My understanding is that unplayed characters may be autoculled.
Used to be like that, but now it's favourited households that don't get culled. Not sure if being played matters anymore.
For me the difference is mostly with who I want to age and when. If I want my sims to age when the "age unplayed households" box is ticked then I make them unplayed. If I want to take care of their aging on my own, then they're marked played. (I play with aging on for active household only.) I know there's some stuff that can happen with their careers etc. but I rarely see those things so they're not a deciding factor for me. I also feel like unplayed households get their relatioships culled more radically, but that thing is a pain anyway, so again not a huge difference.
