A save file including more than 400 Sims, including 250 played ones, around 120 lots and plenty of lore!
After all this time, I’m finally able to share the first version of my save! 🎉 This save is the result of years of playing the Sims 4, as some of the Sims you are seeing there were first created 10 years ago (and some of them have followed me since the Sims 1!). It all started with two worlds, Henford-On-Bagley and Tartosa and 50 Sims (as those worlds weren’t being built by my brother Rope), but it was then expanded to way more than that.
Please take the time to read all this post, as it gives some important informations on how to enjoy this save the best way 🤗
🐓 Pour mes amis francophones, vous pouvez télécharger la sauvegarde en français et lire toutes ces instructions en suivant ce lien.
🍵 This save is the result of years of work! If you’ve been enjoying it or any of my content, your support would mean so much! A small donation here could go a long way, especially as I navigate my career change. Thank you!
You are free to enjoy this save as you like, and if you post screenshots of you playing there, you can use the #DownInSaveLand on Bluesky to share your stories 🤩
You can modify anything you want for your personal use, but please, don’t share Lots and Sims from this save and claim it as your own. If you want to use those as a base for your creations, please ask me first.
Worlds and Lots
In order to keep the save reasonable in terms of size, I had to focus on a limited number of worlds. In those worlds, you will find lots built by me (and some builds based on original builds from @simsontherope, heavily or lightly edited) and the worlds outside the lots are customized using the TOOL mod.
Fully edited worlds: Henford-On-Bagley, Tartosa, Del Sol Valley, Sulani, Brindleton Bay, Nordheaven, Copperdale, Forgotten Hollow, Granite Falls, Selvadorada
GTW career lots are also included, as well as some other random lots in worlds not listed here. My goal was to be able to enjoy most of the pack's functionalities. Everything was playtested, and should be functional.
Sims
One of my favorite things is creating characters, therefore I have a lot of Sims living in this save, all created by me. None of the original premades are here, except some necessary townies (that I made over of course).
You might notice that some worlds include a lot of Sims (the record is Del Sol Valley with 19 played households) and some others don’t, and include more community lots. It comes from the way I started working on this save where I filled in only a few worlds at the start, but then expanded it.
All the Sims come with outfits (3 Everyday, 2 Hot Weather, 1 for the other categories, and a customized work outfit), additional traits, skills, careers, preferences, lifestyles and anything you can customize.
Lore
The most exciting part for me is the lore I created in the save file. You will be able to discover all the stories of those Sims in many ways!
Each household comes with a description, custom photos on their house for some of them, and even the books in their bookcases are customized.
Each Sim has many relationships (with family and romance dynamics, romantic satisfaction, sentiments), and milestones to tell their stories.
I can’t wait for you to explore all of that and their dynamics!
Requirements
I'm using all the packs (EP, GP, SP and Kits) and pre-order items that have been released up to May 2025. For event items, in case you haven't unlocked everything, these Lunar mods may help: here & here 😁
I also used the Plumbob lamps unlocked by owning Sims 3 packs in two builds, you can grab them here if needed (Alma Mater Reward and Your Name In Lights Reward). Thanks @diemilchschnitte !
Recommended mods
No mods are mandatory to discover the save, but I do have some recommended mods in order to enjoy the save to its fullest.
My mods:
Overall, the whole save has been built and designed to be used with all my mods. But some are more important than others if you want to get the most out of the save (but again, nothing compulsory).
Multipurpose lots (🪅 Multi-Purpose Lot Traits, 🛒 Functional Registers, 🗝️ Rent a Room): I'm using the three mods on this page to add functionality to my lots, particularly residential rentals. If you don't take the ‘’Rent a Room‘’ mod, some doors in community plots may be locked (mainly hotel rooms). You can just put the doors back in buy mode to unlock them.
🧲 Improved Turn-On & Turn-Offs: I used this mod to set these turn-on and turn-offs, if you don't have it, the Sims might just have some weird preferences on other Sims' outfit colours.
👔 No Outfit Change When Promoted: I've spent some time defining the work outfits for all the Sims, it would be a shame to have an ugly outfit by default if you don't use this mod! The other mods on this page are also useful for limiting inconvenience and regulating visitors on lots.
🚷 No Townie Generation and Relaxed Filters: The save includes all the necessary NPCs and Townies if you use this one, it will prevent the generation of new Sims completely (there are already more than enough Sims in this save!)
🧑🤝🧑 Interact in Tight Spaces: As my lots are cluttered and are in general small, it makes Sims interacting in them way better.
Other creators:
More Selectable Icons - Zerbu: I'm using it for club icons, but as the mod can make the game lag, and I'm only using it for clubs, you can download here a limited version, which only keeps a small selection for clubs (and if you have a mod to add small business icons, it's compatible).
Milestones Expanded - Lumpinou: Useful if you want a more complete view of my Sims' milestones, you might just lose some information if you don't use it.
TOOL - TwistedMexi: It's only useful because it includes a fix that ensures items placed in the world are not deleted when you load a residential rental.
MCCC - Deaderpool or any other mod that prevents Sims from culling, because there are a lot of them in my save, and the game might remove them.
Visual mods:
Eye replacement : If you don’t have ones, those ones are great
Sunblind : Make the outdoor lightning way better
Out of the dark : Fixes the blue light in dark spaces
Mods for the save:
Those are some mods that I created specifically for this save file.
Open World: another very optional mod, especially if you don't have a very powerful PC, but as I've added extra stalls, bars and other stuff to certain parts of the worlds, it makes the worlds more lively. Once again, there's no risk if you don't remove it on another save, you'll just get NPCs appearing without much to do.
World Sorter: this mod just lets you sort the worlds in the selection screen so that the worlds I've modified appear first.

With all of that said, I think there is nothing more to add, so enjoy!
What pisses me off the most about there being early access content for paralives is the fact that it’s an INDIE GAME. it’s not a multi million dollar company like EA. It’s an early access indie game and some of you are so fucking greedy for cash that you wanna profit off of it? We already have to deal with this shit in the sims like the community is fucking infested with it and now you wanna do this to paralives when they literally told us that we’d always be getting updates for free???? Loser behaviour. You’re a loser
It’s still an early WIP, but I just can’t hide my excitement for this hair base! There’s still a lot of work to do to adapt it to bright colors, but the base already looks nice
Ok, you guys know damn well I'm anti-gatekeeping resources and anti-cc-creator-competitions-to-see-who's-better-at-playing-digital-play-Doh. AND ABOUT THAT, I found out about MESH REPAIR TOOLS by SINEWAVE. It's a FREE add-on for blender. It does A LOT of things, but do you know what it also can do? DECIMATE MESHES BETTER THAN BLENDER.
Before (taken on sims4studio):
After (taken on blender):
All of this with two clicks on the "Reduce" button. Yes I'm in an awe but can you really blame me?? The mesh looks exactly THE SAME. I don't need to fix wonky UVs or replace textures. It does everything PERFECTLY.

While working on some Sims 2 > Sims 4 conversions, I found this deco wash basin by Parsimonious, part of their "Monte Carlo" bedroom set, and fell in love with it!
So, once again, with the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin", I have made this a functioning wash basin for The Sims 4!
This basin functions as a sink - you can brush your teeth, wash your hands, shave your face; as well as take a "sponge bath" OFF THE GRID.
I have added the "Sponge Bath" interaction by connecting the basin with Cepzid's "Sponge Bath at Sink" Mod - so it is required in order for you to wash the body.
There's five different porcelain colours, each with five different towel colours:
I just love the texture of the light coloured ones; in case you aren't aware, there can only be one "normal map" per .package file - the normal map adds extra 3D texture in game; so, even though the details aren't coloured, you can still see outlines, like it has been made a part of the porcelain. Very beautiful!!!
Originally I had just done the top four colours, then realised I also HAD to do a blue porcelain as well.
The basin slots onto any surface, so you can place it on a counter; a table; a dresser etc. HOWEVER, annoyingly, the animation location can't be changed - so in some instances the sim's hand will go through the bowl itself (If anyone knows if I can actually change this, please reach out!!!).
Just like my Functional Victorian Washstand, to make all this work, you need:
The file included in this post
XML InjectorSponge Bath Mod
And, of course, if you want to shave your face, you can now use my Automatic Beards mod - fully base game compatible.

And that's a wrap on this year's annual Pride lookbook!
I hope you guys enjoyed this whimsical departure from my usual Pride lookbooks, I just love high fantasy and I'm really excited about the new EP. This year I did something different and released each of the gals one by one, but it's so much fun seeing them all together in their little rainbow themed gang. I realise my Pride lookbooks are a bit of annual silliness, but in all sincerity I want y'all to know that I fully support all my LGBTQIA+ simmers (and not simmers) out there. Now more than ever it's important for straight, cis people to stand side by side with those most affected by hateful bigotry and legislation that seeks to punish them for doing nothing more than existing. I have and will ALWAYS have your back.
You can check out each fairy, including all CC links and a little bio on each, down below.
the bastardization of the sims 4 cc tags here on simblr has gotten so bad that i'm using fucking google and pinterest now to find stuff or i'm crossing my fingers that the good stuff magically appears on my dash when i happen to be scrolling through. 97% of simblr uses cc, that's basically all of us.
it's more or less agreed upon that those tags (sims 4 cc, ts4 cc and so on) are predominantly for actual cc creators or cc finds blogs to use to make cc-hunting easier on tumblr. using those tags on gameplay/edits/cas posts is causing this to be a pain in the ass because the tags then get flooded with posts that don't really belong there.
please stop using cc tags when its absolutely not necessary. it won't help with engagement on your posts like personally it actually makes me want to like and reblog them less. as i said... almost all of us use cc. pls stop ty
PLEASE put your name in your filename. One, someone will have a clue who it's by when they go to find more by you or to finally organize their Mods folder. Two, you're less likely to end up with the exact same filename as another creator.
PLEASE put your name FIRST in your filename. Alphabetization is super useful. It's less useful to alphabetize by the cute name you gave that hair or set of chairs.
PLEASE, for the love of all things Sims, consider not only using your initials. My Mods folder now has three different creators whose files start "MM". There might be even more of you MM's out there.
It’s finally here! Well, the first part of it—because let’s be real, this beast of a project is too massive to drop all at once ( unless we suddenly gain the ability to compress/expand time ) ;)
For now, we’re rolling out the first wave of k-707, covering :
- Base Game/Seasons ( Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest )
- Get to Work ( Magnolia Promenade )
- Outdoor Retreat ( Granite Falls )
- Vampires ( Forgotten Hollow )
- Cottage Living ( Henford-on-Bagley )
- High School Years ( Copperdale )
- Life & Death ( Ravenwood )
Yes, we know ... you want more—but trust us, this is already a lot. The rest will come soon-ish ( don’t ask for dates, we’re not EA ) and as we say again and again, this is a work in progress, time for us to understand some more things with blender managing vertex painting and so on ;)
For everything related to instructions, how-to and so on, see the previous post or the "Download Page" of the k-707 on our website.
We replaced, reshaped, optimized, and obsessed over hundreds of trees and plants. Everything is optimized for directX11 ... Now, in theory, all should move right, look right, and fit right :D If you encounter a purple question mark on this new release, just send us a message. We'll see this together :)
Do not be surprised, some trees ( very very few ) are not yet modified ( -> I think about topiaries ) and some others have been fully replaced ( such as the ugly majestic and royal palms in base game )
Never forget this is still a work in progress and some changes will be done later ;)
As soon as we do some minor modifications and checks, we'll release a SECOND wave ( which should be very soon indeed )
Later ( End of February ) a THIRD and final wave will be released ...
Installation & Warnings
Each Expansion has 2 folders : one for plants, one for trees
The base game is split into 4 folders : 2 lots + 2 debug
Expansions with minimal greenery ( City Living, University, Get2Work ) are in single folder named k-hippie-k707-multi-greeny-2025
Do NOT mess with the folder structure unless you love chaos. If you merge files and something breaks, that’s on you. We won’t be able to troubleshoot Frankenstein mods ... More information on our website or into the previous post ;)
Final Notes
K-707 isn’t perfect ( yet ) :D We’re still tweaking, improving, and fixing things. We are aware some textures and styles need to be refined/modified. It will be done in time. But this is already a massive upgrade. So, enjoy your lusher, greener, better-integrated Sims world—and if you spot a tree acting weird, just pretend it’s haunted until we fix the green :D
Remember the k-mods are still and always free. Thanks to freely give a little something if you can. This is a massive piece of work and so, a massive piece of time ;)

In the actual spirit of giving, here are some CC makers doing free advent calendars this year:
@simmireen does a pose calender every year!!
@welcometowillowsworld is also sharing daily poses!
@simmisstrait has a pose calender too!
@someone-elsa is sharing deco Sims!
And then we have @jeffsshrimpmas , which I feel is such a wonderful example of the Sims community spirit. Our wonderful @surely-sims often delights us with Shrimpmas every year, but this year she decided to take a well-deserved break and some incredible creators willingly offered up their souls to Jeff and stepped in to help make Shrimpmas happen anyway. I'm a Grinch but this warms even my cold dead heart.
Plus a small reminder of the list of free posemakers I wrote. Unfortunately I have already seen holiday poses paywalled until after the holidays are over, so save your money (or send it to a free maker's Ko-Fi?) and check this list out instead!
Feel free to add your own advent calenders on so long as they're free and easy to access! I know I haven't got everyone here.
