By SAW, I mean Save-a-World. As in, being able to save a world like a lot to your gallery and even upload and share it. Often times, simmers make a world (especially Newcrest) according to a theme, or simply in a specific way, which they wish to use again or share, but it is a ton of effort to place all those lots again. If we could only save a world and maybe give it a new name, it would really be very useful and allow builders to share their "custom worlds" again, almost like in TS3. Would you simmers like this? Say what you think in the comments :)

I would love to be able to share a world! :smiley:

That's a very clever idea! I like it! People could upload these saves with a major backstory about the history of the neighborhood, detailing all the drama going on between all the households.

It didn't even occur to me! Ah, I can already see people making wonderful Medieval towns and setting up households that hate each other, even creating Romeo and Juliet scenarios, and maybe even rivaling kingdoms :smiley: And, since gameplay can be integrated according to when it is saved and uploaded, it would also be possible to upload households in clubs, to make the backstories play out :smiley: Endless possibilities!

As someone who hates building, I really appreciate this idea. Even finding the right houses to fill up Newcrest bores me.

This sounds perfect. I also wish we could change the names of worlds to fit specific themes.

If we can't have CAW, can we at least get SAW?

I love writing Backstories for households, Imagine What I could do with a WHOLE WORLD! I could get a world like Willow Creek and have everything seem good and happy, but something's brewing underneath the surface of the worn out smiles..., I know you can already write world backstories but I'd love to put them on the gallery!

Ah yes it would also be really fun seeing what other people create! There are so many creative simmers out there. It would be amazing to see what they come up with :) Reading backstories is also fun, and worlds would be able to be uploaded with clubs and pre-determined relationships/skills (according to when you save it), so the backstories can actually play out :)

Also, there are some amazing builders out there and they could completely give some of our 'boring' generic worlds a whole new feel, and style!

Yes, and wouldn't it be great if you could add those neighborhoods to your own save. Like having two Willow Creeks and Newcrests, and three Oasis Springs to travel between. Being able to choose different backdrops and put different houses in there. No more lack of space problem.

Did you know we can already save worlds in the game? But not rename the town or put it in the gallery and we can also duplicate the town.
All you have to do is edit your town the way you want and go to the folder in the top right corner, click "save as" and give it a unique name so it doesn't overwrite an existing game. Then you don't have to keep rebuilding newcrest, when you start a new game just save it under a new name so you can always keep you original saved game.

I was able to have a R&J storyline in a modern town

Hahaha, I wasn't suggesting that R&J is only applicable to Medieval times, of course. The story just seems to occur more in Historic saves when people play, I guess because that's the time it was written for. Modern-day R&J is fun too, though. I once played a R&J with Get Together's clubs: it was painter, snobby Juliet vs nature-loving, guitar-playing Romeo :)
