With all the packs I am feeling a bit like Old Mother Hubbard with too much to do. I'm going to have to stop buying sometime as I haven't got time to do everything.
I just hope it'll be an expansion that I can use the contents of in all the worlds. I'm using all the StrangerVille stuff in Oasis Springs and Sulani for example as I don't like the StrangerVille world much and the Get Famous stuff too as I'm not fond of that actual world either but love the objects and building stuff.
I'm working on a new template save; I used the cheat to complete the Strangerville scenario, then I moved the Eclectic Arts household (my favorite from that pack) to an apartment in the San Myshuno Arts Quarter and deleted the rest of the premades in that world. I'm going to use it as a retirement town for elders when I no longer actively play them but I don't want them consigned to Not In World. I've also got a cool museum I found on the Gallery all about the Strangerville story, plus my Latin-themed restaurant. I'm going to replace most of the houses with smaller 1-story places, probably midcentury themed. Might play one family there, a teen taking care of his elderly grandparents, then when he ages to YA send him off to University.
I moved Eclectic Arts household to a bunker in Oasis Springs as they are a likeable lot when recovered from that sickness! I copied that Bridlington museum to Willow Creek, making it Tudor Style, changing the contents and with one of the public toilets in the gardens around it Club Calico makes a very good lounge in Oasis Springs too with a desert style refurbishment.
I always save the Community Lots to My Library first thing after getting an expansion as it saves time filling empty worlds. I download them and change them around a bit or download unfurnished to put new stuff in.
I'm hoping that the new expansion will bring a lot of mix and match with it too, fully useable in all worlds not like Eco Lifestyle
Having everything makes it so easy to mix and match then.
I have one save that is just a single Sim and everything the same as when the packs were installed -- I can go to that save, copy the lot, then go to my Test Save (where I try out new content and see if mods are still working) and do my remodeling. I also use that save for when I download houses from the Gallery to see if there are routing errors, especially if a lot of MOO is involved (there was one house that had so much MOO that the Sims couldn't even use the front door to get in!) or if something was left out like a bathroom door. :D
