    TSW4 is giving me the option of importing either my TSW2 profile or my TSW3 profile. Both appear to be identical - the same level etc. - so does it matter which I choose?

    if you imported your TSW2 profile to TSW3 a year ago then I'd port the TSW3 one to TSW4 as you surely made more progress in TSW3

    If you've played routes that were only for TSW3 and want progress to transfer from them then go for the TSW3 profile import.

    You could try moving the TSW2 folder out of the My Games folder to see which one is the TSW3 folder.

    Hi,,,This may be the place to get a few answers if anyone can help.

    I have just bought a PS5 now as I done a full data transfer from PS4 to PS5 not a problem. All save history for other game titles has carried over including trophies except for the newer TSW3 PS5 version and TSW4 PS5 now when selecting between the two PS version it’s downloading both PS4 and PS5 regardless of version. So I’ve allowed it to continue to install both PS4 and PS5.

    Now this is the important part about profile transfer.

    The problem. TSW2 PS4 version is picking up from PS4 data not a problem. So on PS5 I can start where I left it on PS4.
    But if I try load into TSW3 PS4 version it will not load up at all.
    So I maybe doing something wrong but my understanding is if the PS5 version will not read the PS4 save data even when transferring save data directly from USB to the console SSD. Then I assume to transfer profiles from TSW2 PS4 on PS5 to TSW3 PS4 on PS5 then I can transfer that profile but I am unable to get access to TSW3 PS4 version in order to import the TSW2 profile to TSW3 then TSW4 all PS4 first as to pass the profile across. Then delete all PS4 versions and just keep TSW4 on PS5.

    Because am I right in saying once those profiles had crossed across PS4 version first those profiles will be saved on the PS5 so then that information is there for import on to PS5 titles. As they have been done in the steps mentioned. But unable to attempt this as TSW3 PS4 version will not load so I can import the profile from TSW2.

    As I am aware that the save data DTG as a developer has taken no responsibility for like other developers can do so it comes down to the users to look after cross gen save data. And that starting a new PS5 title can rest your progress as it’s a new game completely,,as it has done when going into TSW4 PS5 and it will do the same for TSW4 PS4 version now I can’t import that TSW3 PS4 profile.

    So am I overthinking it to much overlooking the real issue for again I’d assume the PS4 data is there for the TSW PS4 version to be available like it is for TSW2 PS4 no save data showing for any TSW titles after that. Even tho it’s been installed on the original data transfer and a individual USB save data transfer.

    The process I have mentioned looks like the correct method as all other title like City Skylines. Fishing Atlantic and many other title that I have upgraded from the PS4 version to the PS5 all data is there the game load run with all DLCs saves etc no problem.
    So currently I am trying to complete the process but TSW3 is preventing this from happening. And I am in the process of uploading many liveries to take advantage of the new upload system that was an issue for older titles. More information I’ll place in my thread page.

    But until then I’m seeing if I am doing anything wrong and if any folk out there can still offer any advice surrounding this topic.
    The way I am going around it seems to painful of a process and someone out there with better understanding than me must have the answers to make this task easier than I am making it.
