    Are there different save files you can use for this game? Like can you create two independent characters in their own worlds? I'm planning on getting this for my sister for Christmas but I might want to try it out at some point as well. Making sure that there is such a feature just in case.

    I know you can have characters in different towns. Don't know if characters in the same town would have different worlds.

    But I mean, the two characters in different towns, they would be completely independent of each other as if you had two copies of the game? Like how one character file in Mass Effect won't affect another character type of thing and you can select which one to use in the menu?

    Yes. One saved file will contain everything in that town, and a different save file would have different stuff.

    @Geno: Yes I do believe you can create different neighbourhoods, with each being totally independant of one another.

    I'm looking at my game menu right now, and I only see four slots. I only have two used, so I don't know if it continues after four.
