Hi, your save file looks amazing, but i don't have all the packs, will my townies be naked or something if i install it?

No, we are only using items from the packs that the worlds belong to. If you don't own the pack, those items are not gonna show up. HOWEVER the game may have created warm/cold outfits for original sims by itself while we were putting the sf together, and those can be missing. But you can easy replace them if needed!

[sofythesim]

hi, i love the save file but i’d like to download the builds separately because i don’t want to start over with my sims. what are the creators EA ID’s?

All ID's for each world are listed in the original blogpost!

[sofythesim]

can a Sims 4 save file be added to PS5 ??

Unfortunately not, but you can get most of the lots from the gallery under #TS4BetterTogether

[sofythesim]

is there a way for me to see how the lots look before downloading your save file? i also want to only download some lots and not the entire file, is that possible?

Check out #TS4BetterTogether on Instagram (mainly), Youtube, Twitter or TikTok and you'll see all the lots and each creators tag to download the ones you want :)

[sofythesim]

Really looking forward to trying this save file out. Such an amazing idea with fantastic builds! So a huge thank you.

I did notice when I installed it that it uses quite a few of the available kits, unless it’s a gallery bug? I don’t have any of those so fingers crossed there’s nothing removed that’ll cause issues 🤞

Hi! It's just a bug, you will not need any more packs than what you already have!

[sofythesim]

Needless to say I love everything about this save file! It's beautiful and really accentuates the individual worlds. But, I'm having trouble loading my households into the save, is there a way to merge two saves together?

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to merge two save files together :( What you can do is save your family to the gallery and then place them from there into the Better Together save. Hope that helps!

[sofythesim]

thank you!! thank you!! thank ALL of you!! the fact that its base game + also practical for people like me with all the packs is wilddd to me! Like, seriously.The save file is insaneee!! Please keep updating it with new packs that come out!!! Its that good.

Thank YOU for your kind words! We're super happy that so many are enjoying our save file <3

[sofythesim]

Not gonna lie, the save File is really nice. But for me as someone who has owns every pack, its not very useful. So there arent any restaurants because Dine Out didnt come with a world? So there's not going to be much for sims to DO in this save. Outside of gyms, lounges/parks.

Then this save file might not be for you, and that's ok! Our main goal with this sf was to give all the new players (since the base game became free for all) a nice world to start playing in, no matter how many or few packs they have. But if you have all packs you can always turn any of the existing builds into a restaurant, or make your own!

[sofythesim]

Hi! I love the builds you all did for the better together save file! I just had a question: I’m on console and I didn’t see the municipal muses museum nor the lilac cottage in the gallery. Do you know how I can find those?

Hi! If it’s not on the gallery, the creator probably haven’t uploaded it yet. Hopefully they will soon! Make sure to check out our hashtag #TS4BetterTogether to see all the creators and their builds.

[sofythesim]

I found your save file thanks to SatchOnSims. I gotta say it’s the best looking worlds save file I’ve ever downloaded. Thanks for sharing! And another special thanks to all the builders involved 💕💕

Thank you for your sweet comment! We all really appreciate the love and support we’ve got from the community. So happy that you like the save file! 🫶🏻

[sofythesim]

the better together save file looks gorgeous! just a question, are there sims the worlds? thank u!!!!

The original EA sims are still in the world (a few of them with a makeover), and then there are a couple of new families. But it’s focused on builds!

[sofythesim]

will i be able to play the better together save even if i don't have most of the stuff packs and kits? i would really love to explore but it warns me about a corrupted save when i load. thanks in advance!!

Yes! That’s the whole purpose of the save file – you don’t need ANY expansion, game, stuff packs or kits for it to work! I know it may give a warning, we had some issues with the game showing items from different packs on some lots even if they weren’t there… it’s not gonna affect the save file and it is safe to play even if you get that warning!

A Guide to The Sims 4 Save Files

Are you tired of your game looking the same way every time you start a new save? Same old, boring looking EA-built houses, EA-made families and lack of interesting story lines...

Well, then a save file might be exactly what you're looking for to spice up your game!

In this post I'll:

Teach you how to install a The Sims 4 save file

Let you know how you can create your own save file

And finally, share the save files I've been a part of.

How to install a The Sims 4 save file

The process of installing a save file to your The Sims 4 game is very simple.

Save files are usually shared on simfileshare or mediafire.

Just click the "Download" button (some websites have ads and other links, make sure you do not click on anything else to keep your computer safe).

After your download is completed, go to your Downloads folder and unzip the file. The file you'll need will usually be named something like "Slot_0000001a.save".

Generally your Sims 4 save files folder is located at: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves, but it can be located somewhere else if you changed it upon installing the game.

Locate your way to the Saves folder. And this is important:

Make sure to backup your old save files before installing a new one. You can do this by just copying the folder to your desktop.

Also make sure that you don't already have an existing file with the same name as the new save file (eg. "Slot_0000001a.save"). If you do, make sure to rename the new file before installing it (you can do this by changing one of the digits).

To install your new save file, all you have to do is to copy the "Slot_0000001a.save" file to your Saves folder. And you're done!

Now when you open your game and choose Load Game, you'll see your new installed save file as an option. Enjoy!

How to create your own The Sims 4 save file

Also, very simple. All you have to do is create a world, fill it with houses, new families, lore or what ever you want it to be in your own save file. Then: Save your game, and exit to the starting menu.

Click Load Game, and select your save file. Make sure to give it fitting name! Then hover over the little icon that says "Copy the save file path to the clipboard". This will tell you what the save files "Slot" name is in the Saves folder.

Go to your Saves folder (Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves) and find the correct file (eg. "Slot_0000001a.save"). Copy this file and paste it to a new folder on your desktop.

Zip the folder and upload it to any file sharing platform to share your own save file with the world!

Where can I find pre-made The Sims 4 save files?

I got you. Over my years of simming I've been a part of a couple of collaborative save files. Here are some of them:

Better Together Save File

Hosted by sofythesim, plummysims and simmerkhai.

160+ talented builders put their blood, sweat and tears into rebuilding every single lot in the game, including apartments and holiday worlds. Completely base game compatible and functional.

Hosted by Michaela Sims.

Christmas is without doubt my favorite holiday of the year. And if it is also yours you will love this save file, where we turned Windenburg in to a Winter Wonderland.

Check out pictures from the save file here, and download the Winter Wonderland save file here.

Love is in the Air Save File

Hosted by Michaela Sims.

Love is in the air in this Valentines day Save file! Here you'll find cozy coffee shops, romantic restaurants and pretty homes in Henford-on-Bagley and Mt. Komorebi.

Check out pictures from the save file here, and download the Love is in the Air save file here.
