I remember the day when my child came to me, she was really little (6-7) and asked me to buy her sims game. I bought it for her after she completed all chores to make money for it. When she did it, sims 4 came out. So I bought sims 4 for her too. My save is that old. I have sims 3 that we purchased but never opened, and we have sims 4, purchased for her, me and my other child. I still play the same save. I was trying to play new save. I even have 2 families there, I liked them, but never loved. My first save has 13 played families at the moment. All of them are 3 to 7 generations. I can't stop playing it. If it would be gone, my sims 4 game would be gone. So how old is your oldest save and how much you love it ? Pictures of your oldest, but current save are welcome. I'll post my pictures tomorrow. I'm on another computer right now.
My oldest save would be over a year old now, but I only played it for like three days :D It was the save I made when I first got the game on June 24th 2017 The save I actively play every day began on July 1st last year... I think. So it's also over a year old and most of my premades are dead
My oldest save is from the end of January 2015. I started it when I had the free trial and then continued. I currently play about 40 families in rotation, so the generations don't go by very fast even on normal lifespan. All my blog posts are from this save.
I wish I could say that my oldest save was years old but i'm one of those people who is constantly restarting their game. So my oldest save is about two weeks old.
I wish to be the person to easily start new save ... But it's impossible for me. All my sims are raised by me. There are currently 2 sims I found on gallery, because my sims needed 2 second half's and they couldn't find any in my 91 sims played sims circle :D ( sorry for my poor English, I'm really trying to do my best)
My oldest save is about 4 years old. I treasure it as all the other saves made in 2014 either experienced glitches (after changing the Olivia Kim-Spencer's outfit, the whole neighborhood (where BFF household lives) was in their neighborhood), eventually started crashing and making the save unplayable, or got corrupted.
My oldest save is the only save I play. I started it when the game launched so that's 2014 then. I couldn't imagine starting a new save and losing all that progress.
Wow, I hope all of you who have old saves have them backed up safely somewhere! Imagine losing it one day, that would be heartbreaking.
I'm one of those habitual re-starters, my current games are about two weeks old. Though I do have one that I probably started about a year ago, which I need to play again some time. I was playing it up until Seasons came out every now and then.
My oldest save is from November 2017, when I first got the game during the black friday sale. It was the first PC sims game I'd ever played. The sim I made was vaguely based on my own personality/facial features. She lived in Newcrest in a house I (very badly) built myself, married Don Lothario, and had three kids.
I only have 1 save, I started it the day the game cane out. I have a couple of families in each town ( except M. P ) that I rotate between. So far the game still runs smooth with no lags or crashing ( fingers crossed ). I've heard that too many families in a save can make your game have these issues.
I started playing sims 4 somewhere around Spring 2016 and i had two rotational families. But then when City Living came out i decided to start out fresh, deleted the game and started a new one. Just to replay everything that happened in one of the rotational families, only in the city. I play with that save till this day, so it's more then one year old. It was a weird game at first. As soon as my sims two babies turned into kids and i adopted two more kids, toddlers came out. So i deleted their kids and started playing as if the mom only gotten pregnant. In the second generation i played as one of the four kids who lived in an apartment with his daughter and band. While playing with that household i suddenly thought that i don't want him to have three siblings so i deleted two of them, deleted all photos with them and pretended they didn't exist. My game was very weird, i know. Pretty soon i got bored with that household because there was no way to create a normal band in the sims 4. So i decided to age up his daughter and began playing as her. Thats when things started getting a bit more steadier. At least i stopped skipping through life states and deleting family members lol. Then i played through two more generations and then... I got bored of the legacy and decided that i'm not going to play with it any longer. I was already going to start a brand new save when i suddenly thought: what if i don't? I mean, i honestly don't want to spend three more days on redoing all of the maxis townies, creating 100 more townies (since i like to have a lot of people around in my game), adding more community lots. So... why not just create a family in this very save? And that's exactly what i did. And it is being a blast! I love seeing my old sims roaming around. I honestly don't think i'll ever start a new game.
Here are some photos of my old legacy: (i admit i have too much. All my sims homes are literally full of photos. Every room, every wall. They're all actually big but sized down using the size down command. Very helpful tip to keep the quality of the pictures somewhat decent. Wish i had screenshots but i deleted them all a while ago... but if anyone needs random photos to fill their walls i could upload these on the gallery. )
