Thanks for all the input, although I do still sit on the fence over this. And not for the same reason, either. Yesterday, the much-needed UPDATED Road to Fame mod was released. Now, here I sit, enjoying the TEST save and wondering do I go back to my MAIN save and pick up where I left off, play them both, or keep with this 'new' save? Oi. I'm rarely this indecisive. I guess I'm torn. Maybe I'll keep both, and play both, since the Sims are the same, just at different moments in their pixelated lives. I'm mean, in the TEST save everybody is young again and the first generation are still very much alive. Whereas in the Main save, the first generation, including Brianna's parents-in-law are all deceased. Playing Erik's life all over again may stem the need to 'start over' with any impasse that comes up, yet, I just don't know. I've been patiently waiting for the updated version of the mod and yet now that it's here, it's almost too late. I'm invested in the new save. To be honest, I was torn during the game play of the Main save, too, which is also causing the indecision. My dream is to follow Erik right up to the end of his life, watching him perform as an Elder. I had that goal in Sims3, but then Sims4 came out and it was postponed until we got GF and RTF paved the way for me to try again. Oh, well. I'll figure it out at some point. LOL
Thank you, ALL for your input. Happy Simming!
