Re: Moving Households into a new Save


@Ms_Ebun wrote:

I currently have 3 played households in one save. How do I create a new save file for each household while keeping all the relationships, skills, careers, and houses saved, so I still have all 3 households in 3 different save files but each one only has one active/played household. If any of that makes sense?


Interesting question to which many players would love an answer.
*Sims saved to the gallery will keep all skills, traits and completed aspirations.
*Household funds will be reset to a base amount when downloaded from the gallery.
*Each household will maintain relationships with the Sims in the same household.
*Houses or other customized lots can be shared to the gallery and downloaded into a new game.

...You might have to use a cheat like FreeRealestate on to move them back into their home in another save.
*If the total number of household members in all three households is eight or less you could temporarily combine them.
*That would preserve their in-game relationships and they can be split into different households later.
That should get you a head start on achieving your goal.
Please let me know if you have other questions.

    i tried this suggestion recently (moved family/household from the gallery to a new save) and my inventory was lost, money they had lost and the relationships didn't vanish but the mom somehow lost her ability to breastfeed her child anyway. I had to recover save and move them back into the original save before all things came back.

    Unfortunately moving to a brand new save from the gallery will cause personal and household inventory to be lost and reset of household funds back to basic amount. A workaround which might work is to choose special items  and save them as a room (or a lot) on the gallery or to the library if you prefer.

    The household funds can be adjusted using a money cheat once they are in their new home. The room with the saved items can be placed on their new lot.

    A list of approved cheats can be found here:

    For a specific amount you can use the word money followed by a space and specific money amount.

    Yeah, I'm aware of the money cheats so at the end of the day that wasn't the biggest issue but the fact that My mother sim lost the ability to breastfeed her child was. It still showed the relationship between mother and daughter but she was no longer allowed the option to breastfeed
