Per neighbourhood, or game?

[The Adam Diamond]

You know how we have 5 save slots, so we can save our towns, and the sims we want to play wont age? Will that be 5 per neighbourhood, or 5 per game?

cause if it was per-neighbourhood, that would take up A LOT or HD space, but if it was per game, we wouldn't be able to have that many favourite families....

If I'm thinking right, and hopefully I'm right...

I'm hoping it's like TS2 with their different n-hoods, but instead of different n-hoods, it will save slot 1-slot 5. That's how people can have their own neighborhood, or people that does storytelling can have a neighborhood for movie making.  Like the one you choose would only run, and the rust won't even age or do anything, because you didn't select to play it.  Then if you want to go play another neighborhood, or your sister wants to start her own neighborhood, go back to the save slot/n-hood screen, and have her make her own.

(I wish it was like that)

Or it may just be families.  But I want one n-hood for gameplay and one for storytelling, because I want major events, aging, and free will in my gameplay one and almost nothing on in my movie making one.

I don't think the Neighbourhood you're not playing is going to age.

But I, personally will be stuck on Sunset Valley for a while. One neighbourhood and one legacy because legacies will be alot more fun from now on. everyone will age and carry their lives, even split in different households.

With TS2, if I had two kids and they grew up as adults, moved out, I couldn't be stuck on just one, because the daughter would get older then her own parents. So to make things more logical, I had to go back and play her younger brother's family as well. And her elder parents until they died. {wacko}

I think I'm off-topic now.

But wouldn't that restrict you to only 5 neighbourhoods? And if we can't add roads or lots (which I think we will be able to, with the neighbourhood creation tool) that would restrict us. And lots of people have MASSIVE neighbourhoods.

And you're not OT, it's comparing to TS2.

And I know the neighbourhood you're playing wont age, but it seems like you'll be able to make 5 copies of your neighbourhood, so you can "save" families.

and i'm asking wether the 5 save slots are going to be per neighbourhood (so you have 5 different versions of the (essentiallly) same neighbourhood, or for the whole game (so you can have 5 save slots, for all your neighbourhoods.
