SOTFEdit is a Windows savegame editor for Sons of the Forest. It can change player stats, game setup, playtime, weather and other game-state data, as well as add or remove inventory items, adjust quantities and edit storage. It also edits NPCs and followers: players can change Kelvin’s and Virginia’s stats, outfits, equipment and locations, and revive them. The map can display points of interest and savegame information, teleport the player and followers to locations with known coordinates, and spawn NPCs. Changed files can be backed up automatically. The project is a non-commercial fan project unaffiliated with the game’s developers. It requires Windows 8 or later and the .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime; the releases page lists v0.13.0 as the latest release. Some storage items are unsupported, and teleportation is limited to locations with known coordinates. The maker warns that spawning many NPCs may severely affect performance, crash the game or corrupt savegames. The application is self-developed and unsigned, with its code hosted on GitHub.
