How many saves can console have?

@marcel21 I get what you're saying, but I never really play more than one household per save. I have a few rotational saves I'd like to do once I get a new PC, it's not something I really plan to do with console though.

Since I can't seem to post a new topic, guess I'll highjack this one.

My cousin and I were wondering if it's possible to put our saved files on a USB drive and share our characters and builds. I'm a builder, he is not. I want to give him the properties I made. And since for whatever reason console games don't have the community downloads. Looking for a work around.

That's actually an interesting thought. I can't say for sure whether it'd work, but I think it'd be worth trying. My advice? Make sure you keep an extra copy of your saves somewhere first before trying, either on a second USB drive or something like that. Because I'm not sure if sharing saves between games like that could mess up any ones you already have, if that makes sense? If you Google how to put saves onto a USB drive from whatever console you're using, it should come up.

Also, you have to have a certain amount of posts until you become a Member and can make your own topics. You'll have to keep hijacking others in the meantime :P

Yeah hopefully it works. I love building! But kinda pointless when nobody to share with ha

why is that?
for me I like to add some of my own sims and lots to the town during my current save.

If I don't I will have nothing but spawned townies and EA familys and lots :#

There never used to be many kids or toddlers before i started doing this.

do you like to use your own lots and familys in your town?


of course if that's what works best for you thats all that matters.

I have decided to switch to ps4 myself. as I find they did a pretty good port this time around.
but if they don't get up some form of gallery I might end up switing back.

What are your fears if you attemp it only when you return to PC?

I wouldent say building was pointless. the same goes for creating sims or building rooms.

its useful to saves them to use or change later.

well hopefully we will get some news on a studio or gallery.

i could build and show lots for fun i guess simply by taking screenshots.

same goes for sims and created rooms.

or make avitars

I don't really add my own things when I play, I just let the game generate townies. I never really go in and make anyone have kids (except for my 100 Baby Challenge I did.) I like to build but I like to download lots as well, it's just easier. Plus I miss having CC and mods, it's getting boring with all my Sims wearing the same things as each other v.v

And do you mean my fears of rotational gameplay? I don't have any, I just think it'll be easier on PC.

Unfortunately content can’t be transferred from PC to console. You will have to rebuild your lots and Sims using the console tools.

Dang. I've been playing on two but ones useless does anyone know how I can delete one?

5... you have to overwrite another save game to make a 6th game.
