Sims 4 Save File - 25 years after the Sims 2

I created a new save file for the Sims 4 with a timeline that is set approximately 25 years after the Sims 2. Willow Creek now features familiar households we all know and love from the Sims 2 Pleasantview, with their lore and stories set 25 years after the Sims 2 base game. All Sims have been given suitable aspirations, careers, clubs, after-school clubs, skills, relationships with other Sims, milestones, likes/dislikes, turn on-turn off's and their sexualities have been been set. There are connections between the families with affairs, broken egnagements, secret children and new babies on the way too!



Installation
  • Download from the link above and place in your Sims 4 saves folder C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves


YouTube Video Tour
  • Check out my YouTube video where I tour Willow Creek and show you all of the households.


Never Played Rotationally in The Sims 4?

  • This save file is designed to be played rotationally, so all the households of Willow Creek are played to further develop the stories. If you have never played rotationally in the Sims 4 before check out my blog post which explains how, plus tips and recommended mods (no mods are required, but there are some useful ones).


General Notes
  • This save file is CC and mod free. However, lots of DLC has been used to create these Sims and create/decorate their homes. If you do not have certain DLC for the Sims 4, Sims might be missing clothing, careers, and homes might be missing furniture etc.

  • This save file is based on my current Pleasantview playthrough, and so the Sims ages don't quite align with 25 years as my age span isn't an exact 1 day = 1 year lifespan. Plus the Sims 4 has a strange life-span in the un-modded game with the teenager lifestage 21 days and the children lifestage 14 days so I did the best I could.

  • I also created this save file inside another save file of mine where I renovated the lots in Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Magnolia Promenade, Windenburg and San Myshuno (except the park). Sims from these worlds have had make-overs and there are a few new families added in too.

  • I deleted out some Sims that don't fit in with this save-file as I have my own versions e.g. Dustin Broke from the Get Famous expansion, Skip Broke from Adventure Awaits expansion, The Landgraab household in Oasis Springs and Angela/Lilith from the University expansion.

  • The old residents of Willow Creek (the Pancakes, BFFs and the Spencer-Kim's) have been kicked out and moved to Oasis Springs.

  • This was created before the Feb 3rd 2026 base game updated, therefore some families do not have the ancestors that were added to the game in this update.
