I love the save files made by people like Lilsimsie, but I run into the problem that I'm far from having all the packs, so I can't use them. Life is too short to track down naked hairless sims and broken builds. So I've been working on my own custom save for about a year now off and on. I'm constantly updating it. I just finished Windenburg! Yay! I do use mods and CC, but I build the save vanilla because I move CC in and out of my game on the slightest whim. Do you have your own custom save file for your own use?

I have one completely empty save, that I plan on populating and building up. Then another with all made-over premades, lots of my own sims and fav sims from the Gallery. That ones basicially finished, except a few empty lots to fill. I've not re-built what was already there, and none of the pre-mades had their houses improved....yet.

I am working on my own save for months now. I created about 150 sims so far and slowly redoing all of the worlds. It keeps me interested and let's me having fun with the game when I would usually get burned out on it. I switch between playing, building and creating sims and it is just much more immersive for me when all the sims I meet are my own creations and they visit builds made by me. If I enjoyed playing with premades I would probably use other people saves for time reasons XD

I have one empty save. Just to buldoze everything it took me a long time ? but i've actually only used it once... it's really hard work to make a custom save and most of the time i've started one i've ended not liking it too much and deleting the file alltogether...

Sort of, in every save I go around remaking the premade sims and replacing the built in lots with ones I find on the gallery but I don't have a specific remodelled save file

I use my own save files. One where I gave the premades make overs, one with legacies, one supernatural/star wars themed, an empty save, and one with my favorite sims of all time. I find that I don't enjoy playing other people's saves or sims. So, I have all these saves and have them backed up so I don't lose them.

Anyone make their own custom save files?

What is a custom save file? I play my game and that’s it. The idea of playing other people’s saves seems odd to me.

I never thought of playing with another person's save file. I play and build my own save and that's it. It's mostly CC free, but I don't think I'll ever finish. I'm not that much into building lots and I always go back and rework what I have already made instead of focussing on building new lots.

I have a few custom saves.

I have a build only save (which has all the EA builds in it), a completely empty save (no sims or buildings) for when I want to start from scratch, a 'sims 3 in sims 4' save, and a few different set-ups with custom sims and custom builds to start from.

Hm, no I don't have a save file intended for others, besides there is probably little point n me sharing as most builds etc are random in style and features. But this thread reminds me of a save I shared including a CC TS3 world, which included a mystery story to explore. I'd love doing that again, but not quite sure how to hide anything as we don't have the same possibility for triggers that we had with World Adventure labyrinths.

I play with Limsimsie's and Plumbella's save files.
