    q9qwew  I mean change the name of "The Sims 25" to something else, so the game doesn't see the folder at all and creates a new one.  Then when you want to go back to the first save, you rename the new Sims 25 folder and change the first folder name back to "The Sims 25" to use it again.

    So you might end up with several folders that look like this:

    The Sims 25 Goth family
    The Sims 25 Newbie family
    The Sims 25 builds

    And whichever one you want to play at the moment, you rename to "The Sims 25" so it loads.

    q9qwew  This option does not exist by default.  However, you can make it happen if you're willing to do some work yourself.  Save data is stored here:

    C:\Users\your username\Saved Games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 25

    If you move or rename the Sims 25 folder, the game won't be able to read it, and your progress will be reset to zero.  So you could start an entirely new save, unconnected to your previous one.  And when you wanted to go back to your main save, you could move or rename the new Sims 25 folder, and restore the old one, or change its name back to "The Sims 25" (exactly that, nothing else in the name).

    The point is, you could have one folder per save, and rotate the folders in and out depending on which save you wanted to play.

    @puzzleaddict first of all thank you again, secondly for make sure I understood, from what you told me I should change the whole folder of the sims 1, but  keep the same name,to have the possibility to play a different save
