New Save Plan: How do you, start fresh?
After seeing a tweet about one of the Sim Gurus always striping their world when they do a new save, it got me wondering about the rest of us, from fashion to day-to-day activities, I wanna know how y...

Gosh, this is going to sound boring, but my idea of a Fresh Start is to place an empty saves Folder into my game.
Now, when it comes to Restarts, of which I am the Queen, (she said with cheek) I keep copies of my families in My Library on the Gallery. I use MCCC among other mods. I detest the notion that while we're able to create an entire family in CAS, we can't set their skills. EA just an idea for the future, please let us set skills, even if it's randomized while in CAS. I have to use a mod for this. It's unconscionable to me that a set of parents (Adult) Sims have no skills. And their Teens and Child kids have none, as well. So, I will use MCCC to 'fix' this oversight, then put the family back in cas.fulleditmode and save them to My Library from there. I will mark them as SKL with or without an asterisk, so that I can find them at a glance. (Cuts down on the prep time, but only a bit.)
Then I will start a new save and either build them a lot, or select one I have in My Library. Then, since my main family is my Cantrell family, and the second kid is destined to become a famous Rock Star, I have to make certain there are venues in which he can strut his stuff, so to speak. This takes time. Newcrest is the default world for this. Eateries; lounges; karaoke bar; stages of both kinds — open-air or enclosed. I should really take the time to create a template town. (I've had to restart so many times, you would think this would already be done.) I just had to restart my RESTART, too. It helps that I have many of the needed venues in My Library so I just have to pop them in. It is still time-consuming, even so.
But, that's my gaming style.
