    In the first menu you can choose the play button, this will load the previous save.

    You can choose load game, this gives you an option to select a save file to load.

    New game gives you the option to start a new save file, with a clean world. (Doesn't have to overwrite your previous creation)

    Save game saves the current game on the file you loaded.
    Save as saves the game with a custom name for when you might want to go back to the previous save. 

    You can start as many new saves, with different worlds as you want. If you save them with a clear name you'll be able to go back at any point.

    Does this make it any clearer?

Does every new save game have a blank page- no characters, no self made houses? is each save file like a separate game?

    @MyaNel2007  Each new save has the default EA-made townies, but it starts from scratch: none of the changes you've made in one save will show up in any others, including new ones.  So yes, each save file is an entirely separate save that progresses independently from all the others.

      So, I want to ask from this, I started a new game and just played it as a "New" World.  Thinking I could go back to the one I first started.  Is that possible to bring back up?  I do not know if I saved AS.  Confused.

      Thanks

        @SkyeAria If you saved the game, you should be able to play both, yes.

        Do you not have a load button on the menu ?
