after more than a year of slowly reworking worlds, connecting stories, and getting distracted by tiny details, version 1.0 of my sims 4 save file is finally here.
before anything else, i really want to thank all the incredibly talented creators whose builds and households helped shape this save. every creator used is credited in the in-game info panels, and this project honestly would not exist without their work 💚.
this save file is built around small bits of lore, seasonal gameplay, familiar faces and worlds that feel a little more alive. i used the amazing worlds map template by @nocturne-vi as the foundation for the save and all the stories and relationships within it.
⟡ the highlighted worlds on the map are the ones currently part of v1. the greyed areas are the occult worlds, along with strangerville, which i do not plan to work on for future versions.
⟡ v1 spans across 11 worlds, including granite falls and selvadorada. pleasantview from ts2 somehow found its way into willow creek, along with a few familiar faces, messy relationships and old storylines 🤫.
⟡ the save is cc & mods free, except for the more selectable icons by zerbu and more holiday icons by littlemssam, both completely optional.
⟡ this save file is not pack restricted, since i own all the packs.
⟡ over 80 households with their own relationships, lore and everyday dynamics.
⟡ npc townies of all ages were added to help fill worlds, careers and gameplay roles.
⟡ a wide variety of lot types, including residential businesses, community spaces, vacation lots and custom venues across every world.
⟡ a fully reworked calendar with 23 holidays spread across the seasons, from cozy nights to school traditions and seasonal festivals.
⟡ 18 clubs to make worlds feel a little more social and alive, from study groups to basketball teams, karaoke nights and sims desperately trying to get their lives together.
⟡ this is definitely not the end of the project, and i already plan to continue working on v2 of the save, which will focus on ciudad enamorada, tomarang, tartosa, gibbi point, sulani and maybe even ondarion.
⟡ once the entire save is finished, i would also love to go back and spend more time adding realism to the worlds using t.o.o.l.
and finally... download here !
if you end up using the save, i would genuinely love to see it in your game or hear your thoughts about it. screenshots, gameplay posts or reviews are always very welcome ☁️
thank you for being here, and i hope your sims make a lot of questionable life decisions in this save 🩵
