I know I read somewhere recently that someone figured out how to share sims without using the gallery, and something about the consequences of doing so, but every time I search for anything on the Sims4 anywhere it's like google hates me and I can only find old threads on the same topics for Sims3 and Sims2.

I just want to get the sims I made in the CAS demo in my game without uploading them to the gallery.

Thanks!

I believe, but don't quote me on this as I've not been able to test it yet, that sims (households) are saved in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo\Tray folder. Listed as a *.householdbinary file.

Yes just move those files to the main ts4 folder named the same I think

Thank you so much!

Does anyone remember hearing something about sharing sims this way, they lose information or something that they would gain if they were shared through the gallery? I don't remember if it is important, maybe something about the creator name, which I don't really care about since I'm sharing with myself, but I vaguely remember something there were a couple of things so want to check in case they might matter to me later. I know there was a thread about it somewhere . . .
