppData/LocalLow/"
3. Copy over numbered file to a separate directory.
4. Start game, repeat process when finished and then replace with the file you want to play next. MAKE SURE TO UPDATE BETWEEN PLAYS OR BEFORE REPLACING
5. Profit?
