The Tributes Save File V1.5

Update V1.5

Updated some lots again, because I found some more awesome builds. Britechester is now pretty much done as well. I will probably try to delete some sims for next update (if there will be one), but I find it very difficult although the game would run smoother with less sims. You can of course delete all those you want. I will also update all the image previews of the worlds at some point, because they have changed a bit. Hope you enjoy the update!​

Update V1.4

Ravenwood is pretty much done except for a few lots and then I corrected some lots here and there. I made a retail bike shop in Nordhaven and set up some other retail stores as well so you can jump right in if you want. There are plenty of lots for rags to riches gameplay, but you'll have to take away the money from the households because I had to use cheats to move sims in a lot. I have also replaced the three Get to Work lots and they work fine from initial playtesting.

Update V1.3

I said the last version was probably going to be the final, but I made some more updates. If you are a fan of RDR2 you will appreciate what you can find in Ravenwood and Chestnut Ridge. All lots that had construction sites on them now have proper buildings as well. The file size is getting pretty large so you will probably have to delete some sims. There are around 700 which is close to being unhealthy for the game to run smoothly even on a super good PC, because the game utilizes resources very poorly. There might be some more updates coming, but almost every lot has been replaced now except for some in Ravenwood and a few other places.

Update V1.2

Updated some lots and households and made room for some more epic builds that deserved to be in the save file. This will highly likely be the final version released because now I actually want to play the save file and enjoy the fruits of my work. The file size is also good so most of you hopefully will be able to play it. I hope you can enjoy it too! If not just delete it again lol.

Update V1.1

Been working tirelessly since the release yesterday to wrap things up. There are only few lots left that I have not replaced and I intend this to be the final version. Even Granite Falls and Selvadorada are fully renovated. I want to leave some lots for you to renovate yourself and Newcrest is intentionally left blank. The builds on especially 64x64 lots are not super heavy even though I could have put some insane builds there, but what is the point if you can't load the lot. I have only put builds there that did not freeze my own game when placing it. I really hope you will enjoy this save file. It was a crazy amount of work!

Info:

I've decided to share the save file I have been working on for a couple of weeks now (many sleepless nights). I call it The Tributes Save File as a way to appreciate all the great builders out there. All builds are publicly available in the gallery and not locked behind any paywalls or anything like that. There are builds by Simsefin, PlumbobKingdom, Honeymaysims, RGeeTect, Lilsimsie, a few by JT and Deli, KateEmerald and AvelineYT just to name a few of the top of my head. There are also many builds that do not have a lot of gallery downloads, but I find them to be gems. I love rundown and desolate buildings so you will see that a lot throughout the save file where it makes sense. Almost half of Willow Creek is rundown buildings for example and Forgotten Hollow is almost completely desolate except for the Vatore's mansion. Pack requirements are quite heavy since I have almost everything except Enchanted by Nature and some kits. I have tried to eliminate a lot of CC, but can't be completely avoided, because of the sims I have imported from my gallery. It's simply too much work to change every sim so you will probably see some missing hair and clothing. I have kept most of the sims that come with the packs and many of them have received makeovers. You can of course do what you want with the save and delete all sims and import your own. I will just let you explore the save file without saying too much and add some pictures of the map overview so you can see if you find it interesting. The save file is far from from done, but I feel it's valuable enough to share at this moment. If you don't have any of the required and recommended mods listed below your game may crash in worst case scenario, but most likely the lots will just revert to their original state or vanish. You may also get some last exceptions when loading a household or lot if some required and recommended mod is not installed so just be aware of that.

Requirements and Recommended:

Latest Basemental Universal Venue List (Required)

Basemental Drugs and Gangs (Recommended and sort of required, because I have created venues with this. Tupac is the leader of the 15th street gang if you want to play it and I also created a club with the gang members. I don't know if the data is stored in the save so you might have to set up the gang yourself)

MC Command Center - Goes without saying, but I mention it anyway to disable culling and control the population more thoroughly.

Danitysimmer - Homeless Shelter (Recommended)

Danitysimmer - Fashion Designer Mod (Recommended because I made a venue with this mod)

Grumpy - Active Daycare (Recommended and I also made a venue with this mod)

Grumpy - Streamlife (Recommended and I also made venues with this mod)

Simsefin - Get Makeovers (Recommended)

Cepzid's Arcade and Fitness Packs

Littlbowbub - Hunting and Foraging Mod (Recommended)

A ton of more stuff I could recommend to enhance your gameplay, but I will reserve that for another post maybe. Hope you enjoy the save file! Just put it in your saves folder and look for Tributes Save File in the Load Game list.
