Re: Can the Sims I create be in the same city so they can interact with each other

@boromirschik Okay.  So if you want to remove those sims from the affordable houses, you can evict them.  You might also want to check your Gameplay settings.  Click on the three dot menu in the upper right, click game options and gameplay.  If you have "fill empty homes" checked, the game will auto fill the empty houses with random "homeless" sims.  

The sims who wander around in the towns is randomized.  If you create two families and play one of them, you will likely see the unplayed family wandering around as your played family travels to different areas.  However, the best way to have the families interact is to have your played family visit the unplayed family. For example play the Dracula household and send them over to visit Vampira's and Morticia's house.  Once they're introduced, then the Dracula family members can travel with Vampira or Morticia to other areas or you can invite them to hang out using the phone.  Once the families have enough friendship, the unplayed family will start calling to ask to hang out and will stop by your played family's house regularly.

  • I evited some of the unplayed characters and then I went to their house and In had an option to create a sim to move in, so I just recreated the Dracula family and made them next door neighbors.  This worked.

    @boromirschik I'm glad you were able to make it work!  You said you "recreated the Dracula family".  Does that mean you had already created that family once?  If so, do you know you can add families that you've created and saved in your library?  Any time you create and play a household, that household will be automatically saved in your library.  So if you ever want to start a new game, you can load a saved household without having to create them all over again.  Once they're in CAS, you can edit them before playing if you want to; like change their clothes, hair, features, body types, traits, etc.

    When you're in create a sim, click the gallery button in the upper right corner...

    Click on the My Library tab...

    Click on the family you want to load, then click the Place Household button...

    Then you get a prompt to either replace the sim already in CAS or merge your saved family with that sim...

    Hope this helps!
