How do you delete saves on the console?

I don’t know if this the right answer but have you tried the triangle button? (or Xbox equivalent if you’re on Xbox). It seems to be the delete button for most things in the game.

You cannot delete individual saves, but you can overwrite them.

Next time you go to save just select the save you don't want and your current save will take over.

Ahh that's too bad. I have 2 saves and was wanting to get rid of 1. Thanks for the info.

Yes this game really needs a way to delete save files. I had a few save not realising you only need one save file for all families and worlds. It was too confusing have so many saves for basically the same worlds.

Ended up having to delete the save file from within the manage game options. Lost everything and had to start again. Now i'm careful not to create news saves.

Yes it does. The one save covers all worlds. As long as you don't select the new game option you can play all households in all worlds under a single save and the world selection screen will tell you how many played households are in each world

@MrStrange

You could say each save is its own universe.

Each save contains all households in all worlds. All your different households in the same save can interact with eachother even if they are on different worlds.

All you then need to do is overwrite the same save every time you save.

If you want all your families to share the same save then you must never select the New game option. Just click continue then you can create new families and sims on the neighbourhood screen.

If you want just one family in a neighbourhood then you just need to give it it's own save after creating a new game although not sure why you would want to do that

Can you save the aging options per save, or does what you choose cover all saves regardless?

Like keep saves in Save 1 with it's age settings as default, but Save 2 aging is Long Lived and people you don't play don't age (or age at same rate preferably).

Assuming the latter, but thought I'd ask.

Aging is by save I believe.

I always have to delete them because they are too many, and every time I start a game, it shaves another at the library, how can I delete them forever?

I've had the same problem since day one. Been trying to solve this issue and even created a thread at EA's Answers HQ, but so far I've had no luck. I don't want to delete the save, I just want to be able to delete permanently from the library any households I have created.

Regardless of how busy ea are, they need to hurry on this, a lot of people need to get in to their saves.

Go to settings then storage then saved data and go to your Sims 4 folder then you can delete the saves from there

Just dont delete the user data file unless you want to lose all saved sims and lots in your library and game settings.
