I have all kinds of sims in the same save. When I get bored with one household, I switch to another one, and sometimes I build. It's nice to pick up when you left and there is already a story line started and sometimes I may do a plot twist and change their story around. I only play them when I get fresh ideas and enthusiasm for them and depending on my mood. I still get to see my sims around town when I am not playing them and get to interact with them and include them in my gameplay indirectly so they are not completely forgotten.
I do this as well, Crocobaura; I always have, with all my The Sims games, right from the start. Generally I will start a new family when a new pack featuring a new world is released, so I can have fun learning about all the new stuff in CAS for it. But all my sims and their worlds, and builds, are on one save. Like you, I enjoy seeing my sims interacting in all the different worlds, all together.
That's what I did when Lovestruck came out. A made a new household specifically for testing a few of the gameplay in Lovestruck, especially the relationship dynamics. The couple I created is horribly incompatible and has different ideas of how they want to live their life, so their relationship is a constant struggle, requires a lot of effort and the odd visit with the therapist. They're on the same save as the rest of my households and usually, I try to let my households befriend each other. In this case, however, most of my other households just hate the new guy I created because he simply isn't very likeable.
It seems so obvious reading it, but I never thought to keep my new pack sims in the game I'm already playing. I always start a new save to try it out.
