How do you handle the rotational play hydra?
I'm trying rotational play for the first time and I'm foreseeing a problem. My typical play style is to start with a single Sim, have them fall in love with a townie, get married, have 1-3 kids, an...

I don't have that many families per Rotation Save. I started my Main Save with just the Cantrell family: Parents, I each, and five children, four boys and a girl. The first four kids start off as Teens, the youngest a Change of Life surprise so he's much younger, still a Child, but does end up a Teen by the time the first four head out for Uni, together. I ended up adding the Golden family with identical triplet girls, also Teens, and used MCCC to set how many days into that age level they were so that they were just older than Brianna (the only girl) who is the fourth child in the Cantrell family. After Uni is where the true Rotation began: I had the first son, Aaron, and the third son, Joey, Jr. marry Sandi and Astrid, respectively. Erik (my Global Superstar) was already promised to Kayleigh from high school. I placed a lot for Aaron and Sandi in Henford-on-Bagley. The lot more or less next door is the 50 X 40 lot with the Wild Foxes Trait. I placed Joey and Astrid in this lot, unchanged for the most part. (Although I did add an area for a chicken coop. The price of eggs is too high for a Med Student.)
I've just moved Erik and his bride into their recently built Custom Home into the vacant 50 X 40 lot that also has the Wild Foxes Trait. Brianna and her hubby now live on the only 64 X 64 Lot overlooking Erik's new digs.
I play for one week per household. Didn't get very far with Erik, (I had a mod issue, and at one point failed to return the Mods folder inside my game, so that he lost ground as a Rock Star.) I resolved the issue, but he was only friends with Kayleigh. :) Spent much of that Sims' week getting them back to where they should be. She's just now in the family way, but if I rotate now, their baby will likely end up with a name I abhor!. So, I may resume, by changing the color of my highlighter and doing the second round of rotation from the last back to the first. (This may satisfy my need to stay with Erik's household.)
So, as you can see, I keep it small.
