Add old sims to TS4?

I have an entire Sims 3 in Sims 4 save. All the worlds are filled with builds reproduced from the Sims 3 and all the sims are re-made from Sims 3. Mind you, I had more fun doing the building than actually playing it, I don't really touch it any more.

Yes! In my Kookablarn save, actually, I added sims from TS2, TS3, and MySims! I think Nick and Vita Alto came out very well! :smiley:

And since I extended so many family trees, Daniel & Mary-Sue Pleasant, Brandi & Beau Broke, and Darren Dreamer from TS2 made it over, too!

There's so many more!

I haven't done it with the premade families, but I dedicated one of my Sims 4 save files to my "Sims 2." What I mean is that I made a list of the Sims I made in the Sims 2, and recreated the idea for Sims 4, so I still technically brought them over. The idea for doing that for the premade families is pretty interesting.

I have to admit I don’t do this because I don’t really care that much about TS3 sims (I barely remember any of them) and I super don’t care about TS2 premades because I never played that.

Honestly the only family I’d even want to recreate is the Landgraab Clones family, but it’d be basically impossible to dress them properly so whatever.

I recreated Felipe Marshall and Benjamin Schmidt from TS3 Pets.

One of my favorite saves has TS1 and TS2 characters in it. The ages really vary from prior games though. I really enjoy playing out their stories though in Sims 4. I play in rotation and very, very slowly since I play other saves also.
I have the Specter Family from Sims 2 but Olive and her sister are teenagers still and living with their parents. I'm waiting for a job or some other spooky pack to make it right for me even though I've got her backstory going of how she gets involved and influenced by the grim reaper as the family cemetery count rises. I just don't want her to grow up and start dealing with her husbands deaths yet. Even Buzz Grunt's wife is still alive in my game although she's infected/possessed. It will possibly add to her story as to why she ends up in the Specter's graveyard.
I really enjoy playing Don Lothario as he was presented in Sims 2 .. he's a real ladies man of course.
I have the Beaker Family (sadists) and Curious Family also but they are a little before Sims 2 time line also.
The Grunt Family, The maids from Sims 2, Actually Remington is a pretty central character but Kaylynn was made to replace Don's maid and add to the drama. I also have the Pleasants as they were in Sims 2 and The Broke Family with Skip still alive and well... actually he's a young adult and Brandi is still growing up and living with Bob and Betty Newbie. Darren Dreamer hasn't even met his wife yet either although I have his future house waiting for him to move into.
From the Sims 1 families like The Hi.cks, The Charmings, The old Goths, Ginia Kat.... and more overall from both games.
It's a fun way to play.

I've only brought the Sims I created over, myself. But I did that with Sims3, too.

I have a save with all the Sims 2 families that I spent the most time with. Goth, Brokes etc. I didn't create them though. I downloaded from gallery with their respective lots. I go in and play them now and then. I had Sims2 installed but after a cleanup I didn't feel much like doing all the extra "fixing" needed to get it to run the way I like. Might again depending on our winter weather and how housebound I am. LOL

on ts4, i like to remake my fav sims from the past games & the console versions. but i also give a makeover to returning sims, i gave mortimer his ts1 look. malcolm landgraab & the calientes have gotten a necessary makeover as well

I had one save where I added all the Sims 2 base families, but I accidentally deleted the save.

For the game I’m playing now, I added the Pleasants. When the university pack came out, I replaced the twins that came with the game with my twins.
