More than 1 game world save option?

You can have as many saves as you want. There is a little + sign up top of the main menu, where the gallery button is. It starts a fresh game. Then there is a load game icon to pick the one you want to play. :)

Yes, but you can just delete the Sim after that, from household management.

Ok, thanks for the info. I was hoping to avoid the process of loading screens that are not necessary. This really bugs me,I hate all the non-sense loading screens, EA needS to make it a open world like Sims 3. :wink:

When you load up the game and it takes you to the main menu there is a row of icons in the top right corner. Click the plus icon to start a new game and then save it. Or when in game you save your current save under a new name and that will also create a new save file.

You start a new game it takes you to cas to start that game. If you have the sims you want ssaved to gallery then when is cas you click on your library or community gallery and then click on the sim and it will ask you if you want to merge create new or I forget the other I think cancel. If you want that sim only click new, it will but them in cas and then you start save as usual. You can add others to same house then and change relationships, like I added a family to my sim and made them all related to my sim, or full edit the sims.

I have pulled the save files so I don't accidentally save over the old games but I keep loosing my games. But you can rename the save, leaving in folder and it will start a very new game without loading on top of the other saves. you can rename making saves into the name of the sims in the saves like JDsaves, just as an example.

Yeah but I don't want any Sims in the world at all, I just want a world for building. Tired for the useless steps of CAS. Also not sure if anybody else tried it or not but when you create a Sim to make a new world then delete the Sim from the world........you have to keep that Sim in your saved Sims folder or your world will be deleted, even if you save. Tried this a couple of times & the same thing happens.....notice even though you delete the Sim, that Sim's name is listed under the name of your save.......so unfortunately even though you delete them from your world you have to keep the Sim in your saved households folder. :s I think they need to fix it, bug?

You can quickly delete all the Sims in the world in Household Management, then save that as your base. Your world will be empty. You don't have to keep anything in the saved household folder. I've done this and it doesn't break a save.

When you clear a world you need to keep at least one household. You can have them be not-in-world (as in they don't have to live on a lot) but there needs to be one household present (it should pop up a warning about it). But so long as you have that one household you should be able to clear everything and everyone else out of the world without any problems. Then use the Save As save setting and Name it whatever you want. Then if you don't save anything else it will be what you start with when you press the big Play button or just use the Save File button on the top to locate the world in your Save Files. Just be sure you continue to use the Save As save feature to save your building progress or it will overwrite the blank world and you'll have to go through the process of emptying the world again.

The game will eventually generate more not-in-world sims though but they'll just walk around in the background and not interfere with anything or you can continue to clear them out once a night or get a mod to block their appearance.

I'm not sure why having one sim wandering around the world is a big deal I mean they don't do anything but exist if you spend all your time in Build Mode you won't see them at all and if you get to the point where if/when you want to repopulate the world you can delete them easily enough at that time.

Here is my question that is related. I have the Base game only right now and in New Crest all of the Lots are empty. Which is fine I love placing lots. But then when I start a NEW game I MUST do it again. I want to place the Lots and it forever. Use it on 1 or 200 saves. Can anyone help me with this?

This thread is old so will probably get closed... But when you have the save you want hit "save as" and create a new save file. Name it base game save or something
Use it every time you want to start a new save but don't save over it again. Use the save as again to name the next save that you started from that one
