    No we haven’t solved this. We have 10 saved households. Is that as much as we can have? We have tried adding other households to other houses in our saved games but there seems to be no space to save them. If you can tell us if we can do that and how we can do that it would be really helpful.

    Many thanks

  • Hi Crin

    i am sorry. I am a mum at the limit of my technical knowledge! If we had someone to tell us how to do it then I could check that it is being done properly. I don’t know how a picture could explain what we can’t do. I wouldn’t know what to take a picture of, which is why we were stumped before when you asked for pictures.

    Many thanks

    @WolfDog127R I'm not exactly sure how it work on XB1 but you could always just use your phone and take a picture of what's on your screen.

    Like show the screen of where you can't add more than 10
  • Hi

    But I understand that there are only 10 game saves available on Xbox 1 so it wouldn’t help you or me. That is where we were trying to add new households before. Now I need to understand if there is space to save additional households on the same game save and how to do it. If you can’t do that, then my question is answered but it says you can have up to 150 sims. 
    thanks

    @WolfDog127R

    You can have as many households per save game as you like (or as there is room).

    The 150 limit is for Sims save from culling. So you can have up to 150 Sims in my households which makes makes them save from culling

    So basically do this

    1. Load one of your saves you want to add a new housheold to

    2. Make sure you don't click on any household (if there is already one selected, click anywhere on the map that's not a house, that should unselect or select a house that has no one living there

    3. In the lower right corner you see an icon of a little Sim. Click on that (see picture)

    4. This will take you to CAS to create a new household

    Or

    1. Load any house in the neighborhood you want Sims to move into and then click on the empty house and choose: Move in household from Gallery (see Pic 2)

    This way you can add any household from the gallery or your library
