Jawaban singkat
Sims 4 save files are the files named Slot_ plus 8 digits and .save, such as Slot_00000001.save, in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves on Windows and on a Mac. To install a downloaded save, move its .save file there with a name that no other save uses, then choose Load Game. Copy the whole Sims 4 folder to back up.
What is a Sims 4 save file?
A Sims 4 save file is one saved game: every household, lot, and world of that game. Each one is a file named Slot_, 8 digits, and .save, such as Slot_00000001.save. They are in the saves folder of Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.
Next to each save, the game keeps older save points of the same game, with the endings .ver0 to .ver4. Since July 2026 there is also one autosave slot. This guide covers each part: where the files are, how to install a save that you downloaded, what an all worlds save is, how to back up, and how to move your saves to another computer.
We read EA Help, the EA FAQ, the Steam page, and the creator pages on November 4, 2026. You read this on the LifeSim blog. We make a free life sim in the browser that can read your Sims 4 save. We say how at the end.
Where are Sims 4 save files?
- Windows:
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves - Mac:
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves
The guides we read give this one path for the EA app and for Steam. It is not in the folder where the game is installed. EA says that the Sims 4 folder only shows in Documents after you play the game once. If your Documents folder is in OneDrive or iCloud Drive, or if the folder is missing, read Lokasi file penyimpanan Sims 4. It has each path and what to do in each case.
The Sims 4 folder also holds the other folders that a save can need:
Tray: the households, lots, and rooms of your Library.Mods: custom content (CC) and mods.
Does The Sims 4 autosave?
Yes, since the update of July 21, 2026. EA Help says that the game autosaves at every loading screen, for example when your Sim travels to another lot or when you exit the game. That setting is on by default.
To change it, open the Options Menu with the three dots, select Game Options, then Save Settings. You can also autosave when you leave Build Mode, every 30 minutes, every hour, or every 2 hours of real time, and at game times such as midnight. On PC and Mac you can turn autosave off. On a console, the loading screen autosave is always on.
There is only one autosave slot. Each autosave replaces the one before it, and EA says that older autosaves can't be recovered. So keep making manual saves too: Options Menu, then Save. Save Reminders are off by default. You can set them to every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours.
How do you install a downloaded Sims 4 save file?
- Quit the game. Back up your Sims 4 folder first. The steps are below.
- Unzip the download. Find the file that ends in .save.
- Look in your
savesfolder. If a file there has the same name, rename the new file to a number that is free, such asSlot_00000099.save. Keep exactly 8 digits. A file with the same name replaces your own save. - Move only the .save file into the
savesfolder. You don't need the .ver files of a download. - If the creator says the save needs CC or mods, put those in the
Modsfolder, and turn on Enable Custom Content and Mods in Game Options, under Other. Households or lots that come as Tray files go in theTrayfolder. - Start the game, and choose Load Game. Do not choose Resume, which opens your last game.
Read the page of the save before you play it. It says which packs the save expects. A save still loads when you don't own a pack, but the objects from that pack are missing from the lots.
What is a Sims 4 all worlds save file?
An all worlds save is a save file in which a player rebuilt or renovated the lots of every world. You load it in place of a new game, and every town already has new houses, shops, and venues. Players share them on CurseForge, which has a Sims 4 save files section, and on their own pages, such as Patreon.
These are four well-known saves that we found on CurseForge in November 2026. We read their pages, but we did not test them in the game. Download a save only from the page of its creator. A save is a .save file in a .zip. Never run a program that comes with a save.
| Save file | Pembuat | CC | Worlds and packs | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultimate Save (NO CC) | PlumbobKingdom | No CC, no mods | Every world, with the vacation worlds. Objects from packs you don't own are missing. | July 12, 2026 |
| Ultimate Saves of All Worlds [NO CC] | danuta72 | No CC, no mods | 12 worlds rebuilt, 2 in part. Objects from packs you don't own are missing. | July 12, 2026 |
| The Fantasy Save File | LittleRedRidingSim | No CC | Almost every pack. Turns every world up to Nordhaven into a fantasy town. | September 24, 2025 |
| basegame savefile - 10 years later | charlypancakes | Base game only, no CC | The base game worlds. Not updated since July 2023. | 20 Juli 2023 |
A save made before your newest pack doesn't have that pack's world rebuilt. That is why players search for a 2026 save: look at the date of the last update on the page.
Sims 4 save files with no CC, or for the base game
No CC means the save needs no custom content and no mods. It doesn't mean base game. A no CC save can still use objects from many packs. If you own no packs, look for a save that says base game, such as the one from charlypancakes in the table.
Sims 4 medieval save files
A medieval save is a save in which the creator made the worlds look like the Middle Ages. TheSimsTree says that a full medieval save needs many mods, map replacements, and custom content. Read the list of CC on the page of the save before you install it. If you mean the 2011 game The Sims Medieval, read The Sims Medieval.
How do you back up Sims 4 save files?
EA Help gives these steps for Windows. On a Mac, the steps are the same in Finder.
- Keluar dari game.
- Go to Documents, then Electronic Arts.
- Copy The Sims 4 folder, and paste it on your Desktop or on a USB drive.
- Rename the copy to a name you will remember, such as Sims 4 Backup 2026-11-04.
Copy the whole folder, not only saves. Your Tray and Mods folders are in it too. To restore the backup, delete the folder in Documents, rename the backup to The Sims 4, and paste it back.
How do you restore an older Sims 4 save?
EA Help gives the way in the game. From the Main Menu, select Load Game, then the game. Select Recover Save, the floppy disk icon, and choose the save point you want. Then select Play. Each manual save slot keeps several save points from your last play sessions.
The save points are the .ver files. Sims Community says that the higher the number, the older the file. It also gives the old way by hand: move the .save file to another folder, then rename a .ver file so that its name ends in .save. Do this only when the game is closed, and only with a backup.
How do you transfer Sims 4 saves to another computer?
You copy them by hand. EA Help gives these steps from a PC to a Mac. The same steps work from PC to PC.
- On the old computer, open Documents, then Electronic Arts, then The Sims 4.
- Copy the whole
savesfolder to a USB drive. CopyTraydanModstoo if you use them. - On the new computer, install the game and play it once, so the Sims 4 folder appears.
- If the new Sims 4 folder already has a
savesfolder, rename it, for example to saves-old. - Paste the folders from the USB drive into the new Sims 4 folder. Start the game and load your save.
The game doesn't sync saves for you. The EA FAQ says that The Sims 4 doesn't support the EA app cloud storage. The Steam store page of The Sims 4 doesn't list Steam Cloud in its features. Install the same packs on the new computer, or the objects from the missing packs are gone from your lots.
Saves don't move between a PC and a console. The EA FAQ says that console saves are platform-specific. Read The Sims 4 di konsol vs PC.
Bring your save into LifeSim
LifeSim is a free life sim that you play in the browser, on a real 3D map of Earth. It reads Sims 4 saves as the game wrote them, with no mod.
- Open the LifeSim builder, and open the import sheet next to the + in the row of people.
- Choose The Sims 4. Add a Slot file from your
savesfolder, or the .zip of a save that you downloaded. You can also add your Tray folder and pick one household of your Library. - A save holds hundreds of households. Search for a family, a Sim, a lot, or a world, and pick one.
- Choose the Sim you play. Up to 4 Sims of other households who are close to the family come along: a partner, family, or friends.
- Check each person, change what you want, and start your life in a real city.
LifeSim reads names, ages, traits, the aspiration, the career and its level, skills, family ties, and the household funds. A save has no portraits, so LifeSim draws the looks from the Create a Sim data. Traits and careers from mods drop out. The steps and the details are in bring your Sims 4 household into LifeSim.
