tell me about your main family

I don't really have a main family right now because I'm playing a town as a whole. I guess if I had to pick one, my "main" household would actually be my factory workers who all live and work at the factory because they're the only ones whose story I've really begun to flesh out.

It revolves around Etta and Eula, two sisters in Victorian times who have led sheltered lives and are forced to fend for themselves when their father dies and leaves them in debt. They end up working at a factory for a mean boss who keeps a bat by his desk. One of them copes through drink and the other sister copes by placing her affections on a cute coworker. There are more details in their story here if you're interested: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/963548/back-then-sims-in-the-1800s-stories

I suppose my main family is my legacy family and currently generation 3 are growing up :)
I play rotationally so do also give my spares stories and work on their ambitions etc. Currently I have 2 favourite Sims, one of my 3rd gen spares and a daughter of one of my second gen spares. They are so full of character.
Their story is over at my blog:

Ive got ideas for 2 more Sims that I'd like to play at some point, one was made by my 3 year old so she's full of colour but I'm just thinking of a story for her.
I'm also very tempted to download a version of nervous subject I saw on MTS and have him run wild in my town!

@sueplayssims "Sul Sul foxy lady!” omg that is such a great line!!!

I am just starting a new rotational project in San Myshuno. Still in the setting up phase.

Yuri Saitō is going to live in the Fountainview Penthouse. She’s a writer. The original version of her went to the Wishing Well and ended up with a soulmate who was a ghost. Therefore, Yuri became quite the foodie in action, if not in trait or career. I was trying to get her to make ambrosia when her game got buggy. :/ I’m probably going to redo some version of this plot.


The Davis family are brand new. Cooper Davis is a big, soft man. I’ve decided he’s from old money; but really his style is untucked shirt, messy medium length hair pulled back. Currently Cooper is an armature entertainer {thanks to CAS stories} but I really want this family to be my first to own a restaurant. Cooper is married to Clare. Clare is his opposite in many ways. Thin, stern faced and very appearance conscious. Clare is from new money, but wants the status of old money. The Davis’ have a young son; Connor. He’s a fussy toddler. Clare has very interesting traits; being family-oriented, creative and evil. Clare is a conflicted person I guess. It’s kinda like the Pancake family in most ways. I don’t know if the relationship will ultimately last -here’s hoping.


Alexis Lily Glass is a young, red-headed, Independent woman. She lives in the historical, haunted unit of the Culpepper apartments. She’s at the bottom of the corporate {business} ladder. A little time to save and the world is her oyster. I literally don’t know what passions she’ll discover.


There will be one more household, because I play 28 days seasons and then one week to a household rotation. I spend the week of, say, winter then do it over again with the next family. In my mind it is happening at about the same time and aging is set to accomodate this view.
I just haven’t planned/sorted the final family yet.
