This save file is a WIP! I absolutely adore the style of anime Studio Ghibli creates and I (ambitiously) wanted to create a save file in Sims 3 that simulates that vibe. I've been building a quirky, cute and wholesome which will hopefully be packed with personality and charm when it is finished 🤞

Some of my favourite Studio Ghibli films which have inspired this save file are; Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo.

I will be creating all new builds, sims and backstories to make this save file complete and fun! I'm not necessarily creating replica's of the places and characters from Studio Ghibli films but I am trying to capture the style in my builds :D

I'm so excited to be working on this project and I'll update this post as often as I can with the progress :)

Save File Details:

Requires ALL Stuff Packs and all Expansions apart from Into the Future and Seasons for it to look exactly the same in game as how I created it.

- Please note that if you do not have some of these Expansion / Stuff Packs then items/lots/sims will either not appear, be replaced or be modified automatically but the save file should still work.

This save file has no custom content (CC) or mods.

EA STORE CONTENT USED (this is not essential to play with this save file)

I tried to minimise my use of store content, however I have used some items from the store, I have listed the store items at the end of this page (and the lots I used them for so you would know what may have been replaced or what may be missing). It is 100% not essential for you to have any of this content for gameplay so please do not feel the need to purchase anything for this save file.

These are the screenshots and details I have to share so far...

WORLD TRANSFORMATIONS

COMMERCIAL BUILDS:

The Ceremonial Temple (Wedding Venue)

The Salon, Tattoo Parlor & Sushi Bar

The Market & 7 Eleven

The Library

RESIDENTIAL BUILDS & RESIDENTS

The Carpenter's House

The Fisherman's House

The Farm House

UNOCCUPIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDS:

A little Neighbourhood

These are the objects/sets from the TS3 store I have used in this save file:

You do not need to purchase these if you don't own them. If you don't own these items then they will either be replaced or be missing from your game and that's not the end of the world :)
