My game is so complicated.
I started out TS4 with the same sims I have today.

That is a picture from when we first got Get Together.
I had no desire to age up my sims, get them married, have children, because the game felt so unfinished at the time.
This is only half my sims, but going from left to right:
-Melonie Bloom, the goofball who loves humor and being a stand up comic. I try to keep her casual and down to earth.
-Olivia Banks, the fame and fortune sim, (more fortune than fame) driven for the better (and expensive) things in life.
She lost her parents at a young age.
-Riya Ramaswami, nature girl, loves making herbal remedies, owns an Herbalist shop, loves to sing (Riya means singer in Hindi).
-Ling Chen, a scientist, mainly because I want to explore the science career from Get To Work
-Edgar Chagall, an art snob
-Dina Caliente? How did you get in the shot? Not my sim.
-Sheldon Dortz, a nerdy genius.
You throw everything you can to flesh out the personalities:
Their names, their clothes, their living spaces, their hobbies, social circles, etc, because these watered down traits are not enough.
We have always done this in Sims game, but even more so with TS4.
But everything has changed now for my original sims with the addition of Toddlers, Parenthood, Seasons and the University leak.
I am ready to play this game seriously with a lot more content to help define these sims.
I rebooted my game when we got Toddlers and Parenthood. I aged all my young adults down to toddlers in CAS and gave them parents.

Now I get to play out how my original young adults became who they are, well..., were.
Parenthood will help with that. That might be a challenge to raise them to have the character values they should have according to the personality I want them to have, but I will have to keep that in mind as I play them. I haven't been playing these sims all that much. I only played them up to the child age stage, only two have made it to the teen stage. I will begin seriously when University is officially announced.
I have mostly played my Supernatural sims, because they were the most fun.

In this new scenario of all my sims as children, I wasn't sure what to do with my Supernatural sims. I had three sims with a fake life state (cat sims), an alien, and a vampire. I decided that they would be raised in an orphanage. Miss Peregrines home for Peculiar Children was a perfect scenario to play them. I threw in Meadow Thayer because she was fascinated by my Cat Sims in my original game play. I decided that they were all raised in the orphanage together. Meadow's peculiarity? She sees dead people.
Miss Peregrine is being played as the author of the original book.
The book is inspired by her life of running the orphanage, so I don't have to stick to original material.
With Realm of Magic, I decided to maker her a spell caster, to add more of the supernatural to her household.
I love the thought of her having bird familiars, I wish there was a Peregrine, but I will settle for the Owl, Raven, and Phoenix.

Plus with a house full of children, she will need magic. :)
The only other household of normal sims I have played seriously is Olivia Banks.
She is the sim I am most interested in because of her tragic backstory. This post is already too long to get into it though.
