Afterbirth Save Editor
Edits Afterbirth save files.
Created 9 years ago
This is a pretty functional save editor for The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth. It currently supports editing known stored values like mom kills/eden tokens/etc, endings seen, post-it note progress, collected items, secrets unlocked, bosses defeated, challenges completed, and special seeds unlocked.

It's windows-only, but it should support both steam cloud and offline saves.


Please back up your save files before you edit them to avoid the risk of (permanent) save corruption.


Notes/Instructions:

All three save slots need to exist for this to work. If you don't have save files for slots 2/3, start and stop a new run in those slots before using this.

I would not recommend editing files while the game is open. Close the game before opening the editor and making changes.

For the vast majority of use cases, just hit auto-load and the save editor will automatically locate your steam cloud saves. If you want it to automatically locate your offline saves, uncheck the "using steam cloud saves" box before hitting auto-load -- it'll locate the savedatapath.txt file in your afterbirth exe folder and read a save location from it.

You can manually load a folder using the open manually button -- if the steam cloud folder is checked, load the "250900" folder in your steam userdata folder. If it isn't, load the "The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth" folder in Documents/My Games.

If you're editing steam cloud saves, it will (try to) automatically update the steam cloud hash on save, preventing steam cloud from downloading the stored online save and wiping your edits.

I don't have it but what exactly is this used for?
im going to try it with afterbirth plus i will give information when im done
just finished and it does not work mod creator if you update it to afterbirth plus i will be happy
good mod. thanks. when afterbirth +?
Doesn't work. Keeps telling me save 3 is too old. Despite I just did exactly what it asked me to for it.
Same problem but says 2 for me
It should be installed correctly and I have all three files with stuff on them but it still isnt working. Could it be because of afterbirth plus?
How can I change the number of the eden tokens? (I already have 1001% but I only have 109 eden tokens. I am worried to spend them! MY PRECIOUS EDEN TOKENS!)
Bottom left of the screen there is an slider with different options, it reads "Mom kills" at first. You just need to click and look for the Eden tokens option.
this have any chance to get banned on steam ? because i get all the achievements...

It works
This is cool!

Got this error. Don't really want to try using it until I can get some clarification; anyone know how to approach this?
I'm not sure but I think you're missing a file to run the program.
If you're looking for a way to give yourself items/switch character items for fun you probably want to use the afterbirth custom challenge launcher, it's a bit more efficient.
But if you're trying to give yourself an auto 1001% then your probably going to have to google search about not having the file.
It stopped happening for some reason lol, so it works now. Don't know what caused it, but luckily it's no longer an issue.
Used it on my 3rd save file for mods.
Can you please make it mac compatible?
My brother deleted all my progress
im gonna ask evry mod creator this: is it rebirth compatable?
"Valid folder, but peristentgamedata1.dat doesn't exist." Please help... Tried reinstalling the game twice.
i think you have to have done a run in all three saves

It works
No it doesn't. Because .exe files are only for windows (not sure about linux tho)
10/10 Accidently Made My Profile 1001% and Don't Feel Like Changing It
Really good but unfortunatly isn't for mac.
So maybe make this mod work? ..and not broken
it wont recognize the save files or anything at all

Anyone knows a editor that actuality works

Hey Great mod but there are bugs. Take an example(or several):

1. i tried to equip box of friends(spacebar item) on eve and it didnt show up in gameplay. infact the spacebar item was empty as i picked up jar of flies later.

2.on the Same eve run, i equipped her with 3 guppy items, BUT despite the items showing their effects, i didnt transform into guppy!!!!

3. on the same eve run, familiars didnt work. i had incubus and guppys hairball but none of them showed up!!!!!

Thats all for Bugs but for an update, you could:
1.Make it so lilth can have transformations!
Oh and also it would be f-ing awesome if you could add 'N' number of an item into your passive item pool thingy and you would have an N number of that item in game.

for example it i put like 5 incubuses in the item pool you should have 5 incubuses following around in game. Ik this works with certain items like guppy's collar but make it happen for every passive item!

Thanks in advance!
I'm downloading it now! Hope it works!
My computer says the file isn't safe, I know this works, how can I make it work?
Its perfectly safe. run the program as administrator or disable your anti virus
It worked! It worked! IT WORKED! Thank you so much for this amazing mod!
wont work for me. i have afterbirth not through steam. it just says that it cant find any saves
Cuz it looks for save on staem cloud. sorry
Is it supposed to give achievements? If so, I didn't get any...
amazing! i got 1001% with this!
Ingame? This is a save editor my friend. Check the custom challenge creators, they might have your solution.
Works flawlessly for me, thank you so much for saving me an eternity
The Best Item Editor For Afterbirth!
Thanks
The program tries to load persistentgamedata1.dat, but I have AB_persistentgamedata1.dat since I have Afterbirth. It obviously says me that the folder is valid, but it didn't find the correct file... Help? Thanks
не работает мод
Will there be challenge support?
my norton security wont allow me to open it
never use norton, dude it sucks
i know but i have to my dad has it for this pc
does this mod give steam achievments?
Really? Because it didn't for me...
Probably check if on your runs, were achievments disabled?
Hello, would it be possible to add the function to be able to edit the amount of coins in the donation machine? I was messing around with an overpowered run where whenever I shot out bombs, the entire screen would fill up with sad bombs that shot parasite ipeacs everywhere, I accidentally used this in a shop and in an instant, all 386 of my coins were gone from the machine. I tried to put most of them back but it jammed on the first coin. I don't want to have to force unlock all the donation machine unlocks, because I liked being able to bomb it for spare coins if I needed money. Please help!
You can use Glowing HourGlass to get 999 coins again, it's easy , only u need is this item and batteries to buy
Oh no, just about to die during the It Lives! fight!!
Might as well use this mod.
it wont let me edit anything!! i click save or watever and it says succuss blah blah blah but wen i join the game it acts like it hasent been edited!
I have the same problem. Does anyone know any solution? Or did you already find one?
how does this mod work?
seems interesting
i think it edits save files downloaded on your computer...(from my experiences with Gibbed Save Editor)
Nice program! Let's people like me finally get to experience Lost and the Keeper, although they both are terrible characters they are still fun to play.
The lost was rebirth's challenge character, who was then buffed into being the 1st/2nd best character (d6 isaac is debatable) once you git gud.

The keeper took the place of being afterbirths challenge character.

Niether is terrible, they just aren't easy.
Are you able to change a character's stats? I would love to max out my luck and see what it can do. But I don't wanna do anything until I have the necessary information I need. After all, who wants to have their file corrupted?
Wait, it is saying that it can't locate any saves. Darn :\
I'm using a mid 2011 MacBook Air.
It is impossible for anyone to mod character stats, only starting items. It will change in Afterbirth+ though
This Mod is AWESOME!!! i finally can have a 101% save
Unhandled exception. for everything I do.
Same here. It also fails to actually edit my save in the end, making it useless. No offence intended, I admire the bravery in even attempting to make this
How can I unlock the D6 with this?
Unhandled exception
Ab persistant gamedata.
Yeah I don't foken get it. It's really annoying. I just want to unlock the D6.
I read it again, you may have to play a little bit of one game on your alternate saves.
this one can corrupt your issac? T-T
But it doesn't increase damage but it seems to me the damage was more
this mod restart my save.. THANK YOU....
Doesnt work for me. Selected the polaroid and negative and when it saved it wasnt ingame.

I tried manual loading but that came up with persistantsave or something with no AB at the start

anyone know?
is there anyway this could be used to get a lot of eden tokens?
It keeps telling me that it cant find the persistentgamefiles when they are there!
It had a error loading the save files for both folders and steam cloud. I believe it may have to do with Binding of Undertale mod? Idk.
The link to the Error message I get from the details is here.

HELP!!!! I CRASH WHEN EVER I LOAD UP MY GAME!!! IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIX IT!!!!
it says "program was unable to save localtes" pls halp
it says "program was unable to save localtes" pls halp
I actually tried to unlock Epic Fetus and Tech.5 with this by ticking the challenges, but i still don't get the items, even if I use specific seeds.
Make sure you have them unlocked in the "secrets" tab I'd say thats how I got my stuff to unlock!
doesn't let me open save files? gives me a popup saying the program has failed and i can quit or continue and it doesn't work if i continue.
it wants from me persistentgamedata but i have ab_persistentgamedata. Someone help pls.
Hello! For me, it helped to enable Steam's Cloud saving, start the game once to sync and then start the editor again.
Can my Steam Profile get Banned from all the Achievements that i get in these seconds?
im trying to load my save, i have the files for save and 3 used, but manualy loading and automaticaly loading the data has caused an error saying a file is missing, or saying the file was to old, the dlc is installed, and active, the data save was imported from rebirth via in game when the dlc was released, im not sure what im doing wrong
Why are all of the files .Zip folders cuz I don't have winzip I cant use any of the mods
Get 7zip, it's a really good program that can extract zip,rar,etc
can you make a rebirth version I don't have after birth yet
Thanks. I got really sick of waiting for Afterbirth on the PS4 so I just copied my progress with this after buying the game for PC. Saved me a crapton of time.
Question. When it says "Mom Kills" does it mean just killing mom, or killing mom's heart?
Ever heard of a mac? Try considering windows isn't the only computer.
Patience must you wait, soon is porting.
I believe that they are easier to work with though, and many people play Isaac on windows since it is more game-friendly.
wine! use custom select and on drive y
I dosn|t Work Becouse I Haven|t installt steam on C And If i try manyually it say üersitsgamdatae3.dat not found
Well then do a manual detect... and also the problem i have is that it looks for gamedata2 and when i have gamedata1 but i dont know if that would be a problem for you.
ok.. i dont get it :c how do i find my files? everytime i "auto-load" it says that it could find the files. and when i "manually open" my folder where my saves are.... it says that there is not the file that is wanted (persistentgamedatae1(2,3).dat)

HALP xD
Go to your steam folder and click userdata (or something) then go to the (your user id) file # then go to the file named 250900, use that file. (the file named 250900. also you can get to the steam from the C: or localdisk folder from the computer section in the start member and click either the steam if its right there or click prgram files x84 or whatever then find steam.) your welcome.
for some reason i cant see my 250900 folder do you know what my problem is
i found with your second method but i cant get to the saves and if i click the 250900 folder it says
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue,etc"
Ok, I need a Linux version if I'm going to actually use this anytime soon. Though that's probably not going to happen...
Aww man, a way to unlock The Lost without the tediousness!
This is good even though all I use this for is to give myself more Eden tokens .
Hey, how do you edit values, I need help -_-
Will this ever come out for mac computers? Just asking, and if not. Some plz link a .exe opener for mac!
