Do you care about Premades? 👨👨👧👦
Do you play with premades or do your Sims befriend them? Which ones are your favourites? I play since The Sims 1 and never cared much about Premades. When The Sims 4 came out I even replaced th...

It very much depend on the game, and my idea for it. I usually give the premades a make-over and just like having them around and make my own head canon about them. Most often they are just background, sometimes friends, but it does happen that I play with them too.
In one save I started out as Johnny Zest, he briefly dated Dana Caliente, but ending up marrying an original sim and moved to Sulani and broke it up with Dina when his wife to be found out he was flirting and almost threw him out. To be fair I've never seen such a realistic reaction before, and she didn't even have the jealous streak! Johnny literary had to beg to make her forgive him. It was such fun to play. He lived to a ripe old age and had two adorable children.
I've also played the Pleasants, though I quickly became quite fond of Angela, struggling to keep her wild sister in check. She found a random townie to marry who came over randomly because he heard she'd just got a dog. They ended up having 5 kids and moving to Brindleton. I got quite attached to their "little" family.
In my present save Julia Ward is a close friend of one of my sim, and a sort of mentor of her career introducing her to all the right people. The Goths are related by marriage to another one of my sims (although this is technically not the premade Goths, as they have not been born yet. Mortimer's grandfather Victor is set to age up to a teenager fairly soon.)
I played with some of them in the beginning when I got the game, but for a long time now the first thing I do when I get a new world is delete all the premades and bulldoze their houses. I prefer to populate the world and build everything myself. Most of the Sims living in and wandering around the worlds are from Sims 2. There's also a few from Bustin' Out and Urbz. The Sims 4 premades just don't hold any interest for me.
I literally play my game hopping between all households, of course I love premades! I did play aging off in a different file and I felt super weird not having my usual premades around for me to bounce off of.
Favorites are the Goths, Landgraabs, Behr household (the first sim I visited married Candy, one of my favorite designs), Munch (I have some delicious drama with the family going on), and the Villareals. Get Together remains a favorite for added townies in my file.
