SAVE FILES
Why does it ask me to Restart The Sims 4 when switching between Trial Saves and my existing Saves?
The Sims 4 will ask you if you want to restart your game so that it can include or exclude the Get Famous Trial from your current session.
Selecting to restart when going back to a non-trial save will keep the Get Famous Trial on your PC/Mac for when you want to come back to the trial later. When you want to play with Get Famous again, load a saved game or start a new trial save and you’ll be asked to restart the game so that Get Famous can be included in your session for as long as the trial is available.
Can I use my saves with the Trial?
Yes. If you want to put Get Famous into saved games you have already created, you can. Simply select your Save from the LOAD screen on the Main Menu and when asked if you want to PLAY WITH TRIAL? Select Yes, Start as New Trial Save. Once you do that, The Sims 4 will make a copy of your save to use with the trial and lets you save your progress without affecting your original saved game files.
I created a new Trial save based on my existing save, how do I tell the difference?
If you load an existing save while using the Get Famous Trial, we will copy your save and rename it for you so that it can be identified as a Trial save. Once you have loaded your save, you can hit Save to finish applying the Trial to your save game. If you do not save your session, you will still have a Trial save but it will not use Get Famous and you will be able to use the save without the Trial content.
What happens to my Trial Saved Games when the trial ends?
Your saves created while using the Get Famous Trial will still be available after the trial ends. If you choose to add Get Famous to your collection, you will be able to pick up where your saves left off.
