Some sims just never move out of their parents' house and end up as the live-in nanny for their more interesting siblings. Or I pair up their offspring to keep the number of households tight.

Recently my plan has been to send them all to Batuu to live out their Star Wars story (because scoundrels from Galma are the best alignment). I'll also pop a family into unplayed during the aging week and put them back into played during the non-aging times just to keep better track of them.
