Personally, I see this change in the game as a rather special dynamic. Currently, I've been using the Slice of Life mod that augments our Sims' personalities like nobody's business. If Lifestyles and Sentiments does anything close to this mod, I'm excited for it. I can well understand your reticence. I have an innate fear of patches, myself. The past three have really done a number on my game saves. I did finally, figure out that it wasn't altogether necessary for me to start a brand new game save to 'fix' the problem. But, rather, I needed to pull my mods/cc out and redownload them, anew, one at a time. (After they were updated, of course.) Playing the game for a bit, checking the mods out individually. This saved my current game. I am the Queen of Restarts, but I had just restarted, as it were, and taken my four siblings through Uni. All but one is married at this point, but the lone hold out just got engaged. Hey, he's in Med School, or was, and just made Chief Resident and is now drawing a paycheck. His sweetheart has also taken a job to help them out. I have not planned the wedding, yet. The point is, I was able to save this game. We live and learn.
But, I just restarted my Ancestral game save. Here we sit waiting for that other shoe to drop. Oi. But, I can't wait until I can see what this new system will bring. As always, I will backup my game folder, especially my saves and Tray, pull my Mods folder and hope for the best. At least I'm not staring down a hurricane or anything. Although Zeta is on a path that would threaten where my sixth great-grandfather was laid to rest. I haven't been there, yet, either. :open_mouth:
