Do you start a new game when a new pack comes out?

So with the release of the Jungle Adventure Game Pack tomorrow, I'm curious to know whether the majority of players create a new family when a new pack comes out, or continue with their current household.

    I usually play test the pack with a new family before bringing it into my main saves. :)

    Sometimes, it depends on the pack. I created a new save when City Living came out so I could have a chance to play a family in San Myshuno. When Parenting came out, I just incorporated it into my already existing family. For example.

    I start a new game to protect my old ones. I want to know what happens with new unplayed Sims before I trust my favourite Sims to go into the Jungle! I get fond of them and don't want them to get poisoned or die without my permission. :'(

    Continue with my save! i play rotational so there's always a family in one of my saves that i think would be perfect to explore the new pack. I love incorporating new stuff with already-existing narratives

    I’ve never started a new game when a new pack was released. I take the same family I’ve been playing with and see how the features in the new pack affect them, see how it improves their gameplay.

    I sometimes like to take my sim and his friends and plop them into a fresh game after a pack is released, just so I can take some time to rebuild my worlds and freshen things up. But it's not really because of the pack release, it's more that it's most convenient for me to do it after a pack release. Easier to find all the nice lots on the gallery using the new pack items in the first week after release before they all get lost in there.

    I start a new family, rather than game
  • the_greenplumbobthe_greenplumbob Posts: 6,105 Member
    The reason I asked was because I was considering starting a new family to try out Jungle Adventure, however I cannot even think about parting with my current family. I think I know how I'm going to incorporate this family into the pack now!

    It depends on if I can incorporate it into my current save. When City Living came out, my current household had a teenage son, so I had him move to the city and become a politician. When Cats and Dogs came out, it was during a hiatus, so I didn't start until weeks after it was released, and I didn't have a household anymore, so I made a new one.

    I start another save to test the pack, then when I have knowledge about the pack I get back to my main save.

    I stareted already a new save some weeks ago, but not because of the pack (didn’t even now they are going to release seasons lol). So no I will not start a new one. Currently I have 2 saves now. My main save with my story (which I am a little scared that the seasons will "destroy" my storytelling... but never mind I want seasons and I want it now!!!! <3 ) and my new save :).

    I don't usually start a new save, not even a new family. I'm too lazy to start over. xD

    I started playing a premade household when CL came out, but kept them in the same save as my existing game, planning to eventually join two families together. That's been done, and now San Myshuno is mostly used as a place for my sims to visit bu not to live.

    I continue because I never get them because I'm poor. Half of Seasons has been implemented into the Sims 4 base anyway.

    It depends if I find bugs. Sometimes I just pull my folder.

    I only play one save, the one I've been playing since the game launched. I do, however, start a new family with each new pack using the new CAS customizations, careers, etc. :)

    I usually make a test family to explore the new pack but end up getting stuck into the game and keep the family :p

    What I do is start a family and try stuff out, and I see some of the cool things that came with the pack. THEN, I use the pack with the Malone family. They’re my favorite! So I end up doing both.

    I make a new save and household in preparation for a new pack then test out and/or play around with the new pack in that save then decide I don't like that household and start all over on a new household in a new save.
