Lets start from scratch <3

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 save

Willow creek, Oasis springs, Newcrest, Magnolia promenade, Windenburg and San myshuno

Forgotten hollow, Brindleton bay, Del sol valley, Strangerville, Sulani and Glimmerbrook

The magic realm, Britechester, Evergreen harbor, Mr Komorebi, Henford on bagley and Tartosa

Moonwood mill, Copperdale, San Sequoia, Chestnut ridge, Granite falls and Selvadorada

No npc sims generated yet, also no townies

My basegame sim is in there just to activate the empty worlds, you can delete her once your sim's are established.

I 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 <3
Feel free to join me in this from scratch challenge ;) Happy simming all :)

    LOL @ncisGibbs02 it is quite odd to see them empty and I think it will take months to fill them up again too :D If you download my world then you start off with my sim, feel free to delete her or replace her with your own, It is my actual game save you download so no need to empty your own worlds or delete anything, all is done for you when you load the game ;)


    I have started playing. ?
    Willow Creek and Brindleton Bay are populated. Today I’ve moved onto StrangerVille.
    I might leave Forgotten Hollow out for this save (as there’s no Vlad).

    I actually like starting from scratch as I can place the community lots I like without having to move around and replace ones. Although I will need to make Eliza and Bob Pancakes! I miss seeing them. I’m going to put them in StrangerVille!
    I got the Classic Goths from the Gallery moved in.

    Your starting Sim has a nice house in Willow Creek. I’m trying to set up an account to share screenshots.

    @ncisGibbs02 Sounds absolutely AweSim <3 Oooh you kept my starter sim and spoiled her with a lovely house, I am sure she loves it :) Gosh can't wait to see your pics, it sounds like you are populating the world quite nicely ;)

    @all I might wait until next year when I tackle this, we are leaving tomorrow for a few days. So nice having young adult kids to stay home and watch the pets while we are away LOL. But then over Christmas it gets so busy and I love doing the Simsmas challenges so will concentrate on those once we get back and then to catch up with my collection rooms, unless I managed that tonight. So the new world will have to wait for the new year LOL
