How many saves can console have?

I was just wondering if anyone could confirm for me how many saves we can have on console? I saw someone before say it was five, but I'm not sure if that's true. I currently only have one save I've been playing, but I want to make some more soon and might have to plan around the limit, if that's true.

Darn, that's what I was afraid of

not for me. perfectly happy playing one save at a time. my other sims are still in the houses I left them in
But honestly its not really a suprise to me playing it on console.
The thing for me is that I tend to switch between saves a lot when I'm bored, and I had quite a few in mind to do. Different challenges like 100 Baby and Legacy and things like that. This is why I'm saving to buy a new computer on to play there lol.

I mean I am constantly playing sims in different household building up
At A time 3 different skills per sim, if not more.
And I have up to 4 sims in each
With
5 households I created and updated
Building up careers
Friendships
Family tree
Toddlers and kids included
Not to mentions I keep adding to there house in build and buy.
With all this I am constantly overwriting my saves.
I might bey playing one then switching between the other family's.
I just keep overwrite saves with each family as and when I play them and want to save.
The way they have designed the towns. I am glad that I can move freely from town to town never needing to have to make
Multiple saves than the past games.
I just alter the setting on unplayed family's.
You can do most you listed above still simply by playing from household to household in the same save tho?
Yeah if you feel you will be happier with the PC version for more saves
then yes might be better for you. I just
Feel you can do all that in even one save even tho, we get 5 that I feel is more than enough to do what you do in the game its a shame if you can't work around.
I miss CC/mods and the gallery so much and will always have to go back to PC if I want to use them.
But saves are fine.

My cousin and I were wondering if it's possible to put our saved files on a USB drive and share our characters and builds. I'm a builder, he is not. I want to give him the properties I made. And since for whatever reason console games don't have the community downloads. Looking for a work around.
That's actually an interesting thought. I can't say for sure whether it'd work, but I think it'd be worth trying. My advice? Make sure you keep an extra copy of your saves somewhere first before trying, either on a second USB drive or something like that. Because I'm not sure if sharing saves between games like that could mess up any ones you already have, if that makes sense? If you Google how to put saves onto a USB drive from whatever console you're using, it should come up.
Also, you have to have a certain amount of posts until you become a Member and can make your own topics. You'll have to keep hijacking others in the meantime :P

Yeah hopefully it works. I love building! But kinda pointless when nobody to share with ha
why is that?
for me I like to add some of my own sims and lots to the town during my current save.
If I don't I will have nothing but spawned townies and EA familys and lots
There never used to be many kids or toddlers before i started doing this.
do you like to use your own lots and familys in your town?
of course if that's what works best for you thats all that matters.
I have decided to switch to ps4 myself. as I find they did a pretty good port this time around.
but if they don't get up some form of gallery I might end up switing back.
What are your fears if you attemp it only when you return to PC?
its useful to saves them to use or change later.
well hopefully we will get some news on a studio or gallery.
i could build and show lots for fun i guess simply by taking screenshots.
same goes for sims and created rooms.
or make avitars
I don't really add my own things when I play, I just let the game generate townies. I never really go in and make anyone have kids (except for my 100 Baby Challenge I did.) I like to build but I like to download lots as well, it's just easier. Plus I miss having CC and mods, it's getting boring with all my Sims wearing the same things as each other v.v
And do you mean my fears of rotational gameplay? I don't have any, I just think it'll be easier on PC.

Unfortunately content can’t be transferred from PC to console. You will have to rebuild your lots and Sims using the console tools.
Don't know about Xbox One since I do not have Sims 4 on Xbox one.
> As of the big update you can delete save just go to your main menu and hit load and hover over the one you want to delete and hit x on XBox one and square I think whatever is your side left shape is
On ps4 you hit triangle to delete square to rename the file.
Yes and it's also y to delete on xbox cause y is were triangle is on ps4 hahs
