never done a legacy thing, only vaguely know they exist and have rules of some sort. but, for partners for my sims, it varies drastically. sometimes a townie will catch my eye while i'm playing certain sims, seeming like a good match. very, very rarely, this will be an unaltered townie. usually i wind up editing my townies a lot. mostly outfits/hair, but sometimes more (almost never traits, though. klepto townies get deleted. most everyone else stays and keeps their traits). other times, i'll design a sim from scratch, but treat them like a townie. and sometimes, i get thrown a loop and things wind up nothing like i would have expected...
examples:
my first sim ever was evil and genius...i forget the third trait. she hated everybody, was cruel to everyone she saw, except for one teenage girl. that teen came over every day, chatted, and they maxed friendship pretty quickly (even without my help). when the teen aged up, they started flirting and eventually married. that save is long, long gone, though, sadly.
second save was after get to work came out, playing an alien. a random townie walking by her house caught her eye. and he wound up being named 'orion', which made me decide they would get together. he also turned out to be a scientist. it seemed pure perfection. this save also got corrupted eventually, and is now gone.
the save i have now... again, started playing with an alien, but i created an astronaut for her to marry. they're still my main household and...well, make the landgraabs look poor
this save also has their eldest daughter married to a 'bad boy' vampire i created, but treated as a townie. and a townie i decided i needed to play and find a boyfriend after i saw him jogging down the street once. this townie is where the 'thrown a loop' comes into play... while playing him, i saw another townie that i thought would be a good match. found out that second townie was an alien, and had both the 'evil' and 'loves family' traits, which got me curious how they'd interact. so, i moved the alien into a house and started playing him a bit. which led me to discover that he already had a romantic interest. another alien who also loved family, but was good. i felt that those two would tell a better story than this alien getting together with the original townie. and boy did they. had twins together, loved the kids, but constantly got into fights, eventually went their separate ways, the evil one has been abducted twice, got pregnant both times, joined the secret agent career as a villain, became best friends with his diamond agent coworker and neighbor, bella goth, even though she's good to his evil.
