I can get to the save but I don't see a way to delete it.

Next time you go to save just select the save you don't want and your current save will take over.
Ahh that's too bad. I have 2 saves and was wanting to get rid of 1. Thanks for the info.
Ended up having to delete the save file from within the manage game options. Lost everything and had to start again. Now i'm careful not to create news saves.
> Yes this game really needs a way to delete save files. I had a few save not realising you only need one save file for all families and worlds. It was too confusing have so many saves for basically the same worlds.
Does that mean that if I want to play another family in another world (Let's say Oasis Springs), I can overwrite the same save that I was playing before (Newcrest)?

Yes it does. The one save covers all worlds. As long as you don't select the new game option you can play all households in all worlds under a single save and the world selection screen will tell you how many played households are in each world

That's great! Thanks for letting me know.
> Is it possible to have more than one household? Because my Sim is going to move out of his parents' house soon, but I still want them there and don't want to lose them like Sims 3.
Yes. You can have more than one household. I have played with 2 different households in the same world. You don't have to create a new save either (as explained in the previous post).
I Am taking Don't make a New Save away from this for the time being.
Clarifying; there is only one save, but you can have multiple families in the same household (but still separate?).
I dunno. Was hoping for two kinds of save types. One where you could have just one family in the neighborhood (like where I was clarifying), and another where you could make multiple families who not only are part of the same world/neighborhood, but can interact.
That's one thing you couldn't do with Sims 3 (on console atleast) that I thought would've been neat. I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd want their created families to be part of the same world/neighborhood simultaneously.
Maybe take saved families, and replace specific existing households, so you have completely new (FAMILIAR?) neighbors with new households.
Hope I made Myself clear, I'm not entirely sure if I was. :*
You could say each save is its own universe.
Each save contains all households in all worlds. All your different households in the same save can interact with eachother even if they are on different worlds.
All you then need to do is overwrite the same save every time you save.
If you want all your families to share the same save then you must never select the New game option. Just click continue then you can create new families and sims on the neighbourhood screen.
If you want just one family in a neighbourhood then you just need to give it it's own save after creating a new game although not sure why you would want to do that

Cool. Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated.
Like keep saves in Save 1 with it's age settings as default, but Save 2 aging is Long Lived and people you don't play don't age (or age at same rate preferably).
Assuming the latter, but thought I'd ask.
Aging is by save I believe.

Better let @SimGuruNick know.
Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Delete > The Sims 4
Then it brings up a screen with all your save files, you click on whichever ones you want to delete, then delete them. Hope this helped.
> My problem is this, When I go to my library at PS4 console, I can delete sims that I've created. But when I shut the game and restart, the sims come back. I always have to delete them because they are too many, and every time I start a game, it shaves another at the library, how can I delete them forever?
I've had the same problem since day one. Been trying to solve this issue and even created a thread at EA's Answers HQ, but so far I've had no luck. I don't want to delete the save, I just want to be able to delete permanently from the library any households I have created.
