Your gameplay sounds a lot like mine. I am constantly focusing on skills and the household and rarely have outside relationships, which is why I avoid a political career and any others that require a high charisma. When building, it's common for me to forget to put mirrors in the house. :lol:
I found the 10-generation challenge fits well with my gameplay. My Sim families typically have two or more children and they stayed in the household until they were young adults and the next generation's heir took over. The only exception to this were the first two generations of my Forsythe Legacy Family challenge where they both had an only child. Sometimes the others didn't move out at all unless I ran out of room. (I use the mod for overstuffed households now. I have the nursery on the first floor and put all of the bedrooms in the basement. Skill items for science, logic, sculpting, alchemy, etc go into the sub-basement under the bedrooms. My main floor just has the living room, kitchen, laundry, and library.)
By playing multiple families in the same household, there is so much going on. I like to share my stories, so I pause the game a lot and use the TAB key to try to get the perfect shot. I don't have any goals in mind other than fulfilling immediate wishes and lifetime wishes. I love the personalities of the different Sims. They keep me entertained with their antics.
The only townie I have played is Bella Bachelor because she married my 2nd generation's heir. I didn't even think about how that would affect Mortimer and the future of the town in that regard. I didn't follow the townies during that time, so I have no idea who he ended up marrying. :open_mouth:
The father of my 2nd generation's heir was Gobias Koffee. I never controlled him as the rules of the challenge prevented my Sim from marrying a rich Sim, so she hid her pregnancy from him until their son became a teenager.
Welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your time here. (I gave you an awesome on all of your posts to help you get to full member status sooner.) Happy Simming!
