What does this really mean? 👋 "applies to new saves only"? 🤷♀️ I have always played rotationally, and every time there is an update or I add something to my library, when I load my game, I choose "save as" and in window where it says New save.... create a "new save", I do that. Am I doing it right? 🙄Or does it mean that I would have to start in create-a-sim and create a whole new game to have it count as a "new save"? 🤔 I surly would appreciate some clarification. 😁
I might be wrong, but I think "new save" means a new game. Imagine they add a change to one of the premade lots that is in the game when we run it for the first time, or they make changes to premade sims. Then it would cause chaos if such changes was added to existing games, because simmers might have adjusted both sims and lots long ago. So, the changes will only have affect in new saves (new games). "Save as..." would not get such changes.
It does!!!! I kept asking AI but I was not asking in the right way???? the 'work around' to maintain the neighborhood I have going on now... save all families, lots to the gallery and load a family from the gallery into cas to start the new game. the rub: when you load them from the gallery, they will only have "All traits, skills, career and aspiration progress are preserved. What to do if you need to save relationships and inventory : Save the household to your library: You can save a household to your library, which is a personal collection, and not upload it to the community gallery." - I have never saved an entire household so I don't know how true that statement actually is. Either way, that for me would be a nightmare. Sorry, I want to play it, not "fix it" so the fixes work!!!!
Which now poses the question - what's the point in creating a fix that "applies to new saves only"??

It's when a fix introduced to current saves probably would break them, or are impossible to implement. I get that it's not an ideal fix, and that a real one applying to all saves would be better, but I am assuming that when they choose to apply it only to new saves it's probably not a choice they make because they feel like it.
I've been playing the same save, essentially, for 6 years. I "save as" and make fresh backups from time to time, and after updates. I have an empty world save I go back to if I feel like moving things around. But I haven't started a fully new, back to the base, game in all that time. The only issue I've encountered is that I occasionally have to look up what was originally on a lot so I know where to go if that matters. I had to go to what is the Aspir lot in my game when we were supposed to go to the park. Worked fine. As far as I can tell, my game is fully updated. That's not to say they might not update something that truly needs a new game, I just haven't had it happen yet.
