Hello, I couldn't find the associated populated save file for the custom world Cladbridge-on-stowe, which is a very well-made custom world by doublemedion694. Seems like they uploaded the save file to mediafire but it got taken down for some reason by the website. Has anyone come across a blog or something that had it backed up before it got taken down? Thank you.

PS: I'm not very experienced with this website, so I may be double-posting, but I couldn't find my previous thread and couldn't a find a way to search for my posts... So sorry if I did just that.

I'm not seeing any previous threads from you....WCIF posts are supposed to go the WCIF sub-forum but I don't think anyone will be too upset if you post it here, it's a common mistake. I wish I knew of a populated save, but I don't.

I used to make populated worlds. Now I use NRAAS Porter to make sim populations in "Jig world". Jig world is just a big empty world with about 20 odd residential lots and a town hall. The residential lots are empty except for a short section of wall. The wall is needed to make NRAAS porter works, and town hall is needed for NRAAS Master Controller ->Sim->Focus
This way, I can build an entire population or sub population in game with Edit Town. You can't do that in CAW->Edit in game.
Then I take my empty world and fill it with the population I want.
You can also use NRAAS porter to kidnap steal plagerize liberate an entire town full of people, but it doesn't work on plumbots and some other state... I forget what it was. So if I see The Addam's Family or Ken and Barbie Doll or some other neat household in Union Cove Seasons, I copy them with Porter, keeping all relationships and such. You can even liberate all the service people, which sometimes outnumber the town's residence (doesn't work on plumbots, tho. Tried to liberate the service plumbots in Oasis Landing... nope. Total failure when unpacking leading to a disaster. Don't pack Plumbots!

Yep, I know of NRAAS Porter and I have it in my game, it's just that for me part of the fun of exploring a new world is getting to know the pre-made sims that come with that world. I rarely create my own sims and I love playing with worlds that come with fully fledged back-stories for their households. That's why for example I could never play with the wonderful world Point Ouerbacker, because it is unpopulated.

Paging one of my colleagues, @Sarah_Sims. I happen to know that Cladbridge is her favorite world so perhaps she knows where to find a pre-populated version, if one is available.

Thank you so much!!!

You can just use NRAAS SP and set it to rapid immigration, bringing in 10-20 families (depending on the number of available houses).
You can base it off your bin sims, or off immigrant worlds, or just random sims. They're not hand crafted sims, but most of the hand crafted sims die off by the time you get the ability to socialize effectively with them anyway. I don't care if my random sims die off cuz NRAAS SP will just make more of them.

It should probably be noted that not all of us have exactly the same definition of "socialize effectively." Routinely bashing the resident townies over the head with hungry cowplants or setting them on fire when they don't at first respond to idle chit-chat and random pickup lines may not necessarily lead to long lasting social relationships as desired. Just sayin'.

Some folks say my game play is unconventional. I think it's innovative!

I play without SP and with an insane life-cycle which means almost immortality. So nobody dies off.

I would think that after awhile your world would be knee deep in crying babies.

Quite the contrary, it is knee deep in generations and generations of young adults and adults because nobody every dies off...

I have the same kind of settings, but "Baby" is 1 day.

Crying toddlers now...

Although I do have SP. It just works to ensure that every household has a few toddlers in it.

@igazor any news on that save file?

Hi PasTaCopine!

So sorry! I didn't see that igazor was paging me here.

I don't know of anywhere where the Save Folder is available publicly anymore but I do have a copy on my hard drive and would be willing to share it with you privately if you'd like. Just let me know. :-)

Thank you so much!! Sending you a PM right now.

Dear Sarah_Sims, hi!

Can I too ask you for a copy of your save file of this city? Thank you!

Of course! I've just sent you the link in a private message. Have fun!

I know this is old but would it be possible to send me the save file?
