People Playground, with its delightfully chaotic physics engine, allows for hours of experimental fun. But what happens when you want to revisit that perfectly orchestrated chain reaction or that hilariously disastrous experiment you crafted hours ago? Knowing how to load your saves is crucial. This guide will walk you through the process of loading and managing your People Playground saves.

Locating Your Saved Games

Before you can load a save, you need to know where they're located. The save file location differs slightly depending on your operating system:

• Windows: The save files are typically found in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\NoGravityGames\People Playground\. You'll need to navigate to this folder through your file explorer. You can easily access this path by typing %USERPROFILE% into the file explorer search bar.

• macOS: On macOS, the save files reside in ~/Library/Application Support/NoGravityGames/People Playground/. The Library folder is hidden by default. To access it, you can either use the "Go to Folder..." option in the Finder's "Go" menu (Cmd + Shift + G) and paste the path, or show hidden files through terminal commands.

• Linux: The location may vary slightly depending on your Linux distribution, but it is generally similar to the Windows path, usually within your user's home directory. Consult your distribution's documentation for specifics on locating application data.

Loading a Saved Game

Once you've located your save files, loading a game is straightforward:

1. Launch People Playground.
2. Look for the Load Game option. This is typically found on the main menu.
3. Select the save file you wish to load from the list presented.
4. Click Load. The game should then load your previously saved progress.

Managing Your Saves

With time, you'll accumulate numerous save files. To keep things organized, consider these tips:

• Regularly back up your save files. Copy your save folder to a secondary location (like an external hard drive or cloud storage) to protect against data loss.
• Name your save files descriptively. This will make it easier to find the right save later. Include a date or a brief description of the scene saved.
• Delete old saves periodically. If you're running low on storage space, you can delete saves you no longer need. Be careful though – once deleted, they’re gone for good!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues loading your save files, try the following:

• Verify the game's integrity. Game platforms like Steam often have tools to verify the integrity of your game files, ensuring no files have been corrupted.
• Restart your computer. A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches.
• Reinstall People Playground. This is a last resort, but it may resolve underlying issues.

By following these tips, you can efficiently load, manage, and protect your cherished People Playground creations. Happy experimenting!
