Since the quarantine I've had a bit too much time on my hands and I've decided to work on making a save file. I'm trying to work through one section at a time, so right now I'm rebuilding the spice district in san myshuno. I will be making new sims and adding backstories as well, which I'm gonna write about more on my blog. I will be also improving the pre existing sims since EA is always lazy with establishing their skills and relationships.
Right now I own every pack and when the new ones come out I will return and update any old builds to include objects from new packs.
Currently complete:
- 18 Culpepper house
- 17 Culpepper house
- 19 Culpepper house
- 702 Zen View
If you have any ideas for the save file, like families, drama, build ideas/inspiration let me know below. I tend to struggle a bit more with community lots.

However I won't be doing any of that until the end. i want to do all the building first so that I can release an 'empty' version of the save file to make it easier for people to fill it entirely with their own sims, and then work on the actual characters. I've got some stories written down and ideas for builds and such, but I'm waiting until new packs come out because i'd like to include the knitting pack in my community/arts centre etc.

i get you! the knitting pack would be a great addition. i saw a really cool idea about building saves is to theme the towns. think about who will use what and where that might fit. idk if ur gunna stick to the OG way ea has laid out it's buildings or how u like to play, but i like roleplay areas since ea doesnt have very much functionality with public spaces. so things like, trailer diners in oasis springs, ritsy movie theaters/opera centers in the get famous world, business centers for skill building in san myshuno, warehouse dance clubs, definitely some updated club locations in general for get together xD
I do want my save to have all the packs intertwined, which is why I'm waiting for the release of eco lifestyle to see what the new world will look like so I can take it into account when planning my builds. So far I planned out that I want there to be a restaurant in spice district that only serves spicy food. I want to get rid of the gym from the rich area in san myshuno and instead build a retail store with very fancy expensive outfits to fit the vibe of the area, and maybe have it be owned by the landgraabs. I have some plans for most neighbourhoods with exception of newcrest since its completely blank and I would need a thematic starting point.

Spice district: 5/8
Fashion district: 2/6
I also did one in Newcrest but I'm not sure if I will actually end up using it, since I'm thinking of changing the idea for Newcrest once Eco lifestyle comes out. I want to finish off the spice and fashion areas first, but I'm waiting for eco lifestyle to see if I want to include any stuff from the new pack in the community lots.

and even then I'm undecided about how to deal with those empty apartments/houses. I will still get the basic stuff in, so it looks like a place you would move into, so like full kitchen/bathroom, but I don't know how much should I fill/leave empty.

I love this idea. also if you have mc command you can go into the settings on the computer and turn on child support option so it's done automatically by the game for the ease of play. But I will definitely add some petty divorced couple drama

At this point I've remade 11 apartments and it's getting a bit tiring. I might start making the families to fill up those places to give myself a break from building for a while. I will share like full backstories and stuff for them.

I love making sims and love to build, so feel free to take a look at my gallery. I haven't done much for the town you are working on now though.
I have been working on building houses for Oasis Springs and Willow Creek. Which is almost done now. I'll probably continue with another town after that.

I'll probably do the base game worlds at the very end, and I do have some specific ideas in mind like adding the alto family next to the landgraabs for some drama. my main concern after completing san myshuno will be newcrest because its completely empty so I have nothing to go off from and will need to make up everything from scratch. other than that I will probably work on del sol valley next because the builds in it are so ugly it should be illegal

On another note this was the only normal sized apartment in the fashion district, the rest of them are ridiculously big, so it will be a while before I post another one of those. wish me luck

I made this apartment for a diva/celebrity and I tried my best to combine a more classy look with more modern elements across the place. I even made the sim for this apartment so I could have photos of her in the living room. i made her based off Jessica rabbit cause I thought it would be fitting
