Pack Selection is a new feature allowing you to customize your experience when starting a new save based on the stories you want to tell and the experiences you want to build. This helps free up resources on your PC, Mac, or consoles without needing to uninstall packs you don't currently use. Please note that once you've started a save, removing packs may affect the save itself, so this feature is best utilized when creating new saves to optimize performance.

Disabling packs will remove pack-specific content like hair, clothing, objects, and gameplay functions. Re-enabling will restore this content.

 

Step-by-Step Guide

Using Pack Selection

1. Access Game Options:

• From the main menu, select the three dots (•••) at the top right, to open the Game Options menu.
  
  

2. Select “Pack Selection”:

• Navigate and select the “Pack Selection” menu.
  
  

 

3. Choose Packs:

• View all your owned Packs and select which Packs you want to load or unload.
  Simply select which Packs you would like to load (indicated with a checkmark) and which you would like to unload (No checkmark).
  
  

 

4. Confirm Selections:

• Press the checkmark button at the bottom of the screen to confirm your selections.
  
  

Note: Loading times may vary based on the number of packs selected.

- Important Considerations  -

• Disabling packs will remove pack-specific content like hair, clothing, objects, and gameplay functions. Re-enabling will restore this content.
  
  
• Warning: Disabling pack content may impact your save file. Please back up your saves before proceeding.
  
  Despite thorough testing, the diverse range of hardware configurations, legacy gameplay, pack combinations, CAS, B/B items, and pack-specific traits create complex game states. These complexities may impact player saves, so we always recommend backing up your save files to ensure your game data is protected.
  
  
• Mods: 3rd party mods and Custom Content (CC) is not available from the Pack Selection menu. It is recommended to disable mods before proceeding.

 

Options for Loading a Game with Missing Content

Loading a save with missing content on PC will show whether the necessary Packs are loaded, indicated by the Pack icons next to "Required Packs."

To restore missing content, access the Pack Selection menu, choose and load the necessary Packs. 

Additionally, when loading a game with missing content, several options are available for you to choose from:

 

1. Play Save with Missing Content:

• Continue playing your current save file without the missing content.
• Note: Items such as clothing, objects, worlds, and gameplay functions will be unavailable with this option. 

 

2. Play a New Copied Save: (PC/Mac Only)

• Create and play a new save file with missing content. This save will be labeled with "copy_" in the name.
• Note: Items, clothing, worlds, etc. from missing packs are unavailable.
• This option ensures your original save file remains unchanged.
  
  

3. Add Missing Content:

• Return to the Pack Selection menu to load the missing Packs.
  The missing Packs will be pre-selected. Confirm to load them.
