I just built a template save that turned out to be really really buggy. Haven’t played it much at all. Not so keen on doing that again.
So I am just going to use the system I already have in place. A specific tray-folder for every world. That gives me the lots that I can place, depending on what I want that area to be during the current save. Households that should be added to the game. Which households that gets an actual house will probably vary depending on save.
? do you know why it got buggy?
Sorry for the ignorance but what is a tray folder and how do you do it?
No idea why that save got so buggy but I have been very fortunate with several other save that have worked fine for years so it's not so bad. I just took my main household and left for a new save.
Tray-folder.

When you save a room, or a lot or a household to your own little Gallery all those things end up in a Tray-folder. That is the big file that keeps all your stuff. If you're a collector like me you end up with a very veery big folder in the end. However, if you take out one Tray-folder the game will make a new one that is empty. Now there are other folders marked, but I did not have a pic of the Tray folders placement at hand so I used one that was already available.

I have one big folder on my desktop, that is backed up, with different tray folders in them. So everytime I start the game I look what kind of Tray folder, or library, I would like to look at that time. Then I place that Tray folder in the folder for the game so I can access the items in it. I play a game that has quite a bit of mods and CC in it. So I can go long stretches of time without access to the internet and the big Gallery. So I have hoarded a bunch of lots that I liked and have a big dragonpile of them in the way of folders. I just like collecting things so this feels easy for me.
