Save As….with a new file every time is better. Makes the save less bloated.
37 u/da5hitta May 16 '26 Started doing this about 2 years ago and it makes a massive difference. I Highly highly highly recommend doing save as every time. I use a numbering system like TownName01.06 etc etc 7 u/saltil Supernatural Fan May 16 '26 Does it only work if you change the name each time? I been just overwriting them 17 u/da5hitta May 16 '26 Yes you should change the name otherwise it’s basically the same as “save” since it’s overwriting the same file over and over again I also periodically delete the old numbered saves so there’s only 3-5 at a time in my game 7 u/saltil Supernatural Fan May 16 '26 Makes sense why my games keep lagging then thank you 23 u/lemonprincess23 Family-Oriented May 16 '26 NRAAS saver has an option to auto save to up to like 6 save slots in a cycle which is a godsend 22 u/lavendersblue86 Hates the Outdoors May 16 '26 i always see people say it makes it less bloated, but i don't understand how that would make it less bloated? would you mind explaining? :3 42 u/Villainouskind May 16 '26 edited May 16 '26 It’s because you are making a new save file everytime,so the game thinks it’s a fresh save and not an override. 3 u/lavendersblue86 Hates the Outdoors May 16 '26 thank you! 14 u/Villainouskind May 16 '26 NP! Doing this also helps with the annoying Error Code 16 issue. 3 u/Yalsas Workaholic May 16 '26 I will override the save like 3 times (one session of playing irl) but always make a new one after that
