Creating a "base save" game file

I realised how much time I spend every time I start a new save deleting premades, adding my own lots, etc
(I do it gradually though)

So I decided to create a base save to use every time I would need to start a new game save.
I started building up the world yesterday and realised it is going to take me a while to get it how I want it to be. I am wondering if any of you has any experience doing this and could give me any tips.

Like: do you go neighbourhood by neighbourhood? Or maybe start with all the venues you want first? Do you leave a lot of empty lots and houses for future gameplay and future households? Or only a few empty spots? Do you think it's worth to spend time in the vacation worlds? What about Newcrest?

    Sweet, I'll have a nosy through my gallery and see if anything I've got matches your plans.

    To start off, here are a few things that I put into my saves regularly:

    Triumphal Arch - used as a lounge (I place this at the location where the Harbour Quarter Gym is in Windenburg)

    Newcrest:
    Newcrest Park
    Paradise Pools

    I place these two side-by-side, as I think they compliment each other so well.

    I'll add more if I can think of them but these ones I put in almost all my saves.


    Wow! Triumphal Arch is such a cool build!

    The ones for Newcrest really look like they should be next to each other, I never build parks like that one, really inspirational, thanks so much!


    No problems! I hope you like them :blush:

    I've been thinking about doing this, but I know that when I start it i'll get bored after 2 to 3 houses :sweat_smile:


    So far, what I did yesterday, everytime I felt like I was getting bored, I played with whatever household I was setting up (ageing off) for a couple of sim days, then back to building/planning, and so on. I tried to keep it dynamic jumping from one thing to another but staying focused on one neighbourhood at a time.
    I fear I'll get bored before finishing my plan anyway and that's why I seek advice and tips.
