Auto Save Idea

I ran into an idea that may turn into/or has turned into an issue for some Simmers. That being the auto save feature. The feature doesn't seem to save as frequency has other games are allowed to. Other games I have auto save feature you can save every minute, five, ten, thirty, or an hour. Having that kind of an auto save feature could be KEY for many of us whom play hours on end, and are engross in the game and forget to save. That and I'm honestly not sure when Sims auto saves either.

  • The Sims 4 saves on loading screens like when travelling. On console at least, I haven't played Sims on PC since Sims 3. I wish it saved a little more frequently like previous versions, I try and keep remembering to save regularly especially as my console crashes a lot. I save before travel anyway just incase it doesn't autosave then.

    I can get why a lot of players wouldn't like autosave due to play styles - certain storytelling styles. I also can get wanting autosave for certain play styles - different kind of storytelling and plain building things. In the end, they probably should have made autosave an optional thing you could toggle on or off.

    Especially since the game is also locking up and crashing more without warning.

    Hello,

    I think this goes without saying, please EA, implement an autosave feature! With the various bugs many experience in The Sims 4, lag and freezes as well as occasional crashing aren't uncommon to come across. Many lose hours upon hours of their playthrough due to not expecting such issues to occur or require a manual save every 5 minutes.

    This feature would be well received by all TS4 players, and should be a priority for EA to implement. I acknowledge and accolade the EA TS4 team for continuing to push bug fixes out, but we really do need an autosave feature, at least in the meantime.

    Kindest Regards,

    Neuroli/Josh

    I wouldn't want an auto save feature, just because it might save the game at the wrong time. I want to be able to exit the game without saving if needed, so if they add such feature, would be nice to put it on a toggle button, so we can opt out.

    I think they used to have it automatically save every time your sims traveled. I think that was a removed feature from years ago.
