How to start your own save file (+ LOTS of tips, advice & mods) by Amelie

Watch Video Here

1.Pick your save file

Empty Save (personal favorite)

Simlicy's Save

Lilsimsie's Save

2. Take inspiration from real worlds i.e. New Orleans for Willow Creek, New England for Brindleton Bay. Find a theme/style for each world to make it cohesive.

More examples would be:

San Sequoia | San Francisco

Windenburg | Germany & Austria

Sulani | Tahiti

San Myshuno | New York (atleast part of it)

Oasis Springs | Arizona

Henford on Bagley | English Countryside

Mt. Komorebi | Japan

Del Sol Valley | Los Angeles

Tartosa | Italy

3. Finding beautiful builds on the gallery | tips & showcase in video

Video of my favorite gallery builds

Some lots I have in my save file

My favorite gallery creators (scroll down)

4. Map Replacements

5. Tool Mod

Used to further customize your save file & add cars, trees, etc.

Can also be used to change apartment windows

Tutorial

6. No random townies Mod

Prevents the game from further spawning and generating townies

Make sure to have enough unemployed sims that can fill npc jobs such as waiters, baristas, etc.

7. Sim spawn overhaul Mod

Sims only show up in their own residential worlds

Adds realism and doesn't break immersion

Days of the Week Challenge

Feeling uninspired with your sims and looking for some strategic gameplay? Well I came up with this idea in the shower a few nights ago because being a daycare teacher has poisoned my mind with various songs to remember the days of the week! And now I present to you my first ever attempt at creating a sims challenge! (Go easy on me)

Welcome to the Days of the Week Challenge! A seven generation challenge where every sim is inspired by a different day of the week. 

Standard Rules: 

Absolutely no money cheats, build your sims from the ground up! 

Keep the lifespan on Normal. 

You must complete each heir’s aspiration, careers aren’t necessary unless stated otherwise.

If you miss something, just keep going! Have fun with it! 

Feel free to tweak this as you see fit (i.e. If there’s a trait or career you don’t have in your game, substitute for what best fits)

If you actually play this challenge, I wanna see your posts so please tag them with #dotwchallenge!

Generation One: Sunday

Sunday’s are all about relaxing and quality time with loved ones and that’s exactly what you’re all about! All you want out of life is to be surrounded by family and good food! It’s your job to grow your family and cooking skills to the max.

Traits: Foodie, Lazy, & Family Orientated

Aspiration: Big Happy Family

Career: No Career

Rules:

Throw a dinner party at home every Sunday.

Have four or more kids (with the same sim).

Master the Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Baking Skills.

Generation Two: Monday

Your family has always seemed to just take it easy but you’re different from the rest. You want to be successful and more importantly, filthy rich! If there was a workaholic trait you would have it, above everything your career and income come first.

Traits: Ambitious, Materialistic, Snob

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Career: Business or Politician (Politician Branch)

Rules:

Don’t have a significant other/spouse or have children until you’re an Adult.

Generation Four: Wednesday

Everybody loves Hump Day! Growing up as the middle child you didn’t get the attention you would have liked and because of that you seek attention from wherever you can get it.

Can’t go past level 4 in any career.

You’ve lived an interesting life to say the least, growing up with a single parent and a revolving door of lovers took a toll on you. You’ve always found solace in your writing though…and a bottle of juice. Your favorite day of the week has always been Thursday, mainly because of the Thirsty Thursday specials at your favorite bar.

Traits: Goofball, Evil, Genius

Aspiration: Chief of Mischief

Career: No Career

MOTION SICKNESS

following a dramatic scandal at the height of her career, amara seitz finds herself abandoned by her management in the middle of fuckin' nowhere ... aka the tight-knight village of henford-on-bagley.

with just herself, two very soggy suitcases, and her sphynx cat tiko, amara has gotta find her way for the spring...

AMARA SEITZ

high-maintenance | self-absorbed | music lover mt. komorebi native / del sol valley celeb

entry guidelines below the cut !!

recently i've been heavily inspired by @awkwardwhims 's bachelorette for fern, and have decided to tackle the idea with my own spin. this will definitely be a lot more story-based, and isn't outright a romantic challenge per se, BUT i am still calling for entrants / characters <3

guidlines: - any gender accepted - humans only normally I'm an advocate for all the occult, but alas not this time around - young adults preferred that being said I wanna fill up the world of henford, so if you'd rather make the little old lady that works a market stall as opposed to a love interest for amara, feel free ! - in-game traits only - backstories encouraged !!

- also completely optional, but i’d love to see a couple songs that represent your character <3 - cc allowed, but please keep it pretty minimal as my pc may be on the brink of a breakdown; also, please bare in mind there may be changes (default eyes/skin/etc.) - tag me in your entries !! alternatively, use the #amarasmotionsickness <3

As the heir to a family built on the love for winter and it’s traditions, you’ve always known your role: to continue your ancestors’ mission of preserving the eternal frost. But as the years go on, you’ve begun to question your destiny. You long for warmth, sun, and freedom from the cold. The decision weighs heavily on your heart:

Path 1: Frozen Protector Backstory: For generations, your family has served as stewards of winter—a lineage entrusted with keeping the delicate balance between the icy season’s beauty and its unforgiving harshness.
