@wickichick Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I had fun writing it down.
What do you mean with having NewCrest as an extension of Willow Creek?
I think sims aging and sims being culled are different things. Some sims are permanently removed from the game, for performance reasons, to keep the sim amount down, and can be removed 'culled', despite aging being off. I think the sims that have no or weak relationship with the player's active sims are the ones taken first. Therefore I save any sim not often socialized with, but that I think I might want much later on in gameplay, just in case; like the special sims from the packs, for instance Father Winter.
To make service sims, that is the sims that work as nannies, bartenders, in the spa etc; you give them their 'job', that is, a 'trait'; with a cheat. I plan to give my orphans matching traits (in CAS), and skills for their intended 'career'. So for instance create a sim with CAS traits Cheerful, Good and Creative, and skill them up in the orhanage in cooking and parenting, and also give them some nice reward traits, like Great Storyteller and Incredibly Friendly; and then give them their nanny trait with the cheat: traits.equip_trait isNanny, careers.add_career Nanny
Here is an informative thread on how to give the service sims their traits/jobs:

Here is one of the few teens in my game. She lives in Willow Creek with her family, who wants her to join a business career, but she would much rather cook delightful dishes. And also, peace on earth, duh.

Here is the restaurant build waiting for her fate unfolded in gameplay:

Haseki Imaret will serve vegetarian and halal dishes, hopefully attracting the environmentally aware population in Willow Creek, and a few hipsters from other parts of the world as well.

It will be a place of relaxed gathering, with low prices and a community out-reach in terms of hired personnel.
