๐Ÿ“– The story

Your save grows with the game. Every time a new pack drops, a fresh Sim is born into your world built entirely around it โ€” a living, evolving timeline of the game's expansion, one new life per release.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Start a **fresh Sim built around each pack the moment it releases**, so your save evolves with the game.

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • In one ongoing save, every time a new pack launches, create and play a Sim themed to it.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Each new pack triggers a new themed Sim.
  • That Sim's life centres on the new pack's features.
  • The save accumulates these lives over time.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Create the themed Sim soon after the pack releases.
  • Complete the new pack's headline feature with them.
  • Keep all the lives in one evolving save.

โœ… What you can do

  • Create a fresh Sim built around each new pack the moment it releases; keep them in one save; use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Start the new Sim when the pack drops, not before.
  • Build each one around the new pack and let the save evolve.

๐ŸŽฎ If you don't own the packs

Forward-looking โ€” no pack is needed to start the habit; it simply shapes how you play each new release.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Keep the new Sims in a shared world so your save becomes a living museum of the game's growth.
  • Dive into each pack's headline feature first while it's fresh and you're keen.
  • Let earlier themed Sims age and interact, so the save feels like one connected community.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Tie every new Sim into the existing families (marriages, friendships) rather than starting them isolated.
  • Fully complete each pack before the next release.
