Back to your saved games?

I go back to old saves when I need a picture from the time I played that generation, or just for old time’s sake. But more importantly: I return to old saves whenever I get a bug or glitch and then old saves are lifesavers. That’s not really old saves though, obviously ;) That concerns a few saves back at most.

I don't. I always say I'm going to then I just don't lol.

I usually go back a save if something didn't go to plan.

It depends. Most of the time I just need a break and it may take me a few months but I do go back to that save. Like my Carp family/LEPacy challenge is almost 9 generations in. I don't intend on dumping that save.

Oh yes, lots. It's so much fun to load up an old save that I don't even remember and see what was going on. It's like seeing old friends!

I have several stories that I go back to. They are just on hold while I start a new story. So, yes, I go back to old saves all the time.
I have one family saved in a porter file that I plan to play again when I can add all my stuff back into a new puter, whenever that might be. :)

I never really need to go back to backup saves. The only time I faced corruption in a save, I was able to move the family using the phone to another neighborhood, so the backup save wasn't needed.

On the other hand, saves that have other families/towns I keep coming back, because each of them is kinda special. I have only two saves that I haven't played in years, from the time the game was new and I didn't even have expansions. One is the save of my simself. Currently, I'm playing with aging and story progression (all other saves, except for the one with my simself and the current one have these disabled), so I'm staying on the same save for quite a while. If I get bored, I will probably go back to my favorite family.

I'll go to my saved games mostly. Starting from scratch can be daunting!

I don't have old saves except for backups for emergencies. I prefer to have one or more ongoing games.

I've got a lot of older saves I want to get back into and some I just put on hold while I play my apocalypse challenge though I have another user account on this computer and can play in my other active Sims 3 folder with legacy challenges or my 100 baby challenge.
