THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SAVE FILE EVER!! This is amazing, the amount of work that went into this blows my mind, absolute kudos to you for your efforts! It's amazing!! <3

V1: Willow Creek + Magnolia Promenade 🏠

The Neighborhood is a CC-free save file that explores the concept of home. V1 celebrates the vibrant communities of the U.S. Gulf Coast. ❤️

This is what comes in V1:

13 community lots

22 total residences (includes 3 multi-family rental lots, 9 single family homes)

New High School & Auditorium in Copperdale (+8 school staff townies)

Secret lot (Sylvan Glade) reimagined

17 unique households with skills, jobs, relationships, and stories that tie into the town

New clubs and holidays

Download, screenshots & more info below ↪

The wonderful Ly family in Willow Creek was lovingly created for the save by @cowplant-snacks. All other neighbors were made by me, you can meet all of them here! Pets are from Pugowned, misc. townies from @cowplant-snacks and @simsontherope on the gallery.

There's lots of little details and things to explore, both around the world and relationship wise, so I'm excited to see what y'all uncover. Please feel free to @theneighborhoodsave in your posts or tag #theneighborhoodsave. I'd love to see what your sims are up to!

I also want to say thank you to anyone who's appreciated this creative journey with me. This save feels like home to me and y'all have supported me every step of the way!

The save is 100% CC free! Please note that I do have all expansions, packs, and kits (except for Castle Estate, Goth Galore + Crystal Creations.) For any items you don't own the game will try to auto find replacements for those items. The file is mostly blank this time around but does include the original EA builds in university and vacation type worlds (sans Granite Falls.)

Included is a folder of completely optional skin details/eyelashes for the neighbor sims. Thank you to @faaeish, @pyxiidis, @tamo-sim, and @landgraabbed! There are 4 pieces of CC I cannot include in the folder due to creator TOU. Please check the included "Read Me" file for more information.

All builds and families are up on the gallery (@sweetbeagaming) + tray files have been shared here.

If you've never used a save file and need help installing it, I highly recommend this tutorial by @leeleebsimming.

⚠️ A couple of disclaimers here due to some existing EA bugs. ⚠️ Everything was tested to work around these, but I wanted to put them out there as an FYI.

TOU: Please don't reupload my save/builds/sims, claim as your own, and absolutely do not paywall them. Other than that feel free to build your own Neighborhood stories however you'd like!

Makhyli Hair

My first venture into making CC hair. Inspired by the gorgeous Makhyli! HUGE shout out to @mauvemorn for helping me SO much with everything!! <3 <3 Eternally grateful!

Comes in 2 versions, one with bangs (the front strands) and one without.

Comes in all 24 EA swatches plus 7 pastel colours of my own. I also made an overlay under accessories to change the hair band colours. And also some cute hair clips under hats.

I’m not saying The Sims SHOULD do a Kpop-inspired pack, I’m just saying imagine the potential for CAS assets for male sims if they did…

Finger Tattoos

This took me a long time despite its seeming simplicity! Trying to get the UV texture to match up despite the mesh warping and such, argh - do not recommend! 

But yeah anyway, drew these myself (though they’re quite simple), hope you enjoy!

5 swatches:

Black, Gold, Silver, Light Brown, Dark Brown.

4 Versions: Left hand, Right hand, Both hands, and All-Options-In-One-Item (to keep catalogue tidier),

(plus a merged ZIP file version too).

P.S. They’re a little warped and fuzzy in game but unfortunately that’s due to the warping of the Sims body mesh (and I DID try really hard to counter it as much as I could) and also the low image size acceptance for Sims4Studio and the Sims 4 game itself. 

I hope you enjoy!

Thank you!

CLEAVAGE OVERLAY

Two different cleavage overlays for The Sims 4. Both are for Teen-Elder Female, have a few different swatches for different opacity/looks and are found in the “Tattoo” category in the Upper Chest Tattoo slot. EDIT: I’ve added them as Skin Details as well :)

I hope you enjoy!

Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: these overlays are ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE

P.P.S. I’m currently working on some hand/finger tattoos! (EDIT- they are now done and can be found here)
