Save Files

My game broke a couple of patches ago and I've been trying to rebuild, but I'm getting discouraged and overwhelmed. My old neighborhood had 100% custom lots with lots of personalized homes and businesses for my sims. It was years in the making and it's going to take forever to rebuild that and I just want to play. I just finished redoing Henford-on-Bagley and I have no interest on doing any other world.

Can you point to save files that have houses and sims with stories? I own everything. I, personally, don't like maxis homes so it has to be custom homes and businesses.

    LilSimsie has a save file on her blog. I think it's only updated to Eco Living though, so it might not be what you want.

    What’s included?

    50 brand new lots
    Renovated versions of every EA community lot
    Renovated versions of the worst of the EA houses (the iconic ones remain!)
    78 new families (all with skills, careers, relationships, & stories)

    Thanks for these! I think I'll give lileimsie's a try since she includes families and history.

    @Mstybl95 , take a look in DevonBumpink's save files, there's almost one for each world. The strangerville one is gorgeous and have many intersting backgrounds and storylines! The link for them can be found in the description of each video in YouTube.

    Does he do one where they are all merged into one big world that has been completed or are they always separate? Only asking because I can't find his site or anything other than some youtube videos.

    I believe SweetieWright's Save file is also very popular and well done:

    I wish that was an option. I tried and I think corrupted all of the different files trying to fix it. The problem I had was some of my lots wouldn't load. It would look like it was loading and then be back at the world selection screen. And I would also get an error code. It happened right after the may or June patch.

    @Mstybl95 , sorry for the waiting, I'm having a busy week at work!

    I think that unfortunately there isn't a merged save file... but you can get each save file in the related video, e.g., the strangerville one that I mentioned can be grabed here: https://youtu.be/9BW2ribNdQk

    The archives are in a Google drive link, in the video description! You can have an overwiew of the contents in the video prior to download, to see if you like i

    I hope you enjoy it and have a nice time!

    I have two save files, one populated and one unpopulated. MiraculousGem's save file is pretty good as well. It's not updated to Cottage Living though. You can find that one here.

    Well I have a project that I've just started on that might be what you're looking for. The first save should be done shortly. No pledge needed. https://www.patreon.com/pocketstories

    Or check out my gallery pocketsim or the hastag #pocketstories for more information.

    I'm working on creating deep rich stories in safe files that are still open ended.
