One of the games that I have become obsessed with is the Sims 4. Currently I have a forever world that i am playing 3 legacy challenges in, upkeep of a blank world (no lots built, no sims) with Strangerville, Evergreen Harbor, & Sulani completed, and a shell save with Strangerville, Evergreen Harbor, & Sulani completed.
I love building shells for others to use. I decided to go through each world and make residential shells as well as completed community lots. You can get the information & log of what I have been doing, as well as download the save file for your use. The save file will have the last updated date as the file name. Most of the residential lots will be base game compatible - meaning you can use them if you only have base game or a few packs.
If your game crashes due to this save file I am not responsible for any damages. I shouldn’t have to say that, but there are folks who do not understand this is a ‘Do at your own risk’ situation. That being said, there are no viruses, etc in this file. If your game crashes, etc it usually has to do with your computer and/or the Sims4 itself. Needless to say BACK UP YOUR SAVES!
I decided to upkeep a save file on my own as well as finish the Strangerville Mystery, clean up Sulani, and upgrade all 3 neighborhoods in Evergreen Harbor through neighborhood action plans (NAPs). I will update this with each new world and upload it here as I can.

A blank save file has no builds on lots, nor any sims except one. Once you have added your own sim, you can delete the sim that came with this save file if you want. It doesn't matter what worlds you have available to you - if you don't have them, they won't show up.
Most of the hard work for this save file was done by Srsly. You can get their save file at: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/worlds/srslys-blank-save

I fell for the whole Forever World fad going through the Sims community. In actuality is is just rotational game play that has been around forever. Regardless it is fun. I could not play a rotational play style without the following things:
Turn aging off on non-played households.
Turn aging on for only your active household (the one you play with when you play).
Turn off neighborhood stories from the Eco Lifestyle expansion (I think it was that expansion).
Turn of NPC voting for NAPs in the Eco Lifestyle expansion. This will ensure only you have control over the voting for the NAPs & community lots.
Turn off luck & ailments from Enchanted By Nature expansion.
Turn off the dust system from the Bust the Dust kit.
Turn off acne from the High School Years expansion.
Turn off thunderstorms, & ice storms from the Seasons expansion.

MCCC
Finding sims on the gallery and making my own making sure I use the #mccc_include tag on them if I want them to show up in my world. There is many videos/tutorials about how to make this happen, though it can only happen on PC/Mac as you need the MCCC mod.
If you would like a list of my mods I use please use the contact form or ask me on Discord if you join Yasmin's server.
I have tried writing a few legacy challenges. Some where good, I just got bored. If I got bored, I was sure others would too. I did come up with one that can be played with any pack(s) you may have.
