Do you play with townies/premades?

I either play many of the premades or they are friends/lovers of my sims. 99,9% game-generated townies will get deleted, I loathe everything about them with passion and want nothing to do with them.

A lot. They're main characters in all my saves. Specifically the ones from vampires and realm of magic.

I give them make over and build them houses, but I don't usually play with them, unless my sims marry one of them. I love having them around and befriending them.

There is no "I exclusively play premades" option so I can't really vote.

I love the challenge of having to relate to households I would not myself create. It may take a while to find something I like about them, but since there are so many I'm in no hurry.

I do play my own sims sometimes but I spend more time with premades.

I love playing with the premades! I do have a few families of my own, but I tend to play neighborhoods in rotation, so all of the premades are included. I don't use townies very often. I did have my scientist Sim marry a townie from work, but that is the only one I've played.

I think I've gotten lucky because there are some attractive townies in my game, not all or most but they definitely exist. I've also edited or deleted a bunch but multiple townies have married into my game.

I've had plenty with weird outfits that just needed some tweaking to look good but every so often there are really attractive ones for both my male and female sims. I guess I can try to take photos of some of them.

I typically use premades as background characters for my own sims to interact with and sometimes befriend.

I never play the premade households but I do update their outfits, give the occasional cosmetic tweak and update their homes. The townies end up becoming friends and acquaintances of my own played households instead.

CAS, and making up my own stories is super important to me. Filling up New Crest with story rich sims doesn't include pre-made townies unfortunately.
