The Sims 4: Semyonov Dictatorship Save File – Coming Soon

This save file was made with the goal to add difficulty to the Sims 4, add fanmade lore and general touch-ups to the existing pre-mades, and add a North Korean dystopian flavour.

Welcome to the Sims 4, but under a dictatorship! Not so long ago now, the meteoric Dr. Theodore Semyonov rose to power through a brutal political and military takeover. All Sims now must abandon their previous lives of decadence to instead focus on simple noble labour, living in identical houses and wearing identical clothing.

Save Setup

Import provided CC (Required, portraits will not display otherwise)
Select a pre-made family to play with first
Play with temperature effects on Sims OFF
Play with an existing house
Disable MCCC story progression, disable Neighbourhood Stories
Play with Aging Off for both Played and Unplayed Sims
Play with the mod SimSpawnOverhaul and ensure only Sims from the local neighbourhood can be in lots (Optional, may be immersion breaking without it)

What Packs Will I Need?

I made this save file not really considering trying to limit things to base game, sorry. At the very least you will need Get Famous as Get Famous’s fame system is how this save separates party members from non-party members and enforcing party member-only venues. I have fully removed San Sequoia and Copperdale (except the high school), Magnolia Promenade, Tartosa, Moonview Mill, etc, mostly because I wasn’t bothered rehashing the same “oh it’s a dictatorship here” given there are less premades there compared to earlier packs.

Rules

Obviously I cannot enforce these rules, but if you don’t follow them it may defeat some point of the save

Your Sims may not have TVs, computers, tablets, robot vacuums, arcade machines, drafting tablets, digital cameras, ssmotion gaming rigs, a video production station, robots/servos [except robot arms], Lin-Z speakers, etc
Your Sims may not wear makeup unless you are playing an influential Sim/party member
You may not build new houses, lots, etc, unless you are creating a secret hangout for storytelling purposes or the like.
You may not evict nor move Re-Education Camp Sims as a group, however, you may remove individual Sims, and move individual Sims in.
Your Sims should only become famous through random work events OR by joining the Politician career. This is because the fame system is used to separate party members from non-party members and allow party members access into party member only venues.
Spellcasters will probably break the save’s balance. The Sims 4 is already a very, very, very easy game imo and Spellcasters
Try to avoid moving Sims to different neighbourhoods.

Rules for Basemental Drugs

Marijuana must be illegal in every neighbourhood
Police Difficulty must be on High

Allowed Careers

Your Sim cannot join any other career besides these listed below. Your Sim may go to university but keep in mind not all of the degrees may correspond to a career your Sim can join.
