Bus Simulator 18 Save Game -
save games
Here’s a concise guide to managing in Bus Simulator 18 (PC/Steam version).
- Formats: often plain JSON, XML, or serialized binary files. Some games use compressed archives (.zip/.pak) containing structured files.
- Editing: text formats can be edited to tweak money, vehicle counts, or positions; binary formats require specialized tools. Back up before editing.
- Corruption risk: improper edits, crashes during autosave, or conflicting cloud sync can corrupt saves—keep backups and disable conflicting sync during manual edits.
Usage:
- Your current bank balance (in-game currency).
- All owned buses (models, liveries, and condition).
- Unlocked districts and bus stops (percentage of the map revealed).
- Reputation level (how passengers perceive your company).
- Completed missions and achievements.
- Garage upgrades and employee status.
- Time Saving: Unlock the massive bendy-buses and the entire Seaside Valley map in 2 minutes instead of 200 hours.
- Creative Sandbox: If you just want to design liveries and drive specific models without worrying about bankruptcy, a money-save is perfect.
- Recovery: If your hard drive crashes or Steam Cloud corrupts your data, a downloaded save restores your lost weekend.
- Testing Mods: Before investing time in a modded bus, use a super-save to test it immediately.
