When running the python executable file convert.py in PowerShell on Windows 11 OS, I receive the following error when trying to run the script on my Palworld .sav file:

PS C:\Users\Michael\Documents\Palworld Save To JSON App> python convert.py .\UserOption.sav

**NOTE: I have copied my .sav file from the C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames path and placed it into my Palworld Save To JSON directory. I have also tried the direct path to where the original .sav file is located with the same error message.

You were pointing to the wrong file, UserOption.sav, what you're looking for is a subdirectory of your SteamID, a further subdirectory of the uuid for that save, and then a file called Level.sav, if that doesn't make sense just try running ls C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\*\*\Level.sav and it'll show you the full path
