How to start a save file in the sims 4

hello guys and welcome back to the channel or to the channel if you are new um so as you can kind of tell by the title I am starting my ignore this by the way I filmed a duplex video but I'm probably not going to keep it in the world cuz I don't know how big of a fan I am of it so we'll see if I keep it maybe I'll renovate it a bit but um I deleted every single lot uh new Crest was already bulldozed I don't know why I showed you that I deleted every single lot in every single world except for some that I wanted to keep and that is because I'm starting to create a realistic save file I'm very excited I've created a lot for it already not in the sense of building so far but when we go into here I have a Notions template that has literally every world and every world is currently I won't show you all cuz I don't want to spoil but every world so far is mapped out for what I want want like I want a big Park I want a cafe and Library I want a gym and Spar and a restaurant and vet shop vet pet shop and apartments like that's the kind of thing I want you can tell a lot of things are like multiples like there's duplexes and then there's two different lots and that's because we don't have a lot of like different Lots in each world so I wanted to double over and that way it kind of makes it worth it going to a lot so you can change it up as you please but I did this for every single one so we can go to like Oasis Springs and we can see that we have like a '90s diner a gas station and restaurant bowling alley Arcade and Bar like so I have everything written down and I have little descriptions and I have ideas of what I'm going to do and I'm so so excited to take you guys along for the journey so I thought today I would just explain kind of how I went about starting this so that if you want to do it or if you want to help me we can do it together uh because I would love some help I would love suggestions builds families ideas like all of that is so so welcome for this safe file I really want it to be a community project so I started by like kind of just writing like a description of what I imagine everything to be where I want everything to go what worlds um I want and like what they're going to be like what their Aesthetics are going to be like what kind of builds I'm going to have in them and then I bulldo every lot and so if you didn't know how to I just sounded so austral if you didn't know um if you don't know how to create a save file what you do is you can just go to a new game and you can just build any Sim when it wants to load no and you can just build put random traits if you don't care about the Sim I usually just create a random person and then I just delete them later so I just create like a random person I go into a save and then it's a new save and this new save can be your save file that you're working on and so now you're in you can pick a season I like to pick spring cuz to me that's like I don't know the start of the year is it the start of the year not for me but um in my head it's just the start of everything good so I kind of bulldo every lot once I place someone I'll place them and then I'll bulldoze every lot evict any Sims I don't care about and delete them if I don't want them in my game and then I will start mapping out what like you know say oh I want this to be a duplex I don't want this to be a house so I don't want this to be a nightclub I want it to be a museum and you can write it down and you can keep it in your head or you can just set the lot type like that so when your head you know that's what it's meant to be and then you can start building it so I like to think of things when I think of Aesthetics like what is it meant to be like this is meant to be New Orleans so in my head I'm going to work off that aesthetic and those houses and Sims who live here are predominantly going to look like they're from New Orleans so if we go to mount kabi in my head everyone he is from like Japan or like Asia I mean that's the same thing but like I mean like they're predominantly from Japan in Asia or like just an Asian theme in general in my head that's kind of what this was inspired by when the Sims creators made it so then I would go okay most Sims here are going to be from like look like they're from Japan and then maybe there'll be a few people who don't look like they're from Japan cuz they came from different places or they decided to move here cuz that's also something that happens in real life of course and then I would do that and basically what you can do to remove Sims so I'll just place this guy down he's going to live in forgotten Hollow and probably going to get eaten by vampires but that is okay cuz I do not care so so we're going to place him down and then what I immediately do after getting into a save is I will just save and go to manage world you don't have to save but I always do I just think it's like a good habit to have cuz Sims loves to crash and then you go into this little like person tab here and you can just click the X and it will just straight up delete the Sim cuz I don't care about him and then I might go these roomies guys I don't want them in my save this save is a 70s save we're inspiring off 70s so everyone here is either getting removed or getting a 70s makeover and I love the Goths too much so we're keeping them but we're going to definitely delete the land grabs because they're little dirty little money scums so you might want to remove someone and you might want to say may whiskers stays but he's going to be part of my family so you can move them into your households even like you can do stuff like that and then you can evict people by going to this evict button down here so when you click on a house you get these three dots and you can say Vlad you're out of here screw you get out and then the way you bulldoze a lot cuz you want to bulldoze any Lots you want to renovate or you want to change because you're like this house too ugly doesn't fit my 70s Vibes right so you're going to go into the builds and when you go into the build you have to sit through a loading screen obviously but then when you're done you just go up here to this little section up here and there's like this bulldoze part and you can just bulldoze the lot and then after a moment it'll be deleted and then you can just take away the terrain and then you can build whatever house you desire so that's kind of the basics of how to start your save file pretty pretty easy uh nothing fancy nothing fancy at all and if you don't have every world obviously you can just choose to like maybe you just want to make a base game save file with these three whatever it is that's how you do it it's really really simple I promise or you might decide you want to take bills from the gallery that is of course totally fine but if you're going to share it make sure to get people's permission because you don't want to be uploading their builds especially without their like recognition so if you're going to build a save file based on other people's builds make sure you either get their explicit permission or don't upload it that's what I would say um and yeah that's basically all you need to know don't forget about the destination worlds either you can forget about between that world sucks but yeah that's basically all you need to know about starting a save file and I'll update you guys as I go along to completing mine thanks for watching bye
