simsaribear save file v1.0

after more than a year of slowly reworking worlds, connecting stories, and getting distracted by tiny details, version 1.0 of my sims 4 save file is finally here.

before anything else, i really want to thank all the incredibly talented creators whose builds and households helped shape this save. every creator used is credited in the in-game info panels, and this project honestly would not exist without their work 💚.

about the save file

this save file is built around small bits of lore, seasonal gameplay, familiar faces and worlds that feel a little more alive. i used the amazing worlds map template by @nocturne-vi as the foundation for the save and all the stories and relationships within it.

⟡ the highlighted worlds on the map are the ones currently part of v1. the greyed areas are the occult worlds, along with strangerville, which i do not plan to work on for future versions.

⟡ v1 spans across 11 worlds, including granite falls and selvadorada. pleasantview from ts2 somehow found its way into willow creek, along with a few familiar faces, messy relationships and old storylines 🤫.

⟡ the save is cc & mods free, except for the more selectable icons by zerbu and more holiday icons by littlemssam, both completely optional.

⟡ this save file is not pack restricted, since i own all the packs.

included in the save

⟡ over 80 households with their own relationships, lore and everyday dynamics.

⟡ npc townies of all ages were added to help fill worlds, careers and gameplay roles.

⟡ a wide variety of lot types, including residential businesses, community spaces, vacation lots and custom venues across every world.

⟡ a fully reworked calendar with 23 holidays spread across the seasons, from cozy nights to school traditions and seasonal festivals.

calendar note: this save was made with mccc game time speed set to 35, which is the recommended setting. you can still play at the default 25, but some festivals and scheduled events may become desynced.

⟡ 18 clubs to make worlds feel a little more social and alive, from study groups to basketball teams, karaoke nights and sims desperately trying to get their lives together.

final notes

⟡ this is definitely not the end of the project, and i already plan to continue working on v2 of the save, which will focus on ciudad enamorada, tomarang, tartosa, gibbi point, sulani and maybe even ondarion.

⟡ once the entire save is finished, i would also love to go back and spend more time adding realism to the worlds using t.o.o.l.

if you end up using the save, i would genuinely love to see it in your game or hear your thoughts about it. screenshots, gameplay posts or reviews are always very welcome ☁️

thank you for being here, and i hope your sims make a lot of questionable life decisions in this save 🩵
