story mode needs to be more accessible
So I spent 5 days making my sims with the perfect storymode made for it to just not save to my library? why isn't this just an addable option at any time, so I don't waste 5 days of my life for no re...

@Psychotps, unless I'm mistaken, what @Krystalovely meant is that they forgot to save the household to the library when creating them, and then thought about it later and couldn't save them with any their jobs and money that they acquired thought Story Mode.
I thought that they wouldn't have their jobs saved either if they tried to make a copy of their household in CAS later after playing them some.... but it turns out that all of the aspects you acquire in Story Mode will copy at any time , except for the initial funds your household is given! :eahigh_file: So this saving feature functions with Story Mode just like it does without Story Mode. 🙂
So, my advice to @Krystalovely is (unless you accidentally deleted the household you worked so hard to create with Story Mode) to go and load that household and then go into CAS by clicking on a wardrobe or dresser and then choose "Plan Outfits". This will bring you into CAS where you can make any changes if you want to. Then in the top right-hand corner click on the button with a picture of an arrow going down into a folder (called "Save Household"). That will bring you into a box that allows you to take their picture and enter any info about them -- from there in the bottom right corner click on the button that says "Save Household to My Library" (it looks like a tray with an arrow pointing down into it.) And it will save your household into your library with everything you acquired in Story Mode with the exception of the starting funds.😇
My Sim has a few skills, a job in the Culinary profession a few levels up, and high starting funds that I got all from Story Mode. When I copied her household to my Library, everything was retained except of the higher funds she should have received to start out with, she had the normal amount. This can easily be fixed with a money cheat :
Bring up the Cheat Box by pressing "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "C" at the same time and then in the cheat box you can type "kaching" (without the quotes) and then press enter or type "rosebud" without the quotes and then press "Enter". Either one of these cheats will give you 1,000 Simoleans and you can cheat a few thousand to have your Sim start with any extra funds that didn't' transfer in the copying process, (if you Sim got higher starting funds in Story Mode). 😉
One of the more annoying things I found about TS4 is the fact that you can't NOT save it to the library. If you create a sim in CAS, it ALWAYS saves it to the library. I actually wish that was a feature I could turn OFF because I'm frequently having to go through my library and deleting all the sims I created but don't care to keep.
I don't see how this player could create a sim and not have it save. It ALWAYS saves. So, there must be a mod interfering.
I actually want to know what mod that IS because I'm going to put it in my game. Maybe it'll stop my game from constantly saving EVERY SINGLE sim to my library.
