Anyone else have a problem with accidentally on purpose deleting families?

I always do this! I tend to get to gen 2 of a family and get bored/tired of playing them and I delete them. I only go as far as to start over and play a new Sim for just a week before I get nostalgic and think "I actually liked playing that family I wonder how their kids were gonna look omg I'm the worst Sim God for deleting and leaving them alone and I didn't back them up at all!"

I did this with 3 legacy families that I miss now, and now I keep making multiple saves of my current 4th one that I've had an itch to delete while I was cleaning out saves a few times before...
