We need a Blank State option when starting a new save.

If you are on PC, there are plenty of save files you can download. There are a few creators that have shared empty saves. You just put them in the saves folder and you automatically have an empty save.

I don't like sticking unknown files into my games. It's one of the reasons I don't play with mods or CC either. 😅

I can see the merits of something like this SimulationBuilds​ in particular for test saves. For my test save I went through and wiped loads of lots and households manually. Playing on console, storage is important and less builds and households in a new save could be helpful in some circumstances. It could even be in Game Options along with a toggle off new Townies option that would also really be much appreciated. There could be a "Start with Blank lots" checkbox for example. Obviously it wouldn't work for apartments, but for lots it could be useful and would add a degree of flexibility, especially as you can't delete lots from the world maps and have to load each one to bulldoze it.

100% it would be so helpful. I also think it could still apply to apartments. All The Sims team would need to do is make all of the apartments empty shells.

I'm not overly sure they would give us an option to turn off Townie generation since the game has to generate new Sims for the special NPC Sims in the game.

SimulationBuilds​, I was just putting it out there that the option is available to PC players already. There are safe sites to get save files from. Curgeforge is and just an FYI some of the maker creators actually make CC or offer save files that are safe.

Of course, thank you for the suggestion. I'd still rather this was an official thing though so even the console simmers could benefit from it.

I really like to start my saves from scratch, but it's really annoying to have to either download a blank save from somewhere else or to bulldoze/place a blank lot on every single world in every single neighborhood. I'd love if there was either an option to start with a blank save and start in Build Mode without needing to create a household first, or an option to bulldoze entire worlds, or even just neighborhoods. Personally, it'd save a lot of time and energy when creating saves from the ground up.
