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.

I deleted my family I didn't want from my library as I didn't know how to delete saves

The only way i have found so far is to wipe the game in the console settings on the ps4 but you lose all save files.

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.

Does that mean that if I want to play another family in another world (Let's say Oasis Springs), I can overwrite the same save that I was playing before (Newcrest)?

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

That's great! Thanks for letting me know.> @Malacath said:

That's great! Thanks for letting me know.

Is it possible to have more than one household? Because my Sim is going to move out of his parents' house soon, but I still want them there and don't want to lose them like Sims 3.
