honeymaysims | The Sims 4 Save File 1.0 ✨
EDIT (18/08/25): Changed how many households are in "my household" under "manage households", as this can effect the game speed and load times.
EDIT (19/08/25): Fixed minor details regarding functionality, such as routing issues and small business venue fixes.
EDIT (06/10/25): Fixed minor details regarding functionality, such as routing issues and fixed the toddler bug in the Jensen family.
Today, I'm FINALLY releasing the first version of my no cc save file in The Sims 4 after one and a half year working on it. I've given a makeover to the base game worlds of Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest, where I've built new homes, community lots, given townies makeovers, made custom sims and households, plus added lore and other gameplay improvements. Are you ready to explore this new version of The Sims 4? ✨
This save file includes:
🏡 New homes
🛍️ New community lots
💄 Townie makeovers
👨👩👧👧 New households & sims
☕️ Extended lore & relationships
📅 New holidays, clubs + more!
I've used all expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs in this save file, but NO KITS at all and no Journey to Batuu either.
Thank you all so, so much for all the support so far on this save file. What a journey it's been! Next up, I'll be working on Windenburg, Brindleton Bay and probably one more world, and I'm really looking forward to continuing this project + showing you all the progress.
📢 Do let me know if there's anything missing or not functioning, and I'll do my best to fix it as quickly as possible. Please do not redistribute the save file or claim as your own. Thank you!

hey just wondering do I have to download all save files for it to work?
Hi! No, you just need to download one, so the 6oct one is the most recent one 😊
Thanks！！！
absolutely love this save file!! learned how to install save mods just for this!! i am wondering if when the next few worlds are completed, do you know if it will delete any gameplay i create using the 1.0 version, or will the new builds and sims be simply added? not entirely sure about that aspect regarding save files! :) thank you again for the incredible work!!
Hi! Thanks for using my save file! When the next save file version is done, it will be added as a new separate save file, so it won't overwrite or replace anything you already have, even the earlier version of this. That's just how the sims save files work, unfortunately 😞
Just saw your save file for the first time, first of all I love it 🤗, I have just one question, Are all the original sims included in your file? I saw a few and I love their descriptions 😊Anyway I love it
Hi, thank you! I do believe all the original sims are included 😊
I removed my query due to I'm very good at confusing myself, I am wondering the updated save file to download would be v1 6Oct and this includes Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest? Am I correct please let me know, Thank you
Hi I am listening to you video and I have answered my own query; well I hope anyway. I keep watching
Not sure why, but for some reason, I cant load into the tattoo shop. I tried with a sim and also tried entering in build mode.
Hmm, that's so strange. I'm wondering why that is 🤔 thanks for letting me know!
I have been playing rotationally through your savefile and I noticed that the couple in Newcrest who own the LaundroTunes do not have a romantic relationship . Not sure if it's just my game acting crazy or not, but figured I'd mention it. :)
I'll check to see if I've missed that, thanks for mentioning it 🫶
Hi! Does the October one have playground lots and the new pack?
It doesn't! I haven't used anything from Adventure Awaits, but I think it may show as a used pack for the save file since I forgot to disable that pack when I took out the save tray files 🫶
You are absolutely amazing! !🤩🥳
Thank you!! 🥹🫶
I pretty much never comment on anything, but I just wanted to let you know your save is wonderful, and it's going to be my forever home! Really excited to see what you do with the other worlds when they're ready. :) Your work is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate this 🥹🤍
Hi, I just downloaded you save file and notice there are three files for the Oct 6 save. Do I need to put all of them in my saves folder? Thanks
Hi! That's correct, I think some of them are just backups :)
Hi your save file is awesome but wanted to let you know the one household in willow creek with the toddler son and infant. The toddler son has that bug where he turns into an infant and gets infant traits
Hi! Thanks for letting me know, I'll see if there's anything I can do about that!
Hi Honeymaysims! I really love the look and feel of your world! I know it took a lot of time and dedication! I just wanted to mention that I'm having trouble playing any of the families. They keep getting stuck/frozen and won't do any task. I've deleted cache files and tried resetting them with the cheat. It will reset them, but they still won't do anything. I was wondering if you have any ideas as to what may be wrong. I can play my other save files just fine. I do have mods... but didn't think they would cause any issues. Thank you! The world is lovely!
Hii! I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble with this issue. I know of one other person having the same problem and unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out what causes this to certain people's games 😭 I don't think it's a mods problem either, so hmm 🤔
Hey Honeymaysims, for some reason I can’t get the small business lot in willow creek to load. Its the tattoo/residental lot. I keep getting and endless loading screen. Do you know how I can fix it? Thanks so much
Hi! Is it only this lot that's not loading in the save for you? I know that people had trouble with endless loading screens after the August sims update when they had outdated mods in their game, but if it's only this one lot that's not working then I'm not sure 🤔
Hey this is really cool. I'm actually doing something similar in my game. It's a lot of work. I like how you split the BFF household up into rental units. That was smart!
Thank you very much. Great work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Honestly the best save to exist as of now, can not wait for updates ♥️
That really means a lot, thank you!! 🥹
I absolutely loveee this. I am here from OshinSims as well. Do I have to have all packs to operate the world?
Hiii! I haven't used any kits or Journey to Batuu in this, but you can still download and use this even if you don't have all the other packs. Some stuff will be missing, of course.
I’ve been playing a new save file with this save. Like many people, I wanted to start a “forever world”. This gave me the perfect blueprint for starting. Wonderful lore and beautiful spaces - I actually gasped when my sim visited the new Willow Creek park for the first time. It’s stunning. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us! :)
Aw, thank you so much for playing in it! 🥹🫶
I'm here from OshinSims! Can't wait to play in this save file. Thank you for your hard work!
just got the save today and i’m absolutely in love with it! legitimately giggling while i read all the household descriptions, i love how connected the different families are! major sims two/three vibes ❤️ thank you so much for all your hard work!
What a beautiful save! I adore the little story elements you added, its adorable.
Love the save file, I subbed to get it but I thought it was every world xD. It's fine though. Keep up the good work
I just joined ur subscription thing just for this save file. I love it sm!
I love your save file, thanks for sharing! :)
Been waiting so long for your save file, congrats on finishing. thank you for your hard work ✨
Oshin LITERALLY sent me ♥ I'm super excited to start up a new gameplay with this one!
Same!
Just got the save file and became a early access member! i am looking forward to play the save file! it looks amazing and can't wait to play it! just downloaded it and i am waiting for my sims 4 to boot up lol! keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing!
so excited to play with your save! Thank you :)
Hello! I discovered your save today by pure chance. I was actually looking for review videos for another save on Youtube, and started watching your video by accident. BUT that was a very happy accident! :-) Because I love your save file. Downloaded it right after watching. The families you added are very interesting, and I really like the buildings! Are you planning to make over all the worlds, or just parts of them?
Hii! I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the save file 🥹🫶 I'll try my best to renovate as many worlds as possible! It'll probably take a while, but I'm eager to continue. At the moment, I'm working on the second version with Windenburg, Brindleton Bay and Sulani 😊
I love it so much I've had my game open since I downloaded your save so it hasn't downloaded the new update yet 😝 and I don't plan on closing and downloading until they fix it. For now I'm rotationally playing and have started with the Spencer-Kim Lewis house. Love it so far. Who should I move to next!? I want to play them all and can't decide.
Spencer-Kim Lewis house is BEAUTIFUL by the way!
Hi May. I downloaded, installed and played the save file just as you released it, and was having great fun. Then today, there was a game update, after which mods were turned off as per usual. I played it a bit again, but then turned the mods back on and now it won't even load my last played household in the save file (it jumps to world selection). Obviously, with every gameupdate, there are always tons of problems with mods and the game glitching, so I don't necessarily think this has anything to do with your save file, but I figured I would say something about it anyway. Have you experienced any problems after today's update, specifically after enabling mods (which I'm not sure you even play with)?
hii! i've seen lots of people having trouble loading into their save files after today's update, so i'm pretty sure it's a bug that came specifically with the update. it really sucks it's happening at all, so hopefully, they'll be looking into it asap! thank you for letting me know!
I'm so excited to check it out!! i have been patiently waiting for this release!!
Beautiful save. I already have so many of your builds throughout my saves. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that ❤️
I think it would be amazing if you did Sulani as part of the next revamp
i've JUST started on Sulani as well 👀 pretty sure it'll all come with the next revamp too then, because i'm in such a Sulani mood these days!
Hello Again May...I am so sad and sorry to report I'm running into some major issues navigating your sims through their homes...lots of routing issues and many glitches. I can't get sims to talk to each other...they can only move around or interact with objects. I'd say it might be me, except I'm successfully playing in 8 other save files with no issues. I have to delete the save for now just in case it's corrupted...I can't take a chance on it infecting my other saves. I hope you get this figured out before 2.0. Darn it...I was so excited :(
Oh no! I'm so sorry you've been having issues with the save file 😭 After I saw your message, it got me a bit worried so I've had a couple of my friends play in the save file to see if they've been having the same issues, and there haven't been anything, so I'm so sad I don't know what the problem could be 😢 I'm not sure if installing it again will make it any different? I've made a little change. If there were any particular lots you were playing on or households you played with, I'd love to check out those specifically. But thank you for letting me know!! I'll definitely keep my eyes out on any issues for the future.
I paid for this only to find out that I also needed to apparently extract the files and move them to a different folder to work, this wasn't explained in the video. I commented on the post with no response. Also in order to play it without it being corrupted there are an additional 20 packs it tells me I need to purchase, this was also not explained in the video.
I'm so sorry you've experienced this! I haven't been able to find your comment on my post 😭 I realize I could have explained it directly in the video instead of linking a video on how to download save files in the description. I do explain at the beginning of my video and in the description about what packs I've used, so I'm a bit unsure what packs it's telling you to get? Either way, apologies about your experience 🙏
just downloaded the save file....love it! Also love that I can see what other households and lots you have lined up to work on next...Can't wait for Magnolia Promenade and Windenburg to be completed! Everything look fantastic!! :)
Thank you so much!! Can't wait to expand this 🥹🩷
