It’s imperative that you know how to save your game in Sugardew Island. Not only does it ensure you retain all of your progress, especially regarding unlocking new islands, expanding your house, and planting and watering additional crops, but it’s a safeguard to protect your sanity. I can’t count the number of times I delved into a game and made significant progress, only for it not to save and for me to lose everything. It kills all joy.
How to Save in Sugardew Island
By entering your house at any point during the day, you can walk up to the diary on the table in the very back of the room, near your bed, and there’s an option to ‘Save’ or ‘Load’ by interacting with the book. From here, you can save the game, overwrite a previous save, or keep a selection of different save game files to ensure you can return at an earlier day should you wish to do something a little differently on your farmstead.
From what I’ve gathered during my time with Sugardew Island, you can save anytime. Unlike Stardew Valley, which only saves in the morning after you sleep, Sugardew is far more forgiving.

Does Sugardew Island Autosave?
Yes! You’ll note the game autosave periodically as you play, especially when making progress and sleeping. It’s only a single autosave file, so do not rely on the game’s mechanic. You should always manually save your game, ensuring you don’t lose progress!
When to Save the Game
As someone accustomed to the often unforgiving save mechanic of Stardew Valley, I tend to save every morning after sleeping. It’s become a habit. However, since the quality of life mechanic is there and ready to use, I do recommend saving periodically throughout the day, such as after planting a large number of crops, unlocking a new quest, or before opening the store for the afternoon.
