One thing I thought about that I would like to understand is how do you assign careers and relationships, clubs, ect between different households without family trees sometimes breaking or having too much game time passing by?

Thank you for being such a useful mentor, and taking the time to answer my questions, highly appreciated!!

You're very welcome. If you need to know anything else, just ask. I can't always promise to know the answer but I can help you to the best of my ability.

I really suggest you have a build save not connected to your save that you're working on. I do this mainly for renovating houses already placed in the save.

As for the careers, relationships, etc., I make great use of the pause button and cheats. There isn't a way to stop time from progressing, so you have to be really fast.

When it comes to assigning careers, I do this in an empty save. This helps the passing of time in your save not go as fast. That's where I also cheat the skills. The relationships don't carry over from the Library so I do this in the actual save.

If you're not opposed to mods, MCCC and UI Cheats extension mods are very helpful.

I do need to clarify, I build all the lots before I place my sims in the save. Even if I make all the sims I keep them in a my Library until everything is set up.

Also, another thing I thought of is I keep a log of all the lot names and the residents that live in the lots. I do this in case I need to start over.

When saving your lots and households to your Library, I also suggest using a hash tag for the world, neighborhood, and something indicating your save. For example, your sim lives in Foundry Cove in Willow Creek, I would use # WillowCreek # FoundryCove # savefile (without the spaces) in the description. It makes it so much easier to find everything to place them down.

Once again, if you need anything else, let me know.
