how is everyone get their game ready for eco making a new sim or maybe using an older sim working on skills tell me what your doing to get ready for eco
Not really anything at the moment, but I do have a save that I have been working on for a long time. I don't play it, but rather use it for a starter template. But after I am able to add Eco to it, there will be several of the premades getting some makeovers. I really love the CAS aspect of the game. After that, I will be going into all their homes and business to add different aspects of the pack through out the game save.
I tend to start a new save with each new pack (except with some Stuff Packs), so that's the plan with Eco Lifestyle as well. :smile: I'll get my Simself updated with the new CAS content (her aspiration, traits, hairstyle, etc.) and maybe start working on her house. But other than that, starting from scratch with a new save means not much preparation is needed. :wink:
I'm a serial re-starter so it's a toss up between starting a new save or moving the sims I'm currently playing to the new world. Currently I like my sims but we'll have to see if it's that still true when the expansion hits...
I, too, suffer from restartitis so you can guess what I'll be doing :D
I do have a base save though, which I just edit now and again and then start a new game from that. I will be editing various Lots once the pack comes out.
For now, I am busy writing bios for all the households as I filled every single residential Lot with sims. I also need to create a new household ready for the new world.
Going to cheat my main save so everything is an ecotopia! However, I'm also going to start a new save specifically to start afresh in Evergreen Harbour and to clean the place up. I'm going to be using a YA Morgan Fyres who's trying to distance herself from her Renegade adolescence (I find it so interesting how she's part of that group, yet literally has the Good trait and so would be chronically uncomfortable around Max!).
I started a new game. I'm giving the premades makeovers. Adding some sims. I'm playing a little with aging off. The New Skill Day is a couple of days away. I wanted to start Eco Life on New Skill Day so when I get it it won't take long to max a skill. I need a witch with the needs potions so they can just work on a skill the whole day and not have to worry about anything else. I won't have time to do that though. I'm either going to stop playing for now or try to play through a couple of years until New Skill Day comes up again. Do you know how often New Skill Day comes up? Is it every 2 years? Or 3? Maybe I can get a sim to get the Savant reward and get to New Skill Day! I'm totally going to max one of the new skills as soon as I can download the game! Maybe 2 skills!
I just finished 3 container based/Tiny Living homes. Well, until I get Eco Lifestyle so I can add eco content to them.
Next, I am going to start thinking about community spaces that I want to create. I will be playing my ongoing save. Only one sim will move to Evergreen harbor, since it fits her story best. Other sims will move there after they graduate from Uni. I have a lot of sims. Some will also go to San Myshuno.
I'm still using the same save from when sims 4 first came out. I am currently preparing by making a few new sims I want to live there. Plotting on which of my current families should move there, getting cc downloaded that I want to add for story purposes. And just overall reorganizing my folders,mods, and cc. So when the new pack comes I can just jump right into it! ?
