How many saves do you have/play?
I've heard of many players who have been playing the same save since the game was released. Though my first, long-lasting save has long been lost, I still have one that is a bit older, like two years or so. I currently have 4 saves in total, but I am only actively playing 3 of them.
The first one, the oldest, is a rotational save I used to play a lot, but the families were just too many to keep track of. Additionally, there were some families I wanted to advance to the next generation, while I wanted to keep other families the age they were. I don't like enabling aging for active household only because it's too immersion-breaking for my taste, that's why I abandoned this save and kinda parted it into 3 different ones. I didn't delete this first save because I still occasionally use it to transfer lots and households to the 3 new saves.
As for the 3 I am currently playing, the first one is a one-family save in which I am playing the very first family I've created in TS4 (which I even played back in TS3), mainly with the focus on Get Famous and Basemental's mods. Even though it's the same family, their lives are vastly different from the version of them I've played in the first save. I also plan on integrating Discover University gameplay into this save, though I don't have the pack yet.
The second one is a rotational save in which I play a few other families, all in some way connected to each other, which I all transferred from my old save. The packs I mostly use in this one are City Living and Get to Work, but I also plan on doing some vampire-related stuff there.
The third and last one is a save specifically for Realm of Magic gameplay, maybe also with Vampires in the future. I only play one family there and it's the one I wanted to advance to the next generation in the old save, which I am probably gonna do soon.
How many saves do you play with and for what purposes do you use different saves? I'm always curious to know how other people play the game.
