After a longer hiatus, it can be difficult to remember exactly where I was going with a particular household. I find that looking through my notes and past screenshots helps me reorient and reconnect. I have several saves I rotate between, so there’s usually at least one family that I have an urge to get back to after reviewing my options.
However, it’s not unusual for me to come up with several new ideas for saves during a hiatus. I’ve always had more build projects and game scenarios I’ve wanted to explore than I have time for anyway, and forced time away from simming only adds to the list, lol.
A recent example: Life got crazy busy in early October and stayed interesting for awhile, so I hadn’t opened the game again until about two weeks ago. Three months later, I’m still very interested in my older games, but the new save ideas that had developed in the interim were too compelling to resist. So I started setting up the worlds, creating new Sims and building for some of those instead, and am now on week 7 with one of them.
My other saves are safely backed up and available for whenever I want to continue them, and I always do eventually. I just follow the mood.
