Sapphire: A Collaborative Community Save File
For the longest time I've been wanting to make my own save file. However, I’m a terrible builder and honestly I got bored and overwhelmed trying to make one by myself. I’ve realized I need some help. A lot of it. So I figured, why not make this a community project?I want to make a fun community save with the help and talents of as many simmers as possible! However, I also have a few other ambitions.
The majority of the time, when people make custom saves, they aren’t very accessible to a large number of simmers. Specifically, those who don’t have just about every pack in the entire game. Oftentimes, people mix packs when redesigning their saves. As a result, those who aren't as fortunate to have every single pack either cannot download them or have to deal with a bunch of naked or half-naked sims walking around their worlds and partially-empty lots. I want this save to be similar to Emily or Baembee’s saves. As a result, there are some rules for lots and households for this save.
I encourage you all to please submit your amazing creations (I’ll explain below how to do so) so I can compile this save! I’m so excited to look at all your stuff! And everyone whose submissions are included in the save will be credited. I think this can be such a fun project for the community! Even if you’re not interested in submitting, I would appreciate it if you reblogged/reposted it so as many people will participate as possible!
- Upload your lots/households to the gallery with the hashtag #sapphiresave so I can easily find them.
- No CC. Unfortunately, in order for this save to be at all possible, CC cannot be included. It just would not be feasible.
- As stated previously, similar to Emily and Baembee’s saves, households and lots will be pack-specific. Meaning, Please only use 1 expansion/game pack + base game. For example, if you want your household or lot to be placed in Windenburg, please only use Get Together + base game. The only exception to this rule is hot and cold weather outfits. For those, you may use seasons, base game, + 1 expansion.
- No kits or stuff packs. This rule kind of sucks, especially for building, but stuff packs and kits don’t come with respective worlds. So, there really is no place for them in the context of this save.
- You may upload as many submissions as you like and of any type. Additionally, if you make a household and build a specific home for that household, please say that in the bio of both so I know to check your profile for the corresponding submission.
- You will be credited if your submission is included in the save. I will include your gallery ID at the end of the description of your lot/household (or you can include it yourself. It will not be taken out).
- I will not be editing your submissions. They will be placed in the save exactly as you made them. The only thing I may do is add backstories/descriptions to households if you do not include your own. This is just for storytelling purposes to make the world as lively as possible. I also may include a lot trait to lots without any.
- Be creative! It is not required, but feel free to include storylines and backstories to your submissions. If you want to upload your sims with skills and careers, feel free to do so! Just keep in mind the pack restrictions.
- I’ll be going through the submissions and choosing lots/households live on my Twitch!
- Of course, feel free to post your submissions anywhere you want. Tag/@ me if you do (I only have Tumblr and Youtube though)! This is not a requirement, of course (you don’t have to tag me lol, but I’d appreciate it!)
I know there are a lot of rules and I understand if you choose not to participate as a result. However, I greatly appreciate those who accept the challenge! Also, don't forget the base game and vacation worlds! And, of course, I’ll be contributing my own lots and households to the save. Let me know if you have any questions!
