Version 6.0!

Hi, everyone! I finally finished with v6.0 of the save file!

Version 6 includes Growing Together. I went around and gave every sim multiple character and conversation preferences, so hopefully it'll make for some interesting interactions! Some families also have family dynamics!

I didn't make any specific changes, so there's no cut this time. Let me know if you find any issues and I hope you enjoy~! Thanks for your patience!

Version 5.1!

Hey, y’all! Got a new update to the Kookablarn Save File for ya!

The file was done pretty soon after the release of High School Years, but the game’s glitches and issues are what held me back. Then, I started having personal doubts. But I was finally able to push through and finish it all!

There’s a lot of changes in this one because I also went through with removing all ghosts from the family trees except for select important family members, which means there’s no more need for a Ghost-less Version. However, you can find a list of the ghosts still in the file here! Most of the ghost’s graves can be found in a family member’s inventory.

Since I did a pretty big reset on the file, all of the minor build/buy changes I made have been erased. My plan is to slowly go through and do small renovations to the lots to make them fit the family. For now, all lots are untouched.

Version 5.1 includes My Wedding Stores, Werewolves, and High School Years. Also includes the Infants update. I also went around and added body hair, sexual preferences, and pronouns to various sims and made the usual CAS changes wherever I saw fit. 

As always, changes are detailed under the cut. Let me know if you find any issues and I hope you enjoy~! Thanks for your patience!

Keeping You Updated~

Hey!! Just letting you know that v6.0 is sooo close to being finished! I thought I was closer to being finished before, but then I forgot about the homeless sims 🤡 so I had to go through and give all of them Characteristic and Conversation preferences.

I'm finally done with that and all I have left is to update the sims from Growing Together to 15 years later and give a few sims Family Dynamics and we'll be golden! 😎

There was a bit of a delay on my side bc I had an important project with a deadline, but that's out of the way now so I'm just powering through this update so you can play with the file!

Hope you're all enjoying Horse Ranch if you have it! I don't have it yet, but I'll be getting it at some point so I can start working on v7.0, haha.

Hiii!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here and I am still working on the save file! I took some time to play and get to know Growing Together, and I had a blast with it! I’m ready to play with a fully complete v6.0!

I’m halfway done with the worlds now as I’ve been going through every sim and giving them Character and Conversation Preferences as well as face/body marks wherever I see fit and a few other CAS updates. Hoping to be done at least before Horse Ranch comes out!

I gotta admit, I just saw another YouTuber make a video about another save file very similar to mine, and it’s just so, so demotivating. The first one was 10 years and now this one is 15 years, the same as mine 🥲. I know I don’t have pretty builds, but I worked hard on these sims and I really love them!

I really appreciate those who have stuck around and enjoyed my file! You’re the ones who keep me going! 💖

Version 4.1!

Hello, hello! Today I bring you Version 4.1! It’s not a very big update, I only really changed Neighborhood Story Configurations for Every. Household. 

I’ll have a guide detailing it soon, but basically I just went through and turned off certain changes for certain families. For example, the Goth Family is not allowed to move out of their iconic home. Families where the parents are already Adults aren’t allowed to have babies. Lily and Victor Feng aren’t allowed to change careers. These are just some examples!

I’ve played around with the update a little. So far (with my changes) I had almost every homeless sim move in to a house on the second night, multiple unfortunate deaths (R.I.P. Mary-Sue 😔) and the Dreamer family adopted 2 kids. I also noticed Sims in relationships may get pregnant even if they aren’t living with their partner (Ilia Lobo got pregnant with Salim Benali). If some things seem too much, I may change them again.

And as always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! It’s really hard to keep track of so many Sims now, haha. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

Version 4.0!

It’s finally done!!!

This update was incredibly difficult! I ran into so many problems with the Henford-on-Bagley NPCs and faced many setbacks, but here’s hoping everything’s fixed and good to go!

Version 4.0 includes Paranormal, Dream Home Decorator, and Cottage Living! I’ve also made a few CAS changes to various sims to play around with the Spa Day Refresh!

As always, the changes will be detailed under the cut. Let me know if you find any issues and I hope you enjoy~!

V4.0 Changes:

✨Changed Robin Randle’s trait from Active to High Maintenance ✨Changed Dina Alto’s trait from Lazy to High Maintenance ✨Changed Shawn Alto’s name to Mateo. (I know, it’s a strange change haha) ✨Gave various Sims nails with the Spa Day Refresh. ✨Changed a few of Ilia Lobo’s outfits. ✨Added Agnes Crumplebottom (and Agatha, by extension) to the Goth Family Tree. (She replaced the old Agnes) ✨Gave Evelyn Huntley a new hairstyle. (One from Dream Home Decorator) ✨Re-enrolled Max Villareal, Lucas Munch, and Elsa Bjergsen into University! (There shouldn’t be anyone on probation or suspension anymore!)

Hello there! I’ve been working on this save file for a while now and it’s finally done! The goal of the file is to add a little more life to the premade sims! It’s set 15 years into the future, so it still has all the familiar faces, they’re just a little older (many now married with children!) Features: ✨Every family has a unique description and storyline, relationships, skills, jobs/promotions, sentiments & lifestyles (where applicable), likes & dislikes, and configured Neighborhood Stories. ✨Every family has been aged to the appropriate life stage, including how many days old they are. ✨Every sim has 1 reward trait added and some even have Parenthood traits! ✨Fixed relationships such as Johnny Zest being a Landgraab and Morgan and Siobhan Fyres being step-sisters. ✨Altered some sims to resemble their Sims 2 counterparts. ✨Brought in sims from past games like The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and MySims. ✨Plenty of pack integration, so all packs are required. (MFPS, JtB, and the Kits are not required, because I don’t have those packs and won’t be getting them.) ✨Custom holidays and clubs. ✨No lots have been rebuilt or added. Everything’s the same. Newcrest is still empty. The focus of the file was the sims and their relationships (also, I’m not a builder). ✨No CC required! You can read about the families, clubs, and other fun little notes and development on the blog! Feel free to shoot any questions, concerns or suggestions my way! This is my first time doing something like this and I had to fight with the game a bunch to make it work, so if there are any issues or typos or anything, let me know and I’ll do my best to fix it! ————————— Known Issues: *Because of the way the game is built, the culling will sometimes wipe all relationships except family members. *The Henford-on-Bagley NPCs (Creature Keeper, Mayor, etc.) like to respawn, despite me setting them to specific sims. My latest test play was fine, but Agnes and Agatha Crumplebottom may still do this. *Every Elder keeps rerolling the Fear of Death. No matter how many times I delete it, it keeps coming back. 😭 ————————— Download

Version 3.1!

It’s here! The Kookablarn Save File v3.1 is complete! This version adds Likes & Dislikes to every sim and some other CAS changes like taking advantage of the new hair colors, etc. The changes are detailed under the cut, but the Likes & Dislikes will be added to the profile pages!

I used at least 4 L&D points for everyone. I didn’t want to use too many, but a few sims did reach up to 16 points (they dislike a lot of things...). It made me really want hobbies that weren’t skill-based, like reading and watching TV, and also favorite food. Hopefully, the system will be expanded more in the future!

Looks like we’ll have a new Expansion pack coming very soon. Not sure if I’ll get it right away, but I’ll probably combine Paranormal, Dream Home Decorator, and the new Expansion for the 4.0 update. I still don’t have Paranormal or DHD. (Throwback Fit Kit is still up in the air).

As always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! There’s a lot of sims in the file now and it’s starting to get a little hard to manage, haha! Thanks, everyone, hope you enjoy!

V3.1 Changes:

✨Gave every sim (except ghosts, Father Winter, Tutorial Alex, and Baby Ariel) Likes and Dislikes. ✨Changed various sims’ outfits to match their favorite colors. Now everyone predominantly wears their favorite colors. The only exceptions are Diego Lobo (because he has a very...interesting style) and Anne Lee (just because). ✨Changed Hair Colors for various sims. It’s too many to list, but if anyone wants me to, I can do it! ✨Changed Voices for various sims. This is what I get for playing the game muted, some voices didn’t match at all! ✨Changed Luka Broke’s trait from Romantic to Outgoing. ✨Changed Siobhan Romeo’s hair style. ✨Gave tattoos to Morgan and Wolfgang Munch. ✨Gave Morgan Munch a nose ring.
