PORTSIM SAVE FILE 1.1

behind the glitz and glamour of the valley lies something much darker. starlight boulevard is littered with trash and reeks of piss. the homelessness crisis is the worst it's ever been. drug epidemics, murder, and other crimes run rampant through the smog filled city. this is the real del sol valley. do you have what it takes to make it out here?

CONTENT WARNING: storylines involving drug use & violence

download + info under the cut

watch my save file overview on youtube

everything from 1.0 included

there’s a no cc version + the lit version (requires minimal cc and basemental drugs + wicked whims)

del sol valley remade into a dirtier, more realistic city inspired by los angeles and gta 5

i own all packs and kits, i won’t be answering any questions regarding pack requirements! the answer is all of them! you can still play in the save but lots will have missing objects, and sims will be missing clothes

31 new sims made by me + more sims from people using the #florwaltownies tag - working on making a del sol townie index so i can go more in depth on the townie’s backstories

5 residential lots (3 are multi-family) + 3 community lots

2 new clubs - mirage menaces, a street gang and third chances, a support group for ex criminals

readable journal entries from some of the townies (portsim + del sol) included in the lit version

updated almost every townie with the new family dynamics, sim characteristics, and conversation topics system from the growing together ep

included a few new builds in oasis springs, but only 1 house household lives there and the world is about halfway finished

notes:

highly suggest viewing 1.0’s info post to learn more about the save + the city of portsim, which is the first city i created for the save file

Chapter One: A Place to Call Home

Millhaven had been Lyla's home for as long as she could remember, but it was only recently that she had found herself without a home. Tragic circumstances had lead the seventeen year old girl to the entrance of the trailer park with nothing but the ratty and torn clothes on her back and her entire life savings - a whole 500 dollars - in the back pocket of her cargo pants, and she wasn't even sure if she would be able to afford the rent in this place. Anything had to be better than where she was coming from, and she wouldn't go back there - not for anything in the world.

"It looks like there is someone inside the office.", Lyla thought to herself, as she peered over her shoulder, trying to gather the courage to approach the office. She knew that she had to do this, and the truth was that she didn't have a choice. She had to take care of herself, because no one else was going to do that for her. Her mother was gone, and there was nothing she could do to change that reality.

As Lyla made her way towards the little building by the front entrance, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with the anxiety of her new life. She would have thought she would have been more prepared for this. Mama had been sick for a long time. It should have been such a relief that she didn't have to suffer anymore. But, the reality was that she had been taking care of her mother for so long that she hadn't really ever learned how to take care of herself. She had always been a fast learner, however, and she knew she would tackle this situation head on.

"Breathe, Lyla. Everything is going to be okay.", she said to herself as she approached the front door, knocking gently.

"Come in.", the gruff voice called out from the other side, and she took them up on the offer, doing everything in her power to remain calm despite the chaos that raged inside her mind and her heart.

V.1: Silent Pines, 1998 Special Credit: Silent Pines is heavily inspired by and uses a very similar style to the stunning @windbrook savefile by @folkling, the gorgeous portsim savefile by @florwal, and the amazing builds by @moonwoodmillz. Thank you all for your hard work, I take a lot of inspiration from you all. Silent Pines is a base-game only save file inspired by Life is Strange with 3 major worlds, a whole new set of townies, and a complete mystery to solve.

Version 1 contains;

Willow Creek as Silent Pines

13 Community Lots

3 move-in ready homes for your sims

A total of 9 houses, 6 of which are filled with townies

18 households with jobs, story, and drama

A complete mystery to solve (should you want to)

DOWNLOAD, INFO, AND SCREENSHOTS BELOW

I used S4Studio to rename all the worlds, and I've decorated all the neighbourhoods with T.O.O.L. As I said before, Silent Pines is completely base-game friendly, absolutely no packs or kits are used. There is some custom CC, mainly posters that add to the story. The CC is one package file and adds nothing other than some customisation to the story. It is not required.

For example the missing poster of Cleo Emerson, a girl who disappeared under mysterious circumstances;

SPECIAL THANKS Thank you to my beta testers @theemodernsim, @authorspirit, @acuar-io, @aridridge for all your help! You've been amazing and I really am very grateful. And thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged, followed, and generally supported Silent Pines. It means the world to me to be able to share my work with people!

DISCLAIMER: There have been reports of the 'build mode item missing' message popping up, especially in the downtown area. I've tried to fix this to the best of my ability, and I hope it's alright! Also, if there is anything I should fix or have left out, please let me know. Thank you for your patience <3

ALSO: Due to the Sims 4 being a broken game, I really don't recommend playing Silent Pines with Rental Units, in case the T.O.O.L objects up and disappear lol.

Silent Pines is heavily inspired by Life is Strange, the Windbrook save file, florwalsims' Portsim save file, as well as the hazy nostalgia of the late 90s and early 2000s. I hope to see you all soon for V.2!

The Mystery Update A more comprehensive outline for this update will be coming soon, but essentially it will contain;

Hopefully the fixed Harris household

More mystery clues to make the mystery more engaging and easier to solve

Better and complete lot descriptions

Love from, Silent Pines.

PortSim Newcomer

you will have to have include custom content checked for her to show (even though she isnt using any)

**Constance Simmons Sim Download**

Due to file preview image will be listed as CC in gallery

i was fucking around in the portsim save and realised my game version is too old and would end up breaking it so im updating my game at 2 am to start from scratch

[softietrait]

want to do a sim rendition of a thai bl i watched and really loved - but a rendition of the drama itself and not the novel..however, it still could be very triggering. what do you guys think? of course i'd never actually show triggering scenes but the premise behind it would be brought up in some way a lot - so it's like :"( idk! right now i'm working on my portsim save and updates. im just goign through a lot right now.

CONSOLE PLAYERS: i just uploaded every household + build from the portsim save file to the gallery (florwalsims)

all households have descriptions

all lot uploads have lot placement info in the comments

the county apartments lot is marked as modded even though my mods folder wasn’t in the game/there’s no gallery art - idk why it’s doing it but there’s an older version of the lot if u scroll down my gallery profile

i also uploaded the cc versions of builds from the lit version just in case anybody wants them

[florwal]

(03/01/23) i had to create a new link for the lit version (newer file is Slot 00000077.save) a couple weeks ago, if it says the file is deleted it’s because ur on an old version of the post

PORTSIM SAVE FILE 1.0

portsim is a small city in the south. it was established as a town in 1752, and the current population is 97,915. it's full of history and has a lot of culture. with increasing poverty rates, gang violence, and a drug epidemic, crime is at an all time high. will the city’s new mayor be able to make portsim a safer place?

CONTENT WARNING: storylines involving drug use & violence

4 months in the making and it’s finally here! huge thank you to everyone that’s been following me through the process. ♡ y’all are so kind and supportive and i really appreciate all the love. this was originally going to be a personal save, it’s inspired by my hometown (portsmouth, virginia) most builds are based off real places around me, and some households are based off my friends and family. this is very much still personal to me!

willow creek, newcrest, and magnolia promenade have been rebuilt, repopulated, and transformed into one large town

i own all packs and kits, if you don't you can still play this save but build and cas objects will be missing

check out the portsim townie index (wip) to read their bios and keep up with their stories. some already have posts but some are empty, i’ll be adding more as i play

21 residential lots / 19 community lots - please read community lot descriptions because most are multi functional! i also left some empty commercial spaces that are “for lease” so i can add things as new packs come out

added new holidays - i changed names to be more realistic and added a few (spring cleaning day, easter, independence day, halloween, christmas eve)

added 5 new clubs (city officials, a gang, a cult, a record label, painting classes by a townie)

notes:

view update log here

i’ve never made a save file before, and this is just the first version. please let me know if you run into any issues. i want to eventually add more households, and i also want to add + rebuild other worlds

i highly suggest turning the eco lifestyle ep’s eco foot print + npc voting off, unless you want the town to look apocalyptic and the trinity church community space to be set to the winter version during summer etc

i turned neighborhood stories off, but sims were still adopting babies and divorcing each other so i kept them all in the my households tab, you don’t have to keep them there!

shoutout to @cowplant-snacks and @nightlioness for letting me use some of their sims as background townies so there's not as many ugly npcs

next world that’s going to be added: oasis springs + del sol valley - idk which one will be out first! but they're coming soon ♡

Silent Pines, 1998

Hey everyone! Welcome to Silent Pines, a base-game save file consisting of the 3 major worlds, a whole new set of townies, and a complete mystery to solve.

While I'm still working on it, I wanted to share what I have of Silent Pines so far. The world consists of;

Willow Creek as Silent Pines

Oasis Springs as Eclipse

Newcrest as Twilight Bay

I used S4Studio to rename all the worlds, and I've been decorating all the neighbourhoods with T.O.O.L. As I said before, Silent Pines is completely base-game friendly, absolutely no packs or kits are used. There is some custom CC, mainly posters that add to the story. The CC is one package file and adds nothing other than some customisation to the story. It is not required.

Silent Pines is heavily inspired by Life is Strange, the Windbrook save file, florwalsims' Portsim save file, as well as the hazy nostalgia of the late 90s and early 2000s. I'll update you all as I finish builds, and I hope I can get the first version of Silent Pines up soon!

Love from, Silent Pines.

my save file downloads

disclaimer: i haven’t updated these for a while

unfortunately as ts4 adds more buggy updates and broken packs, older saves get messed up. there’s definitely some issues with both of the saves but they’re still technically playable.

just to be safe, i’d make backups of any households and builds you create in them.

*my youtube has complete save file overviews*
