I honestly wish The Sims Team would add an auto save feature. It would save countless number of people time and their sanity. Like I’m really surprised this not a feature with the hours of gameplay Sims4 gamers put into the game.
Also just an idea let the gamer set when the auto save happen. Example they 30 mins etc.
I'm glad TS4 doesn't have an autosave. I have fixed countless problems with my game through the very simple method of exiting without saving and then loading again. It's often impossible to do that with games that use autosaves.
TS4 already asks whether you want to save whenever you Exit to Main Menu, Exit Game, switch households, or go to Manage Worlds, with Yes as the default. That's good enough for me.
If you don't mind using mods, MCCC has an auto save feature. I use it all the time. To many crashes after playing for hours and losing everything, for me not to use it.
Exactly, no one wants autosave when disaster strikes and your sim is accidentally killed by the Murphy bed.
I don't know if I'm for or against auto-save built into the game, but I do use it with MCCC. But I don't know if my mind made this up or not, but I thought there was auto-save back when The Sims 4 first came out. I remember it would auto-save as a separate file so if we wanted to exit without saving we could do that too.
Heck no unless I can toggle it off immediately
as painful as it is sometimes to forget saving it would be more painful if it saved at totally wrong times
like this dang forum autosave I keep having to cancel.
like ''oh you just corrupted your entire lot let me autosave that for you real quick'' no thanks 😩
No, I need the ability to quit the game without saving. I've had Sims die on their honeymoon. Sometimes I get started rebuilding a lot and just want it back to what I had before. On patch days like today I need to test mods and may have to go in and out of game without saving. All kinds of reasons.
I know it's sad though if your game crashes and you lose some wonderful moment. I try to save periodically throughout the Sim day to avoid this, but it has happened.
However I would rather have to recreate some moments rather than have to resurrect a Sim or fix a save.
Having an Auto Save that rotates over a number of save files (as you can set up in MCCC) means you have a bit of a safety net. Also within each save file you can select previous saves going back a few saves. Not sure if that's base game or the mod.
No thanks, my playing would be done , if autosave.
Honestly from what I recall there was an auto save at one point but it caused so many issues they removed it. I personally wouldn't like it but I save so often I rarely use a lot of progress. Years of simming taught me that.
I think having an auto save option would be great 😀 That way people who want it could use it, but those who don't could leave it turned off.
