I Made a Save File Set 15 Years Into the Future!

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place, it's not really a mod so I wasn't sure where to put it!)

Kookablarn! That’s the name of my save file! (It’s also the name of a song on the Spooky station…)

The goal of the file was to liven up the game by giving the premade sims interesting storylines. It’s The Sims 4, but 15 years into the future. Premade sims are still around, they’re just a little older (many even married with kids)!

Some Features:
*Every family has a unique description, relationships, skills, jobs/promotions, sentiments, lifestyles, likes, and dislikes!
*Extended family trees. Many premades now have parents, and some of them are still alive!
*Fixed relationships such as Johnny Zest being a Landgraab.
*All Packs Required (Except My First Pet Stuff or Journey to Batuu, but I’ll never be getting those. Kits also not required.)
*No CC Required!

And much more! It can all be viewed and downloaded on the blog, along with some in-depth information on where the families are now after 15 years and some random notes and trivia! (I have no control and went too far with this, but I had fun!)

Link to the blog~

This is my first time doing something like this and I’m really nervous about it. I really had to fight with the game’s limitations to make it work, but I just hope I can make something enjoyable for everyone! I’m always open to questions, concerns or suggestions and I’m always working on making the file better.

    Sure!

    I'm not sure if I have the best pictures to show everything off since I didn't alter any builds, it's mostly sim and family-focused, but I updated the main post with pictures from the blog post.

    Oh hello, this looks great... and it looks like a lot of work. Thanks I'm going to try it out!
    I love that nearly all packs are required (except some recent ones).

    Oh, you have no idea! I started back in February and only finished last month! It was a fun little project I did for myself, but I really like the outcome and thought maybe others will, too! Thank you so much!

    Haha, you're welcome! And thank you! This project really made me appreciate the premades so much more!

    I know this is very soon, but I actually updated the file already! I've been working on the update for a while now, I just posted about the file to the forums kinda late. It's a very minor update with a few CAS changes and such, so feel free to skip it, but I also added a Ghost-less version of the save file to hopefully combat the game's culling system and also clear out some relationship panels.

    You can read more about it here on the blog!

    I just downloaded your save file, and this is exactly what I've been looking for to experiment with premades. I haven't even started playing yet, and I'm already excited. I love how you added the families from previous games. It all fits seamlessly. Thank you for this! Great job!

    Edit: I did notice several of the houses were empty, was this intentional? Other than that, everything is so well done. I love the added family members. My only issue is now I can't decide who to play first.

    Edit 2: Nevermind, the empty houses must have been a glitch on my end. It's fine now.

    Hello there! Aww, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it! I also have trouble deciding which family to play, too! :D

    I didn't fill every house because I wanted to leave room in case anyone wanted to add their own sims and I did leave Newcrest completely blank, so several sims (mostly parents) are in Manage Households. Um...but since you fixed it, maybe there were homes that should've been filled that sims somehow got kicked out of? Well, I'm glad it's fine now!

    I was moving some of the family members into their respective worlds and noticed it. Off the top of my head it was only one of the houses in Del Sol Valley. I just wanted to know if it was intentional or not. Either way, it's an awesome save and so detailed with the stories. Some of the sims you paired up surprised me but seem to be good matches. I love that you added family members. And this is all before I've chosen a household to play :D. I think I might eventually rotate between all of them but for now, I think I'll rotate through Willow Creek.

    Ahh, I see! Yeah, early on, I was really forcing some pairings because I wanted them to be connected to someone so when they die, they'll still show up in the family tree and won't be forgotten. I gave up around Windenburg because there wasn't enough sims, lol.
    Again, thank you so much! <3

    Heyyy, guess what? I updated the save file to version 2.0!

    I have Eco Lifestyle and Nifty Knitting now! I also made a few other changes like CAS, relationships, pets, etc. stuff! It's all detailed on the blog if you're interested!

    The next update should come fairly soon since I'm planning on getting Snowy Escape before Christmas.

    This is very cool! I never really got into the lore of the earlier sims games when I was playing the sims 3 back in the day, but recently I have been obsessed with reading up on it and it does make me sad that the sims 4 basically gave up on it. Do you need to own all of the expansion packs for this mod to work, and does it affect all of your saves or is it just it's own save file?

    Thank you! It's just a save file, so you put it in your saves folder and it'll appear! It doesn't affect other saves, but you should probably back up your saves just in case anything happens, technology can be strange lol. You don't need all of the packs, but I did mix assets all over the place, so if you don't have all packs, you'll just end up with some bald and naked sims, random trait replacements, etc.

    I am once again here to say that I updated the save file! It's now version 3.0!

    This one adds Snowy Escape and now I'm all caught up! There are some super minor changes, but I also gave Sentiments & Lifestyles where I saw fit. Now that I'm all caught up, I'm not really planning any updates unless we get game-changing patches, Expansions, or any issues that can't be ignored.

    I'll still be updating the tumblr with fun little info, trivia, and lore, though!

    Hellooo~ I updated the save file again! This time I gave everyone Likes & Dislikes! Here's the blog post for version 3.1!

    4350cd6ddd7af04a3e7d38865276d1084a7c5c30.jpg

    Snowy Escape is still the latest pack included. I'm not sure if I'll get Cottage Living on release, but whenever I do, I'll have Paranormal and Dream Home Decorator as well for the next file update. Also not sure if I'll get Throwback Fit Kit.
