Is “Save As” safe?

I’m planning on temporarily moving more than 8 sims onto a lot for storytelling purposes using MCCC, and I want to create a separate copy of my save just in case I mess something up. I seem to remember some debate here on the forums about whether or not it’s safe to use “Save As,” but I wasn’t really paying much attention at the time, and I couldn’t find it again when doing a search on the forums.

Do you use “save as,” and what has been your experience with it? Have you heard about any issues with “save as”? Thanks.

    Honestly you should use "save as" as much as possible. There are more benefits than drawbacks. I have tons of versions of the same save that I give another name. If you ever get an irreversible awful error in one file you can open your same save from an alternate version and never lose a thing. I use an external hard drive and I periodically back up my entire "Sims 4" folder that is in "My Documents" I've had same save since 2014 because of my constant use of "Save as..."!
