What it is

SOTFEdit is a free Windows savegame editor for Sons of the Forest. It can change player statistics, progression, game setup, playtime, weather, and other saved game-state values. Inventory tools add or remove items, alter quantities, and edit storage, although some storage items are unsupported. NPC and follower controls cover Kelvin and Virginia, including their statistics, outfits, equipment, locations, and revival. A map displays points of interest and save information, teleports the player and followers to known coordinates, and spawns NPCs. Changed files can be backed up automatically. The project is described as a non-commercial fan project unaffiliated with the game's developers. Windows 8 or later and the .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime are required, and the releases page lists version 0.13.0. The maker says the application is self-developed and unsigned, with source hosted on GitHub. Spawning many NPCs or enemies may severely reduce performance, crash the game, or corrupt saves. Users can report unknown items, request features, submit pull requests, or open issues with logs.

Who it suits

It suits Sons of the Forest players on Windows who want to edit saves, inventory, progression, characters, followers, or map positions. It is also useful for users who want automatic backups before changed files are written.

SOTFEdit offers wide save editing and map controls for Sons of the Forest, with automatic backups and an active GitHub project. Its unsigned status, unsupported storage items, and risks from large NPC spawns call for cautious save handling.
