updated swift code of Rebeloper:

let BedroomFloorKey = "BedroomFloor"
let BedroomWallKey = "BedroomWall"
var bedroomFloorID: AnyObject = 101
var bedroomWallID: AnyObject = 101

 func saveGameData()
    {
        let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true) as NSArray
        let documentsDirectory = paths.objectAtIndex(0) as! NSString
        let path = documentsDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent("GameData.plist")
        let dict: NSMutableDictionary = ["XInitializerItem": "DoNotEverChangeMe"]

        //saving values
        dict.setObject(bedroomFloorID, forKey: BedroomFloorKey)
        dict.setObject(bedroomWallID, forKey: BedroomWallKey)
        //...
        //writing to GameData.plist
        dict.writeToFile(path, atomically: false)
        let resultDictionary = NSMutableDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
        print("Saved GameData.plist file is --> \(resultDictionary?.description)")

        self.loadGameData()

    }//eom


    func loadGameData() {
        // getting path to GameData.plist

        let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true) as NSArray
        let documentsDirectory = paths[0] as! NSString
        let path = documentsDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent("GameData.plist")

//        let path = documentsDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent("GameData.plist")
        let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()

        //check if file exists
        if(!fileManager.fileExistsAtPath(path))
        {
            // If it doesn't, copy it from the default file in the Bundle

            if let bundlePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("GameData", ofType: "plist")
            {
                let resultDictionary = NSMutableDictionary(contentsOfFile: bundlePath)
                print("Bundle GameData.plist file is --> \(resultDictionary?.description)")

                do
                {
                    try fileManager.copyItemAtPath(bundlePath, toPath: path)
                    print("copy")
                }
                catch _
                {
                    print("error failed loading data")
                }
            }
            else
            {
                print("GameData.plist not found. Please, make sure it is part of the bundle.")
            }
        }
        else
        {
            print("GameData.plist already exits at path.")
            // use this to delete file from documents directory
            //fileManager.removeItemAtPath(path, error: nil)
        }

        let resultDictionary = NSMutableDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
        print("Loaded GameData.plist file is --> \(resultDictionary?.description)")
        let myDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)

        if let dict = myDict {
            //loading values
            bedroomFloorID = dict.objectForKey(BedroomFloorKey)!
            bedroomWallID = dict.objectForKey(BedroomWallKey)!
            //...
        }
        else
        {
            print("WARNING: Couldn't create dictionary from GameData.plist! Default values will be used!")
        }
