I usually only play with one or two sims, but when I do play with more than that (usually because the family grows), the pause button is my friend. For the most part, I just let the sims do whatever. I am attempting to do something new, and that is starting off with a couple, with two pets (a fox and a raccoon created in CAS). I've placed them on a farm, and they are newlyweds. I haven't gotten very far in this save yet, so I'm hoping I don't get overwhelmed with this save. I'm about tempted to place a third sim, a farmhand who has no interest in a relationship or children, to help out around.
