Have the gurus ever justified why this limiting decision was implemented? It's inflexible and based on the assumption that everyone wants to create a new sim for their game.
Starting a new save should put you into the world first.
I agree that this may be limiting to some, BUT - unless I misunderstood- I disagree with the bolded part. That’s essentially doing the same thing: it limits those who prefer to create a household first.
Not all players are the same, so we really need more options, not just one.
Here’s my 2 rusty auld cents:
When starting a new save there should be a welcome screen with 3 prompts:
Create New Houshold - choosing this will open CAS.
Move in / Play with existing Household - choosing this will open the world/ neighborhood, giving the player an option to either move in a household from the library/ gallery or play with premades.
Build New- this option is for those who want to build / rebuild a world prior to moving in any sims.
This way you’re giving players with completely different interests a good mix of “start new save” features from existing sim titles and the freedom to choose between the 3 Sim Modes:
-CAS MODE
-LIVE MODE
-BUILD MODE
Depending on a player’s choice, other options could be prompted e.g. “play scenario” or “create sim based on story” etc., which is basically what’s available at the moment.
I can’t see this being Implemented in Sims 4 due to what @Oldeseadogge suggested, but hopefully this will be considered for the next ~ (cross platform yikes ?) ~ gen.
I'd be totally down for these options. They also work for existing games as well. Since I play with a quadrillion households, I don't always know how I feel like playing until I open my game and take a look. Sometimes I like to create a new household to add to my existing game, sometimes I want to jump in and play one of my many households, sometimes I want to do more "setup" and change lots around or switch them out. These options would cover all of my moods. Well...almost all...
*Cough* world editing *cough*.
