## Choose Civilization VI save

Edit gold balances in Civilization VI save files.

Your save stays on your device. Download a separate edited copy.

Choose a .Civ6Save file, up to 64 MiB.

## Save values

New values must be whole numbers from 0 to 16,777,215. Records are listed in file order; player identities have not been verified.

## How to use

Pause Steam Cloud while replacing files so cloud copies do not overwrite your changes.

- Save, close the game, and back up the original file.
- Choose your save and a record, edit values, then download the copy.
- Restore the original filename and place the copy in your save folder.

## Compatibility

Verified with three public save samples. Only recognized gold records are editable. Game versions, DLC, and mods may use different layouts. Edited files have not been tested in-game. Nook Tools is not affiliated with Firaxis or 2K.
