Add a save option while in create a sim.
As a long time player I would love to see the option to save while inside create a character mode as I have found sometimes it can freeze up or glitch when trying to add an additional sim causing a r...

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?
@Moozilla13 perhaps content related then 🤔. I mentioned it years ago as a possible bug/issue but back then I had a lot less content. Nothing came from it so I left it.
I must test it now I've completed the DLCs collection and see if it's different now with the full game. Thinking of the last time I had an issue it was just after adding the Goth and Castle Kits and I was creating my Goth Sim's family. I've since then added the last pack, Vampires.
So can I ask if you have Growing Together can you edit the family dynamics after returning to a household? Because for me it's greyed out as soon as I stop editing the household for the first time.
I can add a new family member if I use Play with Genetics just fine but it usually won't let me add a link if I haven't used that feature. So that's why when the relationships are lost in the library I can't link them again and get the "can't edit pre-existing Sims" message.
It's been like this on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

I have growing together and have the same greyed out dynamics once I return. I mostly play on PS5 but I also play on XBOX One. Same on both. Though I don’t play on Xbox much anymore. The more packs I buy on XBOX the slower the game runs and the glitchier it gets. Even with plenty of memory and great connectivity. I don’t have these issues on PS5. The loading screens are longer but gameplay hasn’t been affected.
- @kisses2kenney621 Yeah the thing with running Sims 4 on Xbox is the processing power as Microsoft told me. I had loads of reliability issues over the years and through help here and from really patient Microsoft Support I put together my little rules for regular game management. I clear all inventories when switching households, I keep library use to a minimum and I keep a check on the number of households in Other Households and regularly clear them out. I also never download from the Gallery as it gave me error codes that wiped everything. It's definitely work, but I'm finally happy with how it's running on Xbox Series X. When it starts to lag I know if I check Other Households it's going to have a load of new random Households in it that need to be culled. For Rent has added a lot more townies and it keeps adding them too.
Thanks for replying about your Family Dynamics being greyed out like mine are, so I know it's not just me. - @simsplayer818 I do still have the dynamics option when I load a saved family from the library, so it sounds like it's hit or miss whether it works the way it's supposed to on console. I have only edited that feature with a played-and-saved family that I reloaded for a new game once, so I might try to experiment with additional households to see whether the issue pops up for me.
Side note, @kisses2kenney621 I had the same problem running TS4 on XB one and it's for sure better ever since I moved up to XB series X. Like simsplayer818 mentioned, XB one doesn't have the best processor unfortunately, so it doesn't play well with spaghetti code games like Sims :/ In a lot of ways I thought the 360 was actually a better system, which irks me on principle lol. (Their support team is fantastic, though, way more helpful and reliable than most tech resources we get to deal with) - @simsplayer818 Just a follow up here, I discovered that it does in fact gray out the dynamics option for me until I change the relationship type. Then it allows me to edit dynamics. Since that was what I did the first time, I hadn't even noticed it did default to grayed-out dynamics options at first. So it does appear to be by design rather than a weirdly arbitrary bug, then (which definitely highlights why they do need to give us a save in CAS option).
