How to leave in the tray folder only the necessary files. Exports of sims and lots

Find saving files to documents\u003e Electronic Arts\u003e Sims 4\u003e Saves

If the newest saving file is damaged, you can use any of the older versions of the same save point and lose only a few SIM hours in the game.

First, find the save you want to use.You can restore the last saved game or go back a couple of days ago.
- If the file folder is displayed as a table, you will see the date and time of each file, which simplifies the search for more new storage points.
- In-game storage points also have a date and time that must match the date and time of the files in the SAVES folder or in the menu "Load the game".
Having found the necessary storage points in the game and folder with the save files, do not forget to close the game. Never modify game files if the game is running.
Transfer the main version of the file (with extension.save) to another folder to save it.
- You can also rename the file or delete it.
Select a new saving file you want to download. You will have a certain number of files with the extension pointing to the older version of this saving file.
- To start the game as close to the previous saving, select the file with the extension.save.ver0.
- To start the game as remotely from the previous saving, select the file with the extension.save.ver4.
Make the selected file of the new main point of saving.
- Right-click on the file and select "Rename".
- Remove part of the expansion after .save.
- Press ENTER.
- Example: Slot_000000012.save.ver4 will be Slot_000000012.Save
Run The Sims 4 and select "Download Game". Select the save point, and the game will download the file you renamed and made the main save point.

Judging on the issues that I recently receive by The Sims 4, many need to publish their sim or lot, without using the gallery, but not everyone knows what exactly needs to be pulled out from the game so that you can install your creation on a computer of another player. Today, we will not only figure out what files and from where we need, but we will learn from the publication to leave in the folder only those that need to be purchased to the archive for exporting your sim or lot.

So, if you have already tried to export your man-made masterpiece using file archiving, not the gallery, you already know that all game files of families and lots remain in a certain tray folder at Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 / Tray. It is in this folder after saving the library there are several files (strictly defined quantity for families and lots), which can be simply scored in the archive - and after transmitting to another player and install these files to his Tray folder Your sim or lot will appear in Game, bypassing publication and download from the gallery.

Each family accounts for at least five files with extensions. 1x.. HouseholdBinary, 1x .trayItem, 2x .sgi, 1x.Hhi. (If sims in the family are more than one, then the number of the .sgi files increases with each SIM one), and for each lot - at least six files with 1x extensions .BluePrint, 4x .bpi, 1x .trayItem(Again, if the floors on the site are more than one, then the files will already be more than six: a new .BPI file is added to each floor). To export the room, you will need four files: 1x .Room, 2x .midi, 1x .trayItem. The files of one family or one lot have the same name and differ only with extensions, so, sorting materials in the Tray folder by change date, you can, if you just save a lot or family to the library, simply take the most recent files with specific extensions and To the same name and with a relaxed soul to paint them into the archive: they will definitely refer to a freshly protected area or family. However, if you preserved a plot or a Sima for a long time or, let's say, just that, but also a plot, and a family at the same time, a confusion may arise with the files you need. In any case, there is a way to show in the Tray folder only you need to publish a specific area or family files. We now consider it.

So, I will try to leave in the Tray folder only those files that I need to export your lot (show on the example of the "Tradition" restaurant). With families you will do the same. To begin with, we will make a little preparation: we will find our lot in the library and publish it into the gallery (do not worry, after exporting a lot or family from the gallery can be deleted).

Now we leave the game and open our tray folder (I remind you: Documents / Electronic ARTS / THE SIMS 4 / TRAY). There we will see a bunch of files, among which there are also necessary for us.

Now let's highlight all the files in the Tray folder and move them somewhere for a while. For example, I moved to the "Misc" folder, which created in your downloads for SIMS. Files can move anywhere outside the "The Sims 4" folder in "Documents".

Why it is necessary: \u200b\u200bwe cleaned our gaming library, and now, when loading a lot or family in the Tray folder, only its files will appear. We launch the game, and we see that in our library only families created by EA remained, and all our preserved lots and sims are missing. Do not worry, it should be: as soon as we refund the files from the Tray folder to the place, everything will be restored. Click on your Nick Origin in the upper right corner of the gallery to go to the lot you published in the community.

Check that the lot appears in the library and leave the game. Now, looking at the Tray folder, we will see that several files appeared there. It is they who need us in order to publish their lot or Sim in the form of an archive.

Quietly archive these files and distribute the resulting archive to friends and familiar :) The last stage do not forget to transfer the files that we cleaned from the Tray folder, in place for your saved family and lots returned to the game.

Now you can cancel the publishing lot or family in the gallery, if for some reason he interferes there. Do not forget that if you used some fashion when creating a lot or Sim, now they are not automatically published with your creation. To transfer modes along with the publication, you must manually find them in the MODS folder and add to the archive with the lot / give download links from authors. Do not mix the modes with files from the Tray folder to not confuse people.

I hope this article will help you easier and faster publish your work from The Sims 4. Pleasant Game :)

Oh Boy Has This Been A Journey and A Half. RECREATING ALL OF THE SIMS 4'S WORLD FROM SCRATCH aloneis A Lot But Trying to Recreate A Whole Canon Universe? Dead. I've Been Going Through Scenes Frame by Frame to Get Each Lot Accurate AS Possible (And With Limitations of the Sims)

AT This Point, I Have 40 Something Lots Done. That's Not Even Scratching The Surface. Plus Island Living's Coming Out This Week.

I Really Want to Finish This World and Upload It But i'Ve Got Two Problems I'Ve Thought About Since The Beginning:

Am I Going to Run Out Of Canon Locations to Build?
Am I Going to Run Out Of Canon Sims To Add to Residential Lots?

I'll Probably Start Making Generic Lots, Especially Since A Lot of Demons / Angels / etc Don't Really Have a Home.

YES! WHEN? I Don't Know Yet, I'm Still Trying to Decide If I Want to Go Ahead And Upload Them As I Build Or Finish The World of the Upload Them

When Will The World Be Finished / Be Uploaded?

I Hope Before Season 15's Premiere. Hope. AT Least Finish All Canon Lots / Sims
