It really is a struggle out here LOL. My advice (if you want it) is to make sure you're building it for yourself (most important), share your progress with others, and take breaks when needed. Those tips helped me finaaaaaally complete a save.
Saaame lol. I become such a perfectionist and because we don't have the ability to add lots to an area, I need each one to be completely unique yet perfectly blends in with the surroundings and works with the lore and vibe of the world/families. As soon as I'm close to finishing a world, I see an idea out there or they add a new lot type that i want implement or feel like something is missing and end up scrapping or rebuilding parts of it. Also there are too many damn worlds, i wish we can disable a couple of them. I've been working on willow creek for like 3 years lol.
@danielkay5555 I really wish it was possible to start absolutely fresh, no lots, no households.. you can do that with mods but they end up breaking the game after a while
@tau-lll fr the sims 2 create a neighbours was perfect, especially with being able to add and completely customise a downtown district, commercial district and a university. It feels comprehensive and self contained. Meanwhile in the sims 4 you're limited by lot size, placement, surrounding environment and style of the world. And the worst part for me is that it doesn't feel completely until you do every world, yet I barely use most of the worlds we have and don't feel interested in building in their style. My dream feature is to have the ability to group certain worlds together and hide the rest. It would make the process of creating a savefile so much more accessible and cohesive.
Bro your Save Is My Go To Save Im very lazy when planning Sims 4 Vids, so when I want to use a world with established townies I use yours great video friend!
Yes, PLEASE make more videos on this. You are so creative and thoughtful, and your save file is the ONLY save file I've ever downloaded and managed to play in. I love the families and the builds and the stories. You are amazing!
What the heck? You are so kind! Thank you for trying out my save and loving it so :) And I definitely plan on making a few more episodes of this series! Is there anything you would be interested in hearing/ learning more about?
Great tips. i am giving my whole save a makeover world by world for my rotational game (which has like 20 families I play spread across multiple worlds, but are all connected in some way). I have neighborhood stories off, aging off, and everything I could turn off that would change familes/cause births/etc before I’m done. But how can you ‘freeze time’ with MCCC, not sure how to do that.
20 families??? Wow. Sounds fun! But also, wow lol And I probably should have used different phrasing, but when I say "freeze time", I mean in the sense that there are many settings in MCCC that lets you stop various aspects of progression. If you access MCCC through your sim's computer, you can turn off relationship culling, pregnancies, and any other events you don't want happening while you work on your save (which it sounds like you already did!)
This is so helpful!! I've always been planning to make a save file that revolves around low income and run down builds (for nostalgia) so i will try to make one :*
omg brazil reference we're truly everywhere even on the sims lol loved the tips once i'm able to play again i'll definitely use them to build my on save 💞
lovely video! ngl, your doodoo save inspired me to start cracking at my own save file, so this has been even more of a great help! what setting is it in mccc to freeze time/relationships and what not? is it the one to do with culling or something?
Thank you, and I'm so happy to hear that! What kind of save do you have in mind? (if you don't mind sharing) And yes, I'm referring to the relationship culling settings as well as a few others. You can find them by opening the MCCC menu through your sim's computer. They also have settings related to pregnancies, ghost culling, and many other things that might be useful. Sorry I didn't clarify or add more detailed explanations. I was planning on doing so in one of the next episodes. But if you have any questions, please let me know :D
@@coolpuppysims i dont mind at all! I'm sorta doing like, a next-gen, base save+. so, some npcs i like are still around and older, but its mostly a fresh start! I'm working from the blank save, so it's def a project that i want to put a lot of time into! right! i totally forgot about where to find those settings, my adhd gets so turned around in some mod menus lol. thanks again!
@@MegaSailorJupiter Oooh, I like it! Kind of reminds of the 10 Years Later save. Anyway, that's going to be so fun creating stories for the npcs' next chapter in life, plus a good way to liven up the game. Wishing you all the luck my friend!
@@2002narrie Woo! Hopefully you’ll find it helpful. And yes, I’m using Amoebae’s Hazy Days and Blueberryade (with minor tweaks) & Softerhaze’s Sunblind lighting mod!
I want a save file that doesn’t have any builds, but it’s focused on the neighborhoods being more lively. Example: cars on the side of the road, more decorated sidewalks, and street signs
Ah, so basically just a TOOL focused save? Honestly, that would be pretty cool! Adding little things like that to the surrounding world can really elevate it.
@ yes, that way I can add whatever builds I want without having to spend time deleting builds. I just want decorative and interactive objects that NPCs would mess with added to the neighborhoods.
@@jLachelle3 I totally get ya. And honestly, that seems to be a trend lately. A lot of people are adding interactive things around the neighborhood to make it feel more "open world". Such a smart move!
Girl, I am DEVASTATED for you 😭 But the bright side? You'll probably end up creating something better than the old version! (But dang... that's tough :///)
I want to create my own save file so bad, I’m good at making up scenario’s in my head but I suck at making male sims and building 😢😢 so I don’t know if it’s a realistic ambition for me
I'm always building saves and I always end up scrapping them 😭

@danielkay5555 yeah this is exactly it! Everything you said here is exactly what I go through

Ahh, I'm so happy to hear that! And yeah, that was the goal. Wanted this save to be something that you can just dive in to.
@@coolpuppysims it is because sims 4 has the worst world building and cross pack features out of all the sims games lol

Ah, so cool. Those are some of my favorite types of builds. Wishing you all the luck!

Let's gooo! lol
And awww, I'm happy to hear that. I hope you find them helpful🤓
thank u sm for the tips
You're very welcome! And aww, thanks! Glad you liked it :)
I can’t do it, I don’t have enough time to do it so I have respect for people who manage to build massive saves with lore and interesting sims.
It really is a lot of work. But who knows? You say you can't, but one day you may also get sucked down the wormhole of save files LOL

I just lost the blank save I had been working on half this year, since it got corrupted from the last update😭 Need the motivation to start over
