Add a save option while in create a sim.

I'd add a million Me Toos to this if I could @kisses2kenney621. I'd dearly love a save feature in CAS. I create sometimes 8 Sims at a time to split into their own households. They are always related so I have to create all 8 at the same time because I often can't create relationships and family dynamics if I save some and return to the household in CAS. It won't always let me do that. So rather than risk that it's a marathon CAS session.

I'll sometimes create them in basic form and then add more to them later just to get them all made, but it still takes quite a while for a big family.

I'm not sure if we'll see a colour wheel in this version of the Sims but I do believe we'll see it in Sims 5. I miss it from Sims 3. I used to love being able to not just change colours but also create textures and patterns as I like a household to match and be coordinated. In particular with home decor I really miss using it and also being able to create hair colours and highlights.

I'd love this just because it can take me a long time to make a Sim just right, much less multiple ones. A quicker option than accepting the household as complete and then reloading them in CAS would be really nice.

Yes!! Sometimes I create the entire family and each of their outfits, sometimes multiple per category. I would love the ability to save a long the way or save and return later. I too find myself getting the basics created as a base just to get the family saved before I lose them. I’ve lost some pretty amazing sims to no man land :/

Can you not save to library while you’re working on a household? I must admit I’ve never tried, but I do sometimes save lots to the library while I’m building, to create a backup in case something crashes or I end up hating a change I’m about to make while experimenting…

Then I just go into the library again when I’m done and delete duplicates/intermediate stages.

@PipMenace you can if you're just creating a few Sims who aren't related, say a group of roommates but if you add family members it usually deletes their relationships and it won't always let you add them again, or add Dynamics. It produces a message saying something like "cannot edit pre-existing Sims" and Dynamics boxes are greyed out. It also won't let you use the body sliders again either. At least it doesn't for me on Xbox. The body sliders go away once the Sim has been created and only return for new Sims added. But I can still adjust sizes a little bit manually.

It may work differently depending on platforms though but I couldn't say for sure.

@simsplayer818Perhaps console is different. I've never had an issue on Mac with preserving relationships within the household from the library, nor any issues editing as long as I haven't placed them in world yet. So if I was part way through creating an 8-Sim household and had to go, I'd save them to my library, then come back later and create a new household to open CAS, then immediately open the library, find my family, place them using replace, and just keep going.

Of course that wouldn't work if you were trying to create family relationships over multiple households and had already split some off; saving to library does destroy all non-household relationships.

@PipMenacethat's interesting, it loses all relationships for me within the new household.
So the newly created family are no longer related and it's been like that for some years now. For one example, I placed a saved family from the library and saw their little girl wasn't related to them. Then I realised the links had gone. In that case I was able to link the parents as husband and wife but I couldn't link their daughter Quinn. It had taken me a while to create her and fill all 5 outfit categories for her too so I wasn't impressed as I had to recreate her. Then I continued noticing it with relationships and since Growing Together I also see it with Family Dynamics.
So perhaps it's a console issue or an Xbox issue.

interesting. I play on both Xbox and mostly PS5. I have these same issues. Once I save some features cannot be modified, both specific to the sim as well as family.
Say I make the mom and a child but haven’t yet made dad. Have to save and leave. When I come back I cannot make him the dad of the pre created child because it’s greyed out. However during game play I can make him adopt the child. 

That's really strange because I play on both Xbox and PC and have not actually experienced a difference when it comes to households imported from the library into CAS. With both platforms it preserves relationships for me and allows full editing (just as long as it's for a completely new game). I wonder why those differences would occur for some people playing the same platform and not for others. Possible bug?
