Simkhira's Small Town Save File

Latest Update: March 22, 2026 - Various Fixes *

Simkhira’s Small Town Save File is now available (and so much has changed). Most importantly, this version does not require any mods or custom content (with the exception of included garage doors). Being able to open my save file without worrying about anything “breaking” has been so freeing. Version 2 also introduces new households, incorporates new lots / lot types, and other gameplay aspects. As many of you know, this save file is inspired by my small hometown in Southeast, USA. I wanted to create a nostalgic world that caters to my favorite gameplay style in The Sims 4: creating legacies. Over the past year, I have been able to transform Willow Creek, Newcrest, and Magnolia Promenade into something that I am really proud of. I hope you all enjoy the households, the lots, the small town lore, and most importantly - all of the love and effort that went into making my forever save file.

Disclaimer: This save file requires all The Sims 4: EP's, GP's, SP's, and Kits.

There's a local "newspaper" included in the zip file that contains more information about the save file's households, lore, clubs, and calendar. I highly recommend reading, however, I have also included more details (+ the download link) below:

• All of the Sims have relationships (friends and enemies), careers, after-school activities, skills, degrees, lifestyles, public reputations, likes / dislikes, gender preferences, romance preferences, turn-ons / turn-offs, family dynamics, defined walkstyles, defined voices, social bunny (if relevant), cupid’s corner profiles (if relevant), inheritance wills (if elderly), marriage licenses, small businesses (if relevant), bucket list goals, and inventory sleeping bags (for toddlers-teens). 

• All of the Households have appropriate funds, household pets, scheduled maid services (if relevant), assigned beds, and auto-lights. 

• Most of the other worlds have vacation rental locations, wedding destinations, and university housing (to “study abroad”). All of these external locations were found on the gallery. Original creator credit can be found in each lot description. 

The Simkhira Small Town Save File does not require custom content, except for custom garage doors AND (by popular demand) custom maxis match cars (which are all included in the download). Until we get proper residential garage doors, these will have to do. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS SAVE FILE IS CC-FREE. If you open the game and get a pop-up message stating that you are missing content - you are not :)

Inspiration: I want to say thank you to all of the amazing save file creators, content creators, and storytellers who inspired me throughout this process.
