    Saving Lots in Sims 4... How?

    TheEnchantressTheEnchantress Posts: 7 New Member
    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    So I build a house/lot in Sims 4 and I want to use this house in a new game, how do I save this lot to my library (or wherever it goes) in order to place it in a new game (and how do you bulldoze)?

    Thank you.

      Go into build/buy mode, look up at the top middle of the screen, one of the buttons allows you to save it to your library (the third button from the right).

      "Bulldozing" I believe you can do from the manage world's screen (hit escape, select manage worlds). I might be misremembering that one though.

      Thank you, I managed to save the lot to library with your instructions. But i cannot find the option to bulldoze from Manage Worlds, or anything else. Where could it be lol.

      Thank you very much for your help.

      EDIT: I figured it out. Its in Build Mode, under the Lot Info button "Middle top" and theres a bulldoze button there.

      @TheEnchantress, you're right, I don't see the bulldozer anywhere either. I have not used bulldoze on any lots; just gone into them and used the sledgehammer to take out everything I didn't want (The entire house can be removed at once, which only leaves landscaping behind).

      I guess that's how they want us to do it; I could have sworn I did see a button that looked like a bulldozer despite never using it...but I just looked (I'm playing right now) and it seems I am mistaken.

      .. The Bulldozer button is available in the Lot-Info section of the Build Mode screen

      You have to change lot type before saving.
      It's under the Information Button top left.

      Sorry if we are answering the same question again:

      I am transferring comps, so I’ll have to DL the game again to the new comp...if I save the Lot I’m bldg, will it still transfer by saving it to the Library? I just figured I’d have to upload it to the community and DL to my new game from there.

      TIA for your help!!!

      The same way you save a house. It's how you save any lot into your library.

      Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]

      @Itsme_Andrea Hi! Save the lot to your Library and when you transfer computers, copy not only your Saves folder over but also your Tray folder. The Tray folder = your Library.

      How do you save a house but also show what packs were used in the build so others know? Like when it shows the paw print for pets or the rain cloud for seasons and such. Thank you in advance for any help.

      @Incalescene The game should do that automatically. The icons aren't visible if you view the build from the what's new column, but checking it through your library or searching from the gallery they should be there.

      Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I just kinda did my first house ever and I used rooms that other people made. (I gave them credit.) I made some changes and added my own touches and I really liked what I ended up with for my first ever house not made fully by someone else. Wanted to share it.

      Go into the Manage Town; enter the lot using the build/edit criss-cross tools (hammer and a wrench, I think it is) and once there you can upload the lot same as one you own. Hope this helps. :)
