I have a vanilla save game (took out all mods except MCCC and UI cheats) for this exact purpose. I did make a save file a few years ago by just downloading builds from the gallery, and it didn't take too long, but I've gotten better at building and wanted to try my hand at building my own save file.
So far I've only finished Willow Creek and a handful of lots in Oasis Springs. I also deleted all the premade sims except for the ones with specialty roles (Father Winter, Sages, etc), and have been populating the world with my own sims. I've even created extended family for some of them just so there will be more connection between worlds, so it's taking me awhile and I don't think I'll probably finish this save file until a few years after the Sims 4 ends :p
Tips?
- Start with one world and finish it before moving to another. If you jump around it can get confusing.
- If you plan on making your own sims, you can delete premades in the manage households panel by clicking the X in the right hand corner. Much easier than evicting.
- If you're going to download houses from the gallery, try to find a few builders you like and go through their catalogs to find what you like. This might help give your worlds a more unified look, if that's something you care about.
- If rebuilding the worlds becomes more chore than fun, go do something else for awhile. There are a lot of worlds now, so it's going to take awhile whether you download or build. Don't burn yourself out.
