I haven't been able to keep up with all the patches in the last year. I did do some searching, but couldn't find the answer to this, so thought I'd throw it up to see if there's an answer.
My question involves the gameplay settings, so things like lifespan, sim autonomy, etc. The last I knew, when you changed the gameplay settings in one game, it changed it for all games you played. Is this still the case? At one time, it used to be if you changed it for each individual game, it would only change them for that game, but it got changed along the way so that if you changed the gameplay settings, it changed it for all of them. So for example, if I played a game on Long lifespan, it changed it for all of my games. I would have to constantly adjust the settings every time I jumped to one of my other saves which gets old quick.
I know one work-around was having a different Sims 4 folder for each different set of gameplay settings. So say you're playing an RDC with those specific settings, that would be named Sims 4-RDC when not playing it (and any other games that you'd want those specific settings for). Same way with an IDC, would be named Sims 4- IDC when not playing it etc.
I ask, because I want to do the challenge tournament, but was wondering if there was a way to do the gameplay settings without multiple folders, or if that's the only way at this point.
