Maybe when/if my main save becomes unplayable due to bugs?
I have wanted to start a new save, so that I could get rid of some bugs, and I have thought that maybe I could move the most important sims to a new save. Yet when my main save became unplayable due to the black photos bug (I have a back up so no worries) I realised I have way too many background sims I still want to have around and play, so moving only the most important sims isn't enough. I have almost as many stories as I have sims in my main save, so there's always someone I want to play.
I can so relate to this! When you've played a save for too long it's impossible to differentiate between your sims and the save, and also the family relations and the friendships that would just vanish... I could never handle it.
With all the changes of the last few years, I plan to try to create a new rotational save/forever world, doing a few things differently with neighborhood stories and non-played aging than I did the first time, but my big old save will never be deleted (unless by some weird accident).
