I absolutely loved memories, family trees and scripted events in TS2 - there wasn't a single pre-made family that I didn't find fascinating.
In TS3 I still loved it because it had all gone back in time, so you could put Bella and Mortimer together, there was a revelation about the origin of the Crumplebottoms, etc.
I actually assumed that when TS4 came out it would be set a generation or two in the future, for example maybe the Goth family would be Cassandra's kids, and you'd find out whether she was truly meant to be with Darren Dreamer or not. When it turned out to be an alternate universe I was really surprised and then sorely disappointed about the lack of depth. I think the first thing I did when I first installed the game was to find a premade family I recognised and go on the hunt for back-story, relationships and secrets, but there was...nothing. At best I would guess that it's like they've put in families they'd like to have made in TS1.
In short, I'm desperate for lore.
