Maybe you messed up a critical choice, locked yourself out of a romance route, or perhaps you just want to experience the story from scratch without the game remembering what you&#8217;ve already seen. Honestly, I got stuck here too the first time because standard save deletion doesn&#8217;t actually wipe everything.

Because the game tracks global data\u2014like which scenes you&#8217;ve unlocked and which text you&#8217;ve already read\u2014simply starting a new game doesn&#8217;t wipe the slate clean. You might find yourself starting a &#8220;new&#8221; game only to realize the &#8220;Skip&#8221; button is still fast-forwarding through dialogue you supposedly haven&#8217;t seen yet.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Using the In-Game Menu to Restart My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">The standard &#8220;New Game&#8221; option is the safest way to restart the story, but it has limitations. When you select &#8220;New Game&#8221; from the main menu, the game creates a new instance of the story variables, but it keeps your global &#8220;persistent&#8221; data intact. This means the game still remembers that you&#8217;ve seen certain scenes, so the &#8220;Skip Unread Text&#8221; feature will still skip over dialogue you read in your previous playthrough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">If your goal is just to make different choices, this method is fine. But if you want a &#8220;virgin&#8221; experience where the game treats you like a brand-new player, the menu options won&#8217;t cut it. You need to perform a manual deletion of the system files.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Understanding the Ren&#8217;Py Persistent Data System<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">To understand why a simple reset doesn&#8217;t work, you need to know a bit about the engine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/en\/xmod-cheats\/my-best-friends-sister-trainers?cid=100166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister<\/em><\/a> runs on <a style=\"color: #58a6ff; text-decoration: underline dashed;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ren%27Py\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ren&#8217;Py<\/a>, which separates data into two buckets:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #b0b8c4; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"><strong>Save Slots:<\/strong> These are individual files (like <code>1-1-LT1.save<\/code>) that record your current location, inventory, and immediate choices. Deleting these only removes your ability to &#8220;Load&#8221; that specific moment.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"><strong>Persistent Data:<\/strong> This is a single global file named <code>persistent<\/code>. It stores the &#8220;meta&#8221; information: which endings you&#8217;ve achieved, which gallery images are unlocked, and crucially, a database of every line of text you have ever read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">When you want to <strong>My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister clear all data<\/strong>, you are essentially trying to destroy this <code>persistent<\/code> file.

This involves navigating to the AppData directory or the specific game folder depending on your operating system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Navigating to the AppData Folder on Windows<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">On Windows, the <strong>My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister save file location<\/strong> is typically buried in the Roaming AppData folder. You can access this quickly using the Run command.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">Press <strong>Windows Key + R<\/strong> on your keyboard, type the following command, and hit Enter:<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; max-width: 100%; margin: 10px 0;\"><code style=\"background: #000; color: #ff80ab; padding: 8px 12px; border-radius: 6px; display: block; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre;\">%APPDATA%\\RenPy\\<\/code><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">Look for a folder named <code>MyBestFriendsSister<\/code> or similarly named after the developer.

Look for a folder usually named <code>com.developername.mybestfriendssister<\/code>. Inside, you will find a <code>files\/saves<\/code> directory containing the same data structure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Deleting Save Data on Steam Deck (Linux)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">If you are playing on the <a style=\"color: #58a6ff; text-decoration: underline dashed;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steam_Deck\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Deck<\/a>, the file structure is different because it uses Linux (SteamOS). You cannot simply use the Windows shortcut. Instead, you need to switch to Desktop Mode and navigate to the compatibility folder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">The path usually looks like this:<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; max-width: 100%; margin: 10px 0;\"><code style=\"background: #000; color: #ff80ab; padding: 8px 12px; border-radius: 6px; display: block; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre;\">\/home\/deck\/.local\/share\/Steam\/steamapps\/compatdata\/[GAME_ID]\/pfx\/drive_c\/users\/steamuser\/AppData\/Roaming\/RenPy\/<\/code><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">You will need to find the specific Game ID for <em>My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister<\/em> (you can find this in the URL of the game&#8217;s Steam store page). Once inside, the deletion process is identical to Windows.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Which Files to Delete to Clear All Data<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">Once you are in the correct folder, you will see several files.

The intro sequence might take 20 minutes to read normally. With XMOD&#8217;s &#8220;Force Skip&#8221; or &#8220;Super Speed&#8221; features, you can compress this into 30 seconds. Toggle the speed multiplier to 10x, hold the skip key, and watch the text fly until you hit the first choice menu. This turns a tedious replay into a quick setup for your new route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">Additionally, if you reset because you were broke and couldn&#8217;t afford a specific gift for the sister character, using the &#8220;Max Money&#8221; cheat immediately after a reset allows you to play the game naturally but without the financial stress, ensuring you never miss a content gate again.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Unlocking Gallery Scenes Without Replaying<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">The biggest pain of a hard reset is losing your gallery. If you don&#8217;t want to manually replay every route just to see the artwork you already earned, XMOD can toggle the gallery unlock states directly. This lets you keep your &#8220;completionist&#8221; status while still enjoying a fresh narrative start.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"troubleshooting\" style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 1.6rem; margin-top: 80px; margin-bottom: 30px; border-left: 5px solid #e91e63; padding-left: 20px;\">Troubleshooting: My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister Reset Progress Issues<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">Sometimes, even after deleting files, the game might still load your old data or crash.

To fix this, try verifying the <a style=\"color: #58a6ff; text-decoration: underline dashed;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File_verification\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">game file integrity<\/a> through your launcher (Steam\/Epic), or simply reinstall the game completely.

The sync process can be aggressive. To permanently fix this:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"color: #b0b8c4; margin-left: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Disable Steam Cloud for the game.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Delete the local files in AppData.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Launch the game and start a new save.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Close the game.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Re-enable Steam Cloud.

The <code>game<\/code> folder contains the actual script and images. If you delete this, the game won&#8217;t launch. Always double-check that you are in the <code>%APPDATA%<\/code> folder or specifically the <code>saves<\/code> subdirectory.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e91e63; font-size: 1.25rem; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">Failing to Backup My Best Friend&#8217;s Sister Saves<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #b0b8c4;\">I cannot stress this enough: once you delete the <code>persistent<\/code> file, your gallery unlocks are gone forever unless you have a backup. Before hitting delete, simply rename the folder to <code>saves_backup<\/code> or copy it to your desktop.
