@IllusoryThrall Hey, sorry about not replying for so long! Well....what can I tell you about the mission that is playing Sims 4 on rotation!
I play house to house, it kind of looks alphabetical because when I split the households I tend to move them nearby. I have a spreadsheet that I fill out, listing every family household, the lot they live in, when I've played and I also fill out story ideas/sims to focus on so I have an idea for each blog post.
I've tried with paper as well, I tend to use that for planning my blog post uploads, so I know what family is up next and to tick off the photos I have ready.
I post every three days as this fits best, posting daily was too intense and once a week would mean I would only get through the rotation once a year as I currently have nearly 50 households (which I need to cut down, all my families are on a baby ban, one-two per household!!).
Great idea with sorting out the families ready, I have them on normal life span, which works well as I have the auto ageing off on the other households so no one grows up while I'm playing with other families. Normal works well, tend to have 2 blog posts with the children being that age, then 2 posts for them as teenagers and 4-6 as adults (hopefully that makes sense!). I don't want them to age up too quickly and have one blog post where I'm celebrating their birthday to a child and then the next blog post is them ageing to a teenager.
I really considered starting from scratch when I started actually blogging as I was already on generation 3/4 but decided not too. Reading them alphabetically is probably easiest as the neighbourhood rotation tends to change when I add in new households.
Keep me posted on how the rotation goes and a link when you start blogging, would love to see your take on rotating and how your families differ. I'm also interested to see how seasons will fit in. I might be posting blogs about Christmas in July for some families!!
