As a former native Texan, I love love love long, single-story ranch-style brick homes. I love seeing them translated in the game. It’s weird how, like, you take something so simple, yet comforting, for granted when you enter build/buy usually.
I love one story houses both in the game and not. It's too much to be running up and down the stairs for 8 sims lol but also, we have a lot of one story houses in my town and I also love the mid-century style homes too. So I like them in the game. I have never seen the houses look so real tho. Now I have a new goal😅
We all must have cities built around the same time. I live in mid Michigan (about 2 hours north of Detroit since that is all anyone knows lol). A lot of the houses were built between the 1920s and 1970s and they are all either somewhat boxy two story houses or the ranch style. I’ve lived in 5 different houses throughout my life and this is the first I’ve ever lived in that was 2 stories. I always thought I wanted two stories so I looked for that when I bought a house for the first time. NGL. I regret that. Lol.
The save file is so beautiful and their build style is to die for. It’s so effortless and effective. Just looking at the detail in the homes gives so much history and context to the families
So I've been looking for a Life is Strange vibe world late 90's early 2000's vibe save file because I'm doing a really deep storyline for that time so all my sims have that nostalgic look to them and some of the y2k looks as well. This save file is perfect for the vibe I'm going for so I'm excited! I am waiting for Copperdale to be finished though because I know Windbrook will slay Copperdale so hard as well as that's the world my sims will mainly take place but omg this save file is so good and I'm excited to use it
The ranch houses made me so happy, I too love ranch homes. I also grew in a two story house. I prefer everything on one floor with the exception of a basement. Ranch homes look so cozy! This save file is the MOST realistic I’ve seen. 💙🌊 I love the Ramona lp!
Thank you for the overview friend! And thank you for making a family for the save, I love them so much. This gave me an opportunity to see things that needs to be fixed and/or updated. I always forget something at the end lol.
I typically dislike snow because we get so much of it in Indiana, but this video is so beautiful and cozy I find myself actually wanting a day or two of snow.
Whenever I watch one of these save file overview videos, at first I feel a little discouraged. I feel like these are SO much better and have way more character than any of my builds, and that my progress on my save is basically nothing. And that even when it is done, it will be terrible compared to this and other saves. But after that initial wave of frustration, I feel SO much inspiration to continue to improve my builds, and my save as a result. And I get very excited to incorporate the inspiration for these builds into later worlds in my save. I guess what I’m trying to say is, thank you for making these videos! (And thank you to the save creators.) After the beginning frustration, I always end up finishing one of these videos very encouraged and inspired. And I just appreciate all of your videos in general, they’re great!🤍
I totally understand! But I’m so proud on you for not giving up! It’s great to have a little inspiration and look at it that’s at instead ☺️ Building a save file is a daunting task, what you’re doing is hard work! With that said - you’re doing great! 💙
Life is strange core is my absolute favourite. I'm definately using this in my new storyline, it fits perfectly! Have to say your skills are immaculate, thank you for blessing us with such an amazing save file
I haven't had a chance to hop into the save myself as I don't have a lot of the packs but thanks for the lovely overview. Windbrook has such a unique build style and even in it's simplicity it makes the all the worlds feel so alive! This was so much fun to work on.
Love, love, love the realism here especially with the one story starter homes. I'm not necessarily a sucker for ranch style but I love that the ones you showed remind me of ones I've lived in or recognize from childhood.
This is my first ever time landing on one of your videos. ☺️ I love your soothing voice, I love the way you present all the builds, and I loooove the building style and realism here! So so so good! Inspires me to open my Sims riiiight now and start building 🤩
Yey, safe file that's not filled with clutter! I am currently starting my save file (accidently lost last one) and it's so hard to find good builds where houses are airy and not too cluttered.
Also wanted to say the first ranch style home you showed, looks a lot like my childhood home I grew up in from the outside lol so I felt the nostalgia with that one! A lot of ranch style homes back then on the main floor there is only one bathroom or a jack and jill bathroom so the attention to detail is so cool!! My house had a basement but the outside just reminded me of my childhood home so much!! I'm definetley going to use that home when I play in the save
Really late, but I usually just save my households and convert them over.. sure they lose their relationship statuses but I use UI cheats to quickly fix that to be maxed or negative or whatever pretty quick.
@ im a really annoying player because i love my saves to be perfect, like families and houses and personalities. it takes up SO much time. likely when the creator of windbrook makes their next save file ill probably just start all over. its time for a new mods folder anyways. thanks for the response though, ill start saving my households so i dont lose them!!
This save file is so beautiful and full of details, I am looking forward to changing how I play the Sims as I'm about to change from PS5 to PC can't wait to explore this and more save files thanks for sharing with all of us.
I love your videos. I only recently found your channel and I’m watching the Lovesick while I play my own sims and just love it. Thank you for being such a great storyteller. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been using ratsave’s save file but I think I’m gonna need to get this 😍😍😍 it’s sooo realistic even though I’m from England, I still appreciate the real life cities influence😍😍👏🏾
I haven't been able to download the save file. If there is a link, I can't find it. Windbrook (1.0) files were on dropbox, so that was easy, but the download for 2.0 is a mystery to me.
I love this so much! I normally stick with my two favorite save files but I need to get this asap. I love ranch style houses as well, the stairs are just too much all the time lol. I love the family you made I’ll be playing with them for sure 🤍
Yes, you need simrealist bank mod IF you want to utilize it that way. It’s actually set up with everything needed to play with that mod. If you don’t want it - it’s okay , you can just use your imagination it’s just there for realism ;)
I played with your family in the save file and the husband and wife just kept getting into it. None of their conversations ever were positive. 😮 i’m not sure if that was a glitch.
Is it still for sure based off of Michigan? I thought I read one of the creator's post saying they were making it California based for 2.0 so Im not sure if I missed an update to that or something. That said, it does feel very Michigan/Midwest to me (and I love it) :)
Click Load Game in the main screen Click Windbrook 2.0 save Click options and save as , save it as a new game , rename it , so you always have the original untouched Enjoy
so sorry to bother you and omg i love your videos, your channel is my comfort content lol . i downloaded it and its not showing up under load game. im not sure what i did wrong.@@oshinsims
hi! im new to save files, and i was wondering if loading and playing in a save file (like this) will make the game laggy? im playing on a gamer laptop - i dont have any issues with mods in general
So is it for free? I’m new guys 😂 well new to saving files,cc and much more so basically new😂😅❤ and can smbd explain like what i van and can’t do if i can save a file ? Can i „play“ on here and if so with a new character or with one on the saved file😂❤
@kennathesimmerr I looked it up myself by using the info presented in the video and the link to download is on their original post if I'm not mistaken.
I broke my ankle running to click on this video
Amazing save file, your voice was so soothing it almost put me to a deep slumber, you’re Amazing Oshin. 🩷

Thank you for this masterpiece friend! Lol no, this is beautiful. I swear if you were a sim you’d have the perfectionist trait 😂💙
@@oshinsims Girl it's a CURSE! My anxiety be peaking, I can't help it.
Also, the skating rink omg 🥹😍😍😍
Isn’t it perfect 😩
the newcrest world is amazing! the single story houses and the downtown area look just like my small town here in alabama
I typically dislike snow because we get so much of it in Indiana, but this video is so beautiful and cozy I find myself actually wanting a day or two of snow.
Same, on everything you said. I'm not looking forward to the winters here, hate snow!! but this triggers the kid in me growing up in Indiana.🤗
Ugh Indiana... I remember one year when I was in high school; it was like -30 and I had like 2 weeks of snow days.
@@jiminsbitch212 yep. Those snow days are still here. My school was always out on snow days.

yay i was waiting so much for this overview i loved the new updates!
i was so waiting on you to overview this world since it came out!
This save file looks so pretty and cozy! Can’t wait to play it ❤
I'm loving this. So comfy and cozy. I love the color tones 😍
I really need to get my hands on this save file. It looks AMAZING! ❤

I was surprised nobody mentioned western PA. This is very much the surrounding areas of Pittsburgh. I can’t wait to get the update 🥺
Wow, it looks sooo good! Especially with your shaders on!
I am obsessed with this! I absolutely love the furniture store!
Great save file! I'm going to have to download it right away. The skating rink is so cool and perfect!
i miss the ramona lp so badd 😭 it got me into investing time in my sims’ storylines fr
omg I AM SO EXCITED
i have been WAITING for this save file
i wish i could update my save because i started my save on 1.0.. now all my sims are there. my heart is BROKEN

Idk if its the save or your your voice that makes me want to play the game slow paced and peaceful with some hot coco 😊
I havn't been in the mood to play sims in months, clicked on this vid heard your voice and instantly missed playing
💙🥹
i forgot i installed this save file. it looks so cute in the winter omg

nothing is cozier then your voice!
Hope this doesn't come off as weird but your voice is very calming ❤

Definitely reminds me of Chicago great job, Ohshin girl your content is always amazing
18:20 OMG YESSS
I miss Ramona so much 🥺🥺
So that's why you made that family huh? The house is AWESOME, and the save file as well.
Ramona is like my second favorite LP of yours 🥺🩵
I miss it 😩
Yes, Windbrook back❤
Lemme go grab my laptop and download this file 💻🤓
Wow so beautifully!!

You had me at cc free 😮
When are you dropping the family 😢🙈 this savefile is beautiful I see like homes like this where I live all the time so realistic !

Windbrook uploaded the tray files on the post for me if you want to get them rn💙
@@oshinsimsthank youuuu bby❤
The buildings scream rual midwest , I need
I loveeee this save file
my guess is the shrouders house is so elegant and furnished because they own a furniture store
They do! It’s so fitting 😍
Can someone maybe tell me how it works when a Save file gets an update? Do I have to download it al over?
Oh it's beautiful 😍
i live in michigan detroit, and the save is very similiar!
The real world vibes 😂 yesss! Lol
6:40 I can honestly say I don't like that the starter homes are basically shells because I suck at furnishing houses, even starter homes.
Aw I’m sorry! I love move in ready starter homes like this 🥹
I live in MI and this is so homey and spot on ❤️

It’s giving sheltered shrubs from the neighborhood that ginger lives in on as told by ginger if you know you know 😍

Oooo this looks like a Michigan suburb
Pls I need all the info on your reshade, presets, lighting mods etc.😮💨😮💨 your game looks awesome

Thank you! I’ll work on it, so sorry for the wait 😩
I wish they had these lots sepeartely on the gallary
they do :)
Wow 😮 how are they painting ceilings?? I’ve been wanting to do that forevrrrrrr
That’s a new base game feature that was added when The sims 4 horse ranch came out ! :)

did you place it in your saves folder , not mods?

As an "older" player lol, how do I add this to my game?
When you download it, place it in your “saves” folder not your mods folder ! 💙

Nice pronunciation on Peña-Rodrigez
It kind of gives a nostalgic feel. And reminds me of the Sims 3 spring valley almost. 🥹😭❤️
Are you using a mod to expand the sim info panel? If so- what is it?
No mod, it’s draggable :)
I love this save file ❤️ I have a question when I download the file will the cars be parked on the street or do I have to already have the tool mod?
Yes! The cars and extra details will appear as such. I don’t have the tool mod in my game 💙
I love this but I only own like maybe 20% of the DLCs… 💔
Wow. I'm from Ohio, and this looks EXACTLY like Parma, Ohio.
Argh, please @oshinsims, make a let’s play here! 😭😍 I think I speak for many of us haha
