Re: No room to save new households

Hi

Thank you for your reply. It is difficult to describe but for example we have a character who is living with another person as an elder, there is another games save with his younger self who lives on his own and another of his other self who is also an elder but lives alone. This may be a problem that we have created!

The main problem is that in all game saves we have a small amount of Sims, mostly the same ones over, but we are not able to save any new families even though our maximum sim amount should be 150.

Many thanks

@WolfDog127R So basically you can't place more families in your save game ? Are you getting an error message when trying to do so ?

Save games are not connected with each other so what you do in one save, shouldn't affect the other save.

Hi

Yes, that’s right we cannot add more families. There is no error message. We click save and exit on a household we have just made and we scroll down our saved households where there should be a place to name and save a new household but there isn’t.

Thank you

Hi Crin

I see what you mean. But we cannot seem to add people to a saved game either. We did what you said, and if we try to save them as we did before it overwrites the sim family that was there before. If we try to auto save them they will stay until we do another auto save and then they get overwritten too. 

I don’t understand why it says you can have up to 150 sims on each game save but we only seem to be able to save one household! Please tell me if I am just being stupid but I can’t figure this out!

Many thanks for your patience and help.

Hi Crin

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

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
