I’m so confused on why it’s not saving the folder, if you know why it’s not let me know

local dataModule = {}

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("Testing")

		Coins = 0,
		SkinsInventory = {}
	}

		coins.Value = sessionData[key]["Coins"]
	end
	if sessionData[key]["SkinsInventory"] then

		end
	end

	end
end

		until tries == 3 or success
		if not success then
			print("An error has occurred with saving the player data!")
			warn(err)

WDYM by “not saving the folder”, which folder? Not saving how: the data? The folder itself is not created? Not replicating to the client? What’s the actual issue? Why are you making folders under the Player object in the first place?
