Legacy Challenge: Should I start with one sim or a couple?

I usually start mine in empty worlds with married couples and gradually move other couples into town though singles can also be moved in and allowed to start to match up after they've made some good friends.My legacies are about playing a town through multiple generations instead of just playing a family.

Hi :)

I like starting with the Single Sim but gender doesn't matter to me since I like mixing it up (and not finishing a Legacy :lol: )

I usually start with a married couple. Gives a solid base/touch-point for me (plus I don't have to start my game trying to 'woo' anyone in order to begin a family whenever I'm ready to). (See my 'matriarch/patriarch' couple as my profile pic - very loosely based on my husband and I.) I develop their relationship, careers, then offspring. Then I bring in others to marry the offspring. I also make other households, communal living for career and financially support, and intermix these with members from the original household as they grow up and pair off at various times. I like to run large, challenging households with goals as a group and individually. Otherwise I tend to get bored fast. Plus I micromanage. A lot. But always on autonomy. I also play with aging off, but that's me. I age the kids up, but stop at adulthood normally. If they had a 'middle age, I would go for that also, but last I knew it went from adult to elder, and I find elders a bit of a pain in the butt with my playing style, which is rather 'Type A'. There are so many playing styles and ways to mix it up! Have fun!

Here's an update:
I made my chosen couple roommates and now they're on the fast-track to parenthood!
This is what I put in a post in a Facebook sims group:
(there were a lot of pics, so I'm sharing just the text)
I made these two (Carson Lowell and Annabeth Collins) prior to reinstalling my mods so they were 18 days from becoming adults from the start. They're now 13 days away from becoming adults and I unintentionally had them try for a baby! Carson was very stressed, so I clicked the moodlet to auto-solve it without looking to see what he was gonna do. Annabeth's face popped up and I thought, 'okay, they're gonna woohoo.' I was very wrong! Long story short: they're going to be parents and just got engaged after only two days of dating!

Have never played a real legacy, but roommates could be fun!

I always start with one female sim. No real reason, just do.

I always begin with either a boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife. That way, I can get to the fun part (the kids) straight away!
