welcome to finnington! famed for its nectar, its music scene, and a rich local history of things catching fire, blowing up, or singing when they shouldn't. half the wharf burned down once, but it's been rebuilt better than ever! the waterfall's alleged madness-inducing melody remains unconfirmed, and ever since a certain scientist's experiment leveled the old town, there's been a tree in the square that nobody wants to talk about. sure, one mayor held office for a suspiciously long time, but that's all behind us now. new residents arrive every day, chasing their dreams. there's never been a better time to move in!
this is a save file for armiel's beautiful finnington, which you can download here.
my version of finnington comes populated with every townie having their unique skills, jobs and relationships based on their personalities. there is also a little tomb puzzle that requires exploring the town a bit.
download information

(i own outdoor living, high-end loft, fast lane, town life and master suite stuff, but the save should open fine without them.) included cc: awesims’s cornices jynx’s rabbithole rugs gosik & inge’s half landing cottage stairs not included cc: horusmenhosetix’s beetle eye contacts pixelswirl’s orchard skin blend defaults these are for the townies, but the save works fine without them, so they can be safely skipped.

i've been playtesting this save for a while. my game never lags unless i have the wild horse issue (explained under the cut). some slowness in the first few in-game hours of the day is normal, since that's when the game assigns NPCs and such. it usually clears up around the time the university mascot shows up at your door.
more information and pictures under the cut!
