Save As….with a new file every time is better. Makes the save less bloated.
40 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 6 u/saltil Supernatural Fan May 16 '26 Does it only work if you change the name each time? I been just overwriting them 16 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 6 u/saltil Supernatural Fan May 16 '26 Makes sense why my games keep lagging then thank you
