I know in the old save there were a lot of duplicate files with D1 in the name. I use a program that detects errors and duplicates in the Sims 4 mod folder. I don't know if i am allowed to share it on here or not. It is basically a mod conflict detector. 

Can you share this , I am migrated some my old CC into this save , I used Duplicate file finder but still when I open S4 try importer , I multiple copy of same file(some in merged, some hove lower size than other , & some exactly same) in pretty much every saved sims . my current mode folder size is 38 GB  trying to reduce it .

I don't know how you manage to do it, but you gave Karen McFadden a bunch of random siblings again. I found this when I looked at Jason and he had no family, so I went to investigate. Karen has switched from being Brian's sister to Clara's. I also noticed that some relationships have been set across marriages which the game does not handle well. Cody/Natalie and Samantha are cousins (when they really should have Jason as a common cousin instead) and Geoffrey Landgraab and Mimi are uncle/niece when she is Nancy's brother's daughter.

Big fat errors for me (according to mcc(?) and better exceptions). Bigger than this lady's tits and that's saying something. I wonder if the others who install the save the first time ever have the same problem?  @j27f1981,  maybe there is a file missing that was not packed by mistake so the newbies dont have it? whatever, no version of this mod works for me at all, at least in this save file where I tested it... So long the problem is just this one mod, I can fortunately live well without it

Had to uninstall the, Simdulgence piercing script and package file to stop the LE's on my end. Haven't had an LE since I removed them.

[camh_s4]

Man, great work on this re-build. I played it for a couple of hours tonight, and it's working great so far. The only thing that bugged was the Simdulgence piercings, which I removed. A save file this big is not easy to manage, and it's an incredible feat that you were able to re-create such a stable version from the previous one (due to EA's stupidity in HSY and beyond). So, thank you.

 

Also, I know you listed Home Regions and Language Barriers as optional... but they really make the spirit of this world pop out dramatically. I'd highly recommend both those mods to anyone considering playing the save.

Which is strange because I get word from some people that it causes issues and some that it doesn't. It also hasn't caused issues for me.

I'm glad. From now on we're gonna work on bigger and beefier updates that may take a bit longer but will have enough content to actually make starting over worth it. Unless we accidentally upload something seriously borked and need to put out a quick fix.

It's not some people's cup of tea but it does make each neighborhood unique.

 

It has an updated feature that allows individual sims to travel in between places. So a lot of sims that may have moved from one area to the other can travel to see their parents and there's also the lot trait that I put that allows me to mark something as an international stopping point. Like big museums, meeting centers, and venues.

Wow I've been looking for an excuse to get back into the game and here it is! I am actually looking forward to setting up my mod archive. What DLC is recommended to get the most out of this build?

All of it. Although I've done my best to keep Realm of Magic, Werewolves, and Journey to Battu self contained.

 

Edit: No kits have been used and they never will be used.

Congratulations on getting this update completed. Yea I know want I said previously but I'll admit that I've been wanting this. I miss slutty Nancy, Bella, Summer......the list go on.

So thank you for your hard work, considering the updates over the last year it must have been a daunting task!

 

I have had problems with Simdulgence piercings in the past. Game crashing problems. 

 

As per people looking for duplicate files, mccc should print a list of installed mods and also point to their duplicates.

 

@Jughandle: I've always wanted to learn that program, are there any resources you'd recommend. TIA  Forget this please I know how to RTFM and use a search engine, I'm not a lazy fuck, really I'm not

First of all a massive thank you to all involved in creating this save, a mighty feat indeed. My question is how do people generally play this save. Do you create a new character or play as one of the existing sims and if so who is a good sim to play so you can be in the centre of the action and well connected with others. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You have no fucking idea how many times I came close to just giving up. Though seeing how happy people are with this update, aside from some issues, has me working on the next major update.

It's so weird because we haven't been able to replicate this issue. I'm just gonna put a warning up on the front page or something.

My advise is create a self insert and go to town. Put lifespans to max and turn on aging. Just enjoy yourself, banging hot people and seeing how things progress. We did set up all the CC to disable for random sims so you won't see any wonky clothing upon age up and stuff.

 

However if you want a list of sims with super unique experiences?

 

The Smith Family in Newcrest. Just replicate Summer Time Saga. You can find a ton of suggestions in fluff mods to make teen gameplay easier and more exciting. Googling for stuff not listed will also help.

 

Despite Rockwell himself not being in the game yet, the Party House with Thalia, Alexis, and Tracy are good.

 

Playing as the Alto crime family is also fleshed out. Either as the Bert being the leader of the mafia or Alfonso's strip club.

 

Linnie and Candace quitting their jobs as strippers to follow better career options such as Linnie becoming a mechanic is popular.

 

You can recreate several Sims 2 scenarios in Oasis Springs. Don Lothario's wall of photos is a good quest where you bang and then take a photo of your conquest to add to the wall.

 

There's also Jayde in San Myshuno. We haven't fully implemented all crews, we'll get there eventually, but there's still enough content for Jayde to get to know all the members of each crew and become Queen of the City.

You can find a bunch of other ideas in I believe the second post of this thread.

In the "lore" Evergreen Harbor, San Myshuno, and the new world that recently came out are one city. So I set a lot of people to freely travel between the three. Newcrest is supposed to be a neighborhood outside city limits. Think back to Sims 2 Neighborhood and Downtown dynamic.

 

Same with Oasis Springs and Del Sol Valley.

 

I set up a bunch of connections between the three supernatural worlds since they do have a lore of interconnectedness.

 

I also put the "international hub" trait on various lots that would make sense for tourists to visit.

 

Some Hispanic sims will travel to Severaldo to visit family.

 

It should be relatively realistic.

 

Not everyone is accounted for but I'm getting there eventually.

I give up. I've tried fixing this and it just won't go away. No matter how many times I delete the relationships, it just comes back. So sorry, you'll have to accept the weird family tree. ?

Thank you for the ideas, and once again thanks for the save it's great.

Hey, I just tried deleting the relationships and got it to work. There was the mod that came out a while ago for family-based cheats. Hasn't been updated in a hot minute, but i threw it on my game (version 1.96.397.1020) and was able to delete all of her relationships. Saved, exited out, re-opened the test save, and they were all gone.

 

Mod - https://sims4famcheats.tumblr.com/

 

Its got a bunch of different instructions here, but I ran the code below and it removed all her relationships except for her husband:

 

famclear karen mcfadden except_partners

Give that a shot. Just note that the way its coded will take off everything, so if you want to run it on other Sims that have kids, parents, spouses, etc., peep the documentation for the specific module here. You can write out the relationships on Notepad or something then just paste them in.

 

Hope this helps lol.

For me, I'm a bit of an amateur writer, so I have an entire storyline planned out for my own Sims, an extremely long one. I use the Sims in this save as set dressing. It's very useful for any scene I need that requires a public setting and it's much better than ugly random townies. 

 

However, if I didn't have the story, I'd probably use one of my own Sims and probably have him work towards making him a super successful CEO, collecting a lot of numbers from women so he has a lot of sexual partners, as well as making him a drug dealer with Basemental.

I'm not exactly a newbie to this save, but I never noticed any problems with the piercings either. Are the LEs caused by using them on a Sim or just them being installed? I haven't used them on any of my households. That said, Simdulgence's content is known for causing LEs (at least in my experience), so it's not unexpected. I'll remove them too just in case.

[flopcity22]

Ah, okay! So other than Newcrest, you set up the travel exceptions on a person by person basis, while everything else is separated.

Regarding Jason's mom and aunt being related to random sims... I fixed this in my game. But it's A LOT of work. 

 

There are some important notes: You can't do this with just MCCC and cas.fulleditmode anymore. The reason (I believe) is Growing Together did something odd with the Relationship bits. For this reason, MCCC can't seem to "undo" some of the Rel Bits. So it might be easier to just wait for a future MCCC update where the Rel Bits are addressed, instead of doing the clusterfuck that I'm describing below:

 

Since MCCC and and cas.fulleditmode are somewhat borked, you have to use the Tray to re-load some sims.

 

-I suggest leaving Vera Gonzales alone because she has the most complex relationships among these sims.

 

-Also, save/backup along the way if you decide to replicate this, as there are many steps involving multiple households. 

 

-I targeted the sims with the least complex relationships first... the Kapoors (Ajay, Kareem, Salman), Angela Patel, and Zoe Patel. These sims are mainly homeless NPCs. I copied them to Tray and deleted the ones in the save, then put them back from the Tray into the save.

 

-Then I did the same for Ollie (Willow Creek) and Cassidy Purdue (homeless). When I put them back from the Tray, I used cas.fulleditmode to edit their relationship with Babs and the kids. I put them back in their clubs. 

 

-Then I saved Jason's mom (Karen McFadden in Willow Creek) alone into the Tray and deleted her from the save.

 

-I moved Jason (from DelSol) into his dad's house (Francis McFadden in Willow Creek), along with Jason's uncle on his mom's side (Brian McPherson in Willow Creek).  I opened them with cas.fulleditmode on and added Karen from the Tray. I edited all their relationships accordingly: Francis married to Karen, Jason is their son, and Brian McPherson is Karen's brother (automatically making him Jason's uncle).

 

-This leaves only Clara McPherson related to Vera Gonzales. Everyone above has been fixed.

 

-Ok, here's where I got lazy, and said "Fuck this shit, bro". I could not get Clara McPherson to work, so she is still related to Vera. When I saved her and moved her back from the Tray, I could not edit her relationships to her kids even with cas.fulleditmode.  I only had the option to make her their fiancee (yuck). So this is where I stopped and decided to leave Clara as Vera's sister. Because I sure as hell am not editing Vera (due to the reason at the top of this post).

 

This probably took me like 3 hours to do because I was trying very hard not to screw up. And in the end I could not get it 100% correct. But close enough.

Also, I'm not suggesting anyone try this, unless they want to. But this was the solution that worked for me, so here it is.

Just them being installed. its really weird ?

My issue is they've done too good of a job. i want to play in oasis springs but every lot is detailed and well built, as well as occupied, and i dont have the heart to remove anyone.

Also any advice how to make characters i create feel as alive? Hobby mod/relations?

I choose hobbies based off the sim's aspiration and traits. Occasionally skills if they're sent to me.
