So after reading one of the threads here on the forums I decided to try and start a save completely from scratch. It would be like a Newcrest world but in all the worlds. No lots, No sims ... No Nothing !!!!I shared my save I got ready for this challenge here ;)So this is just the introduction and then I will randomly start building and adding sims :D Starting with empty worlds and no sims except for the base game sim that activates my saveWillow creek, Oasis springs, Newcrest, Magnolia promenade, Windenburg and San myshunohttps://i.imgur.com/tvfaMh8.pngForgotten hollow, Brindleton bay, Del sol valley, Strangerville, Sulani and Glimmerbrookhttps://i.imgur.com/CkctqyK.pngThe magic realm, Britechester, Evergreen harbor, Mr Komorebi, Henford on bagley and Tartosahttps://i.imgur.com/BSSBPIN.pngMoonwood mill, Copperdale, San Sequoia, Chestnut ridge, Granite falls and Selvadoradahttps://i.imgur.com/vNnguJG.pngNo npc sims generated yet, also no townieshttps://i.imgur.com/48V3BB5.pngMy basegame sim is in there just to activate the empty worlds, you can delete her once your sim's are established.https://i.imgur.com/quylmRo.pngI am going to try and do everything myself, so no gallery or downloads. I will follow tutorials and so on to learn to explore building and the game more. I will share the tutorials I watch as well as my completed builds as I go on. I am thinking this will take months maybe even years to complete, but I am excited to give it a go :)Might not post for a while, as I am heading to uncle google to start watching tutorials <3Feel free to join me in this from scratch challenge ;) Happy simming all :)

Love this! Can't wait to see your progress!

I learned a lot in sims 3 and ended up doing half decent builds, so with a little tutorials and practice I am sure I will start doing better, and it will be a great challenge. Here is a pic of one of my sims 3 builds I did so it is possible if you try hard :)https://i.imgur.com/TfFsXSS.jpg

It's lovely! I'm sure you will get better as you go along too. When you finish you should compare your first build to your last one. <3

This sounds fun. I'm always looking for new challenges to follow instead of having to play catch up like I'm doing with a couple of stories. ?

Oh wow! I've always wanted to do this, but I chicken out really early on every time. I've emptied out my game so many times and then within a few days I quit. Maybe it's time I tried again? This is very inspiring to me.

So, are you making every sim from scratch, or editing the random sims that spawn in game? What are your plans for the towns? Or are you just winging it?

Good luck! Tabitha

Yip :) I am going to try and do everything from scratch including sims. So no travelling until I have completed it all. I am still watching tutorials though, I am not a good builder so need lots of tips first LOL

Feel free to post here if you want too. I am watching tutorials at the moment. It is amazing what you can do with the live edit cheat. Never really used it before so keen to start.

@mcrudd this tutorial on how to get nicer-looking townies might be beneficial to you and anyone else. I leave the maxis-created townies in my save files, but this is a lifesaver to have some nice looking townies around town :)
