I'm a bit unsure if I understand your issue. Why do you wanna keep every state of a certain game ? Once you've played on, why would you need the older state unless something important happend at that point ?
I might need to look at this again to understand what your issue is.
i thought my response was pretty clear.
there are countless reasons why you may want/need to revert back to an old save (that you didn't specifically "name" as important at the time. (bug testing this game would be a fine example...)
i'm not asking the game to permanently save the game every x minutes (auto save) and keep a permanent record of those.
i am asking that any time i manually save, it be permanent.
and that manually saving should not require me to name the save in order for it to reach that permanent state.
this is how most pc games work.
thus why all the outrage here with sims 4, when people find out only after they've lost many saves in sims 4 after they learn this game doesn't work like that... for whatever reason... it's just bound to happen to everyone who buys this game.
I'm not native english speaking so sometimes I do have trouble understanding.
So what you're asking for is that instead of just keep 5 vesions (save.ver0-4), you want it to keep every single save you ever made manually, right ? So you basically want save.ver0-infinity.
Then you should post that in the feedback thread here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/776344/the-sims-4-feedback-thread-come-share-yours cause it's not a bug, it's how it's designed to work.
well can you move this thread to the proper section? rather than having me repeat myself?
No I can't cause it's a different forum.
I'll move this over to the general board and you could just make a report in the feedback thread as well, just linking this thread instead of repeating everything.
Would that work for you ?
Hi I just read this thread and am boggled at how rude the asker was to the volunteer giving up their time to help.
Crinrict, whoever you are, thank you on behalf of the rude person asking the questions for taking the time to try and answer their query - and for being so patient in the face of their bad manners.
I have the same question - how do I create more than 5 save slots - because my kids have created a number of different games and don't want to lose any of them, but I'd also like to try the game without accidentally deleting one of their saved games (which happened before, when I saved it wrote over the last game on the list) So now we really only have 4 save slots. Seems too few. How do I increase it?
Happy Simming 🙂
Thank you :D
If you use save as instead of save, you can name the save. That way your save gets a new number and your kids ones are save.
If you start a new game from the main menu, this should automatically happen. Unless you actually load your kids save (click on the big play button), you'll have your own and your own backup slots.
I would also recommend regular backups: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/backups/
