The Maxis Fixed Lore Save File

Last Updated November 13, 2024 for Life and Death and fixing an issue with the Vatore household. I will consider updating as new packs/gallery sims are released.

Known Bugs:

Life and Death - Sims with the Grimborn trait have their bodies distorted when they age up or travel.

Base Game/ Lovestruck - Relationships marked as "Partner" work as expected but in CAS they seem to revert to "Household Member."


Description:

Ever started a new save and wondered why the lore of the game tells us that Johnny Zest is related to the Landgraabs or that Don Lothario has a romance going on with all three Caliente women but in reality none of this is true?

Have you been perplexed as expansions are released, and the lore expanded, but in-game it is anything but?

This Save File corrects all that! Building off the amazing mod by Szemoka (which starts all new saves with many of the fixed relationships) and takes it further by correcting the relationships of Base Game Sims and includes all official Maxis created gallery Sims (that are not based on real people).

To install: move the unzipped .save file into your saves folder. Make sure the number doesn’t override an existing save. You can renumber as needed. For the optional Home Regions and Regional Tweaks files, follow the instructions in the zip file.

Recommended: If you use any mods that disable townie generation and allow for NPC job assignments - then your game will maintain a maxis-match look and all those townies can populate your world! This save file is Integrated with the Home Regions mod from Kuttoe (curseforge and itch.io). If you have that mod installed and use the supplied settings file, all Maxis gallery and pre-installed sims who pertain to a particular location will be townies of that location (and should only show up in associated worlds). You can see a list of what worlds are associated with each other, and what sims live where towards the bottom of this post. If you don't have or want that mod, this save file will still work without these features. Additionally, for work related and NPC invite events, I recommend the Regional Tweaks Mod by Chipped Sim (hosted on independent website). Included is a config file for that mod. Lastly, I recommend the Townie Demographics Mod by Kuttoe, which makes it so that newly generated townies look and feel like people from their respective worlds.

No lots have been altered, the goal is to have a save file that is just like the original but with all the fixed lore / relationships that pertain to the Sims 4. Lore from previous games is largely ignored unless Maxis has officially uploaded those sims to the gallery. Which means, no extended families (or trees) unless Maxis supplied them - such as the Pleasant parents (Mary Sue and Daniel) for the twins in Discover University (Angela and Lilith).

Works best with all packs installed, but you can just delete the townies of the ones you don’t have and this *should work. Please offer feedback if anything is not working as expected.

What is included:

All the relationship fixes provided by Premade Sim Relationship Fix by Szemoka (last updated April 1, 2023). Plus the following:

For those with the Home Regions mod from Kuttoe

The following worlds have been grouped as geographic neighbors, and therefore their residents can show up as visitors in each-other’s worlds:

• Willow Creek, Newcrest, Magnolia Promenade
• Oasis Springs, Chestnut Ridge, Copperdale, Strangerville
• Evergreen Harbor, Granite Falls, Moonwood Mill
• San Myshuno, San Sequioa
• Britechester, Henford-on-Bagley
• Selvadorada, Cuidad Enamorada
• Forgotten Hollow, Glimmerbrook, Ravenwood

Otherwise Sims should only appear in the world where they reside. All sims have been assigned to a world that is related to their pack. If a world was not included with the pack, then a choice was made from the Sim/Family bio or to closely match the theme of the pack and offer some balance throughout the worlds. For example, added all Dream Home Decorator Sims to Del Sol Valley and all Dine Out Sims to Tartosa). The config file is included with installation instructions.

This save has Neighborhood Stories turned off by default. If you decide to turn it back on, I highly suggest you disable it for all the homeless families that are pertinent to the storylines of the following packs so that you keep the sims in their assigned roles:

• Cottage Living
• Discover University
• Get Famous
• High School Years
• My Wedding Stories
• Realm of Magic
• Strangerville
• Werewolves
