How to save a house in your library

The personal library in The Sims 4 is a great place to store all your creations and enjoy them again in other saves. This feature will be especially useful if you've spent hours building the house of your dreams and want to save it for later use without necessarily sharing it with other players. To save a house in your personal library, follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to the lot where the house you want to save is located
  2. Activate Build Mode by clicking on the hammer icon in the top menu
  3. Locate and select the Save button in My Library in the toolbar
  4. Choose the Save Lot option
  5. Fill in the requested information, such as the lot name, number of rooms and bathrooms
  6. Add a detailed description if you wish (this will help you easily find your creation later)
  7. Click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the screen to finalize the save

Your house is now saved in your personal library and you can access it at any time. The most efficient way to save a house in The Sims 4? Saving it in Build Mode! This will let you freely use the house at any time in any save file. It's the perfect method for keeping your creations on hand, or simply as a backup before making changes.

How to share a house on The Sims 4 Gallery

The Sims 4 Gallery is a very active and effective community tool, where Sims, houses and lots from players around the world are shared.

To share your house on the Sims 4 Gallery, follow these steps:

1. In Build Mode, go to the lot containing the house you want to share.
2. Locate and click the "Save Lot" button in the top toolbar.
3. Click "Save Lot" in the menu that appears.
4. Carefully fill in the information about your creation (name, number of rooms, etc.).
5. Write a description that grabs attention and makes other players want to download your creation.
6. Click the button in the bottom left corner of the screen to publish your creation to the Gallery.

Once your house is published on the Gallery, it will be available to all Sims 4 players.

Note

Be careful not to forget to add hashtags related to your creation to give it more visibility.

It is also possible to save and share rooms rather than the entire lot. Simply, in Build Mode, select the room to save and instead of keeping the "lot," choose to save the room.
