Where are saved games located? (Mac)
- Thread starter georgie
- Start date
This question was answered quite a few times in the Macintosh subforum here 
But not sure if there's a direct thread with that exact title, so here goes, it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/
To access it, the two easiest ways are:
1- go to finder, press the opt (or alt) key and go the Go menu, and select Library, then navigate to Application Support and then Sid Meier's Civilization VI
2- in Finder once again, press cmd-shift-g and enter ~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/

Hi
Thanks
- The folder ~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/ doesn't exist on my Mac. There is no "Sid Meier's Civilization VI" folder in my "Application Support" folder.
- There is also no folder /Users/<username>/Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/. There is no "Sid Meier's Civilization VI" folder in my "Documents" folder.
Thanks

The folder you are looking for is where Narmox described in the post above. However that folder is not created when you install the game.You need to run the game on your Mac so that it can create the Sid Meier's Civilization VI save folder. There is no need to use terminal to access the folder.

never mind .. finally found it in Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ6.appstore/Data/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/
and WorldBuilder seems to work just fine ..
Hi, I can't find it either, and I got the game through Aspyr from the App Store. I've searched the finder for "Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ6.appstore/Data/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/" and it's not there. I can't even find an aspyr folder in the library at all. I also searched through the terminal for "open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ VI/Saves" and found nothing there either. I'm looking for my log files, help

Some files are hiding on Mac.
Use Keyboard Shortcut
Fortunately for those of you running macOS Sierra or later, Apple has added a Finder keyboard shortcut that makes viewing hidden files a fair bit easier:

So now that we found the savegame folder - how do we edit saved games??

You can delete files in that folder, but you can't edit a saved game to change its data unless you know the binary format of the save file. If you find out the format, please let me know!
