Populating a World?

[mallory419]

Hi there!
I see that someone else has already created a post for this, but it didn't really answer my question.
So I'm about halfway done creating a world, and I plan on making it available to the public. I'm a little bit confused with populating it, and I just need someone to tell me if I have the right idea;
So when I'm finished with my world, I have all of my lots done, routing is good, roads are nice, then I open it with my launcher like I'm about to start a new game. I create families (I'll probably use cheats to give them relationships & jobs) and then save the game. When I'm posting my world I post the save file too, and it won't mess anything up?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you also mean to move them into the houses you want. Otherwise, yes, that is exactly it. Just make sure that you leave a few houses empty, otherwise the game will almost immediately move out some families, because there is a minimum requirement of empty homes to be available.
