So glad a native new yorker approves :) Deep dive on the way!

omg you have me ICHING to open my game and create 😂 i need ur cc file omg you have such good cc.

When you were talking about getting sims to the unfunctional subway to play out the story in your head, it gave me flashbacks of how I used to play dolls as a little girl. And honestly I love that I can re-experience something like that with sims - let the imagination flow so freely and create my little stories. If only my loading screens didn't take like 10 minutes to load each time, I would probably do the subway idea as well. Honestly for me the building side of it is hard, and matching the whole town to have the same vibe is even harder though

Very good advice about taking breaks if you find yourself getting kind of bored or repetitive in the way that you build! I also tried to bring a bit of each Sims personality into their home, but not to the extent that you have. Honestly, this being the fifth time that I’ve built a safe file I know from experience that it would take me more than a year to finish it if I went into the amount of detail that you’re going into and I know that I will lose interest long before that. So I’m managing my own personality while creating my safe file… Lol. I love the subway… What a great idea and well executed. Where in the world did you find the escalators? I’m pretty sure they’re stairs, but I think that those are fantastic! Thanks for sharing basis for your current creation and I hope that you’ll share updates with us as well.

Thank you for such a wonderfully detailed comment! I know my detailing can be a little intense, I'm glad you've found a way to accommodate it for your own save. The escalator is from ATS4: sims4.aroundthesims3.com/objects/build_stairs_01.shtml they are stairs unfortunately, but still very cool looking! I look forward to sharing more :)

Hot tip/Mod suggestion - if you don’t like the debug builds that are in the background of the worlds/are just annoyed with the placement of some debug items, you can download the Blowtorch mod, it’ll get rid of any debug builds in the background of the world, giving you a fresh and clean space to decorate in your save file. I personally use it so i can decorate without having to work around the original debug item placement

Yes, there two ways that you can create copies of your save file that you can play in without altering the original. The long way that gives you easier in game access to your saves is; Once you've created your save file, make sure to rename it something so that you know it's the original copy that you don't want to touch or accidently save to. Something like DO NOT SAVE TO or DEFAULT etc. (Make a copy or two of this save file and save it to your desktop or new folder just in case your save corrupts or you accidently overwrite it) The go into this save file and before you start playing in it, hit the options button and click SAVE AS. This will bring up the save options menu. Click the new save option and this will create a copy of your save that has a different save file number than your original save. Rename this save so you can tell the difference between this and your OG copy. You can do this for each new save/game you want to play as long as you don't accidently play in the save file you've marked not to save to. It will copy the save you're playing in when clicking Save As. So for example, if you've made a copy of your OG save file and changed it but want to start a new game based on your unplayed world, you will have to make sure you enter your OG gameplay save file and save as from there. Otherwise, any new save will be a copy of the world you've already started playing in. (You can also use the copy the save file and save it to desktop/an outside folder method by itself but the risk is that another save might take up the same save number and you'll have to drag saves in an out because you can't have two with the save number in your saves folder without overwriting one)

first and foremost, AMAZING save file like I’m genuinely in awe with what so many simmers are able to do with this game. I have a question! What are your PC specs? Because I have a gaming laptop but my game lags a decent bit. It’s not unplayable but I really don’t wanna start from scratch with mods and cc 😭
