What I mean by "test" is that the Sim's existence is solely based on being used as a guinea pig of sorts--it's not a household you play regularly, their only purpose is to either test things or set th...

Yes, I have a Sim, Tina Tester, to playtest challenge builds and BG update features. I also create tester Sims with 'regular' names to test new EP and GPs features. I made 4-5 just to test EL. Normally I don't test SPs, they typically only include 1-2 gameplay objects. However, I did create a couple for NK.
Tina has been my tester for years, usually I place a copy of her in a current save to test things. But I've been playing the Drifter challenge since March and didn't want to mess up that file due to all the bugs/glitches in the EL pack and patch. So I decided to create new test Sims and saves instead. I don't know why I didn't just use copies of Tina, I guess maybe I just like making Sims! :D
Some of my tester Sims get promoted to regular game play too. For instance, my current Sim created to test playing on a short life span had a baby with Darrel Charm. I was thrilled to discover the child has a Spellcaster ancient bloodline! I've never had a born in game Spellcaster before so I'm going to keep playing this household while I wait for an EL pack/patch fix. :)
Happy Simming! <3
