creating a default save file

I'm not a builder, really... okay, I have a build with 18 downloads! ...but I'm creating a default save file for myself.  This was originally so I could avoid setting up all my holidays every single time I started a new save.

Now I've fallen down a rabbit hole of lore. I put a lot of my own Sims in starter homes (not all of them! but my Sims from other saves are "townies" in the starter save) and have spent time creating lore/relationships/given them a few skills/etc. I also corrected a few mild annoyances, like the Eco Lifestyle lesbian couples having one mother and one "household member" instead of Heather Knox and Olive having two mommies.  😉 And the fact that a lot of the base game townies don't know each other and their relationships don't necessarily match their bios (the Roomies weren't technically "friends," Bob and Eliza have a great relationship--or DID, in this starter save). I also added some wedding venues for my particular tradition and added toddler stuff and basketball courts and the like to most of the parks. I added restaurants or cafes to most worlds, too.

I've also left empty lots because I like empty lots? because sometimes there's just not something that my new weird household can afford that has enough bedrooms and then I have to build something and like an empty lot.

(I've also done some easter egg type things, like putting a pile of bones and a machete under the basement stairs in Von Windenburg Estate. ROTFL!)

So... what else should I do?  :D  AAAAAAAAAAA SO MUCH FUN!!!!
