Simkhira’s Small Town Save File is inspired by my little hometown in Southeast, USA. For this save, I wanted to create a world that caters to all of my favorite gameplay styles (country core, university core, legacy core, etc.) in a nostalgic way that made sense to me. Over the past couple of months, I have been able to transform Willow Creek into something that I am really proud of. I hope you all enjoy the lots, the backstories, and the small town political lore just as much as I do.
Please continue reading for more details and download information:
All of the Sims have relevant careers, skills, lifestyles, public reputations, likes and dislikes, gender preferences, romance preferences, turn ons and turn offs, relationship dynamics, defined walkstyles, and defined voices.
Disclaimer: I own all of the EP's, GP's, SP's, and Kits.
Custom Content (Included):
This save file contains 1GB worth of custom content. I have included these files in the download to save any hassle. If the game opens and says you are missing content, no you are not. I have play-tested this save file using only the files included and did not find any issues.
Required Mods (Included):
More Selectable Icons Mod by @zerbu
Willow Creek Clickable Mod by @awingedllama
Working Elevators Everywhere Mod by @littlemssam
21 Calendar Days Instead of 28 Mod by @littlemssam
The calendar mod allows the game to have 12 weeks in a “year”. So, each week is a “month” (i.e. Week 1 = January, Week 2 = February, etc.). The calendar holidays have been created according to this method.
Recommended Mods (Not Included):
707 Nature Replacement Mod by KHippie
Grannies Cookbook Mod by Littlebowbub
Disclaimer: The restaurant in Crawdad Quarter will still function without it - however, I have included some menu items from Grannies Cookbook.
Sim Spawn Overhaul Mod by Lotharihoe
NAP Policy Overhaul Mod by Kuttoe
How to Install Save Files:
Make a backup of your “Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves” folder.
Download the file, unzip, and place the file in your “Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves” folder.
If you already have a file with the same name, change the slot number to a number that you don’t have. (i.e. change Slot_00000000d.save to Slot_00000009d.save)
Once you open your game, you will see “Simkhira’s Small Town Save V1”. Open it!
Once opened, “Save As” to create a copy of the save file for your own gameplay.
If the game says that you are missing custom content, no you aren’t. I have double-checked.
Lastly, enjoy and have fun!
Inspiration:
I want to say thank you to all of the amazing save file creators who inspired me throughout this process. Some of my favorites include (but are not limited to) @folkling, @wolfxdreamersims, @coolpuppy12, @florwal, @awingedllama, and more.
I’ve finally finished transforming Newcrest, and it’s packed with everything your sims need to live their best lives! From cozy homes to vibrant nightlife, this world has it all:
Ridgeline Drive: A charming neighborhood filled with rowhouses and lovely homes, each with its own garden. Perfect for families or sims who love the outdoors.
Bridgeview: The bustling heart of Newcrest, designed as an extension of San Myshuno. It’s full of trendy bars and restaurants, making it the go-to spot for nightlife and dining.
Llama Lagoon: The most scenic area in Newcrest, offering breathtaking lake views with a city skyline backdrop. With subway access to San Myshuno, it’s ideal for sims who want a balance of peace and urban energy.
I’ve been working on creating Newcrest like this for a very long time, but because of my studies, it never really felt done in my mind. Now, I’ve decided to take advantage of that—it’s not perfect, and I don’t want to delay it any longer.
So, join me in building Newcrest! Add your own lots, furnish already-built apartments, and help make it ours!
Please tag me as the creator and use the tag #NewcrestCity for your creations and stories so that we can build it together.
Thank you so much, and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create!

The wonderful Ly family in Willow Creek was lovingly created for the save by @cowplant-snacks. All other neighbors were made by me, you can meet all of them here! Pets are from Pugowned, misc. townies from @cowplant-snacks and @simsontherope on the gallery.
There's lots of little details and things to explore, both around the world and relationship wise, so I'm excited to see what y'all uncover. Please feel free to @theneighborhoodsave in your posts or tag #theneighborhoodsave. I'd love to see what your sims are up to!
I also want to say thank you to anyone who's appreciated this creative journey with me. This save feels like home to me and y'all have supported me every step of the way!

The save is 100% CC free! Please note that I do have all expansions, packs, and kits (except for Castle Estate, Goth Galore + Crystal Creations.) For any items you don't own the game will try to auto find replacements for those items. The file is mostly blank this time around but does include the original EA builds in university and vacation type worlds (sans Granite Falls.)
Included is a folder of completely optional skin details/eyelashes for the neighbor sims. Thank you to @faaeish, @pyxiidis, @tamo-sim, and @landgraabbed! There are 4 pieces of CC I cannot include in the folder due to creator TOU. Please check the included "Read Me" file for more information.
All builds and families are up on the gallery (@sweetbeagaming) + tray files have been shared here.
If you've never used a save file and need help installing it, I highly recommend this tutorial by @leeleebsimming.
⚠️ A couple of disclaimers here due to some existing EA bugs. EDIT 4/25: Included in that link are directions on how to avoid TOOL'd items from disappearing. If you want to keep powerlines and such please check this out! ⚠️
Everything was tested to work around these, but I wanted to put them out there as an FYI.
TOU: Please don't reupload my save/builds/sims, claim as your own, and absolutely do not paywall them. Other than that feel free to build your own Neighborhood stories however you'd like!
i read of the blowtorch mod and i knew i had to get it so here we are: starting from (almost) zero, placing every tree and every street lamp and every telephone wire by hand—but it's a delight!
kind of overwhelming at first, seeing the empty fields around every neighbourhood, but a few deco buildings and a random backdrop do the trick and the world comes to life before you even know it!
photo 1: i started building a high school (loooooosely inspired by forks high school & blackwell academy). i first wanted it in magnolia promenade but i decided i was going to make magnolia the college district of willow creek so i built it here (and called it magnolia high school instead). i have yet to build the auditorium, but the shell is done & the interior is...started
photos 2 & 3: built a little more in this neighbourhood; it's the closest to be finished for now but i'm growing tired (already) of the bff's house/business...it fits less and less in the world in my opinion (probably the roofing) so i might do some little renovationssss
photos 4, 5 & 6: worked a little more on the strip, i hate building gyms but i had to and this one i don't hate too much i think (i hate them in real life too so that's probably why). i still love this little supermarket so much, i feel like i've been there before 🌚
