I've done it in game it's one of my play norms. I find it hard to run multiple people in one house though and I get some strange reactions that I didn't want in the story even with the player trait. So usually sims like that are more open relationship singles or couples who have other relationships together or apart. I've been doing this in the game since Sims 2, mostly because the romance aspiration was the most fun or funny for me.. and pretty easy compared to some of the others. The game mechanics do make it hard sometimes though even with the player trait so I either ignore reactions I didn't want to see or I laugh about them.. or work them into the story. Right now I'm playing a monogamous couple although its a funny couple .. remade Bob and Betty Newbie. I might have Bob get really lucky in the future though... it will be slapstick.
I'm pretty sure more people do this in game than mention it in a public forum by the way... I think with stigma directed to this relationship orientation, it's easier to be quiet about it.. just like so many other things in life. Especially if people are sensitive about what other people say about them or what names are associated with anyone that isn't monogamous.
I like to play it different ways myself though for different stories... just "normal" sims that are polyamorous... to sleazy lounge lizard types that are knowingly cheating... and some types in between.
