    I really appreciate this. My wife and I have been working on a save file for a while. It is definitely work. But it's so fun playing with a unique world. I really wanted to thank you for mentioning the mods. It's killing me seeing randos walking around when I have a few hundred custom sims doing nothing.

    Great video! I am of two minds about save files. Sometimes I like starting with a completely blank save file, meaning someone has already deleted all the lots and people. This way I can focus on one or a few worlds and build everything from scratch. Emily Saves are really great. They can be downloaded based on what games you own. Such a lifesaver when you don’t own all of the packs!

    i'm so in love with your aesthetic and originality in your sims content! i was curious to if when you import new townies to your world do you have to manually assign them to a job (like a cafe on a community lot for example) or do they automatically start working?

  • @erin6692
    @erin6692 Před rokem +3

    I had so many save files I loved that I ended up starting to work on my own. It’s not really “my own” because I am using lots from multiple save files to make it exactly what I want. Lol. It’s so fun. I will never share it because it’s not mine, obviously, but my control freak self loves that I am making it exactly what I want.
    I appreciate the video because I’m wanting to add my own touches! Thank you! I subscribed.

    If you use the walk by overhaul from zero it has the same effect, that all sims stay in their home worlds. but you can add homeless sims to worlds too and Newcrest an magnolia springs are connected with willow creek and oasis springs. So they have townies too.

    I know this is an old video, but while searching on CZcams for save file info, yours came up first & I was so excited because you’re my favorite sims CZcamsr!
    Anyways. My only question is, can you move sim households into different save files? So for example, I have a family I’ve been playing with for a while and say I wanted to start a whole new save file so that I can create a better story line with them, would I be able to do so?
    Sorry if that doesn’t make sense 😩

  • @smileysnubz
    @smileysnubz Před rokem +1

    Hey Ash! Love your content, you really inspired me to get back into the game after a year long hiatus! Your aesthetics are amazing girl! One question, was surprised that you don’t use MC Dresser at all, or do you? How do you manage the offspring of the townies as they’ll spawn with random clothing and there are too many to edit manually? Personally I’ve found MC Dresser to be an incredible tool as I save all the outfits on the townies I’ve created / edited (I have about 150 outfits for each category now….took some time to compile that) and so if a next gen spawns (or a townie as I have a small % of townies allowed to spawn in my game using MCCC), they are wearing the pre-made clothes and so they look pretty great! Love to know what you think?
