Premades in your game

I've been playing for years but never played premade households until a month ago when I accidentally deleted my save(rip). I suddenly had the urge to play with the premades and in the process, I'm learning about Sims lore as well (curious for the upcoming lore update the gurus have promised).

Anyway, I would love to hear about how others are playing with premades in their games. I know there's been a few threads on this topic over the years but this is one of those discussions that will always have endless answers!

  • I don't play their households but some of the family members from them are part of my family.
  • I don’t really play the premade households on their own but my sims do marry premades quite often and then I end up playing them.

    In my rotational save, I have sims married to Salim Benali, Joaquin Le Chien, Knox Greenburg, Travis Scott, Cassandra Goth, and Billie Jang. I also have a sim who’s engaged to Darling Walsh, a teen who’s probably going to date Rahul Chopra, and a sim who just went on a bad date with Cameron Fletcher.

    In my legacy save, my founder just got married to Morgyn Ember and they’re expecting their first child.
  • In my simworld, premades have generally had an awful time of things, because I tend to see them as fair game for all my most devilish gamer instincts. A great many of them, I've merely killed off to free up a lot; often that lot is then demolished and turned into ordinary housing (my standard Levittown-esque sim box built for practical efficiency.) Others, I've edited in CAS to the point where they're unrecognizable as their original premade form; Jessie Charbonneau, for example, a sim well-known to people who read my "what happened in your game" posts, started life as Miko Ojo and got a CAS makeover into everyone's favorite French-Canadian sweetheart of a celebrity chef.

    The ones I haven't killed, well, some have fared better than others, but others have suffered utterly cruel fates.

    Cassandra Goth, in my simworld, is a "woohoo worker"; after she aged up, her gloomy adolescence turned into an outright nihilistic dance in adulthood with hedonism and desperate attention-seeking. Probably for the best that drugs don't exist in the Sims without mods because she'd probably have ended up like Jane from Breaking Bad by now. She remains the most convenient way single male Sims have of quickly reloading their Fun and Social needs when they're skilling up and advancing through their careers before getting married.

    Malcolm Landgraab, in my simworld's canon, is a pariah. He had an...incident...involving a young girl (completely offscreen, of course), but his rich parents' connections allowed him to escape justice. Every sim in the world hates him, none will speak to him (and if they do, it's to insult and fight him), and he must forever live with a punishment greater than prison—his own utter isolation and perhaps just a tinge of regret. I'll probably kill him off eventually but for now he's a great punching bag for everyone else.

    Geoff and Nancy Landgraab, meanwhile, have an utterly toxic marriage held together entirely by money. Many female sims in my world consider it a rite of passage to woohoo with Geoff upon moving into their first home, and he's got an in-world canon rivalry with Don Lothario regarding the subject...one Geoffrey is winning. Nancy, meanwhile, tried to get her revenge on Geoffrey by doing some cheating of her own...and instead ended up pregnant. She's raising a daughter, effectively a single mom in her own home, and Malcolm is not allowed to interact with his half-sister due to his reputation. The Landgraabs would've divorced long ago but for the fact that money and a big enough house for them to stay out of each other's way makes theirs a marriage of convenience.

    Eliza Pancakes had a similar problem as Nancy, though in her case, she thought Simo Koivonen—the dashing Finn who is the father of nine children by seven women and who died when he froze to death in a malfunctioning shower on a scorching hot Oasis Springs summer day—loved her. He didn't. He just wanted to sow his seed, and Eliza bore him a son, Hugh Pancakes, who has never seen or known his father. She is raising him alone in the house she inherited from her late husband. The boy's destined to become a short-order cook someday, I suspect. "Huge" Pancakes? What a name. The game gave it to him when he was born offscreen.

    Bob Pancakes, as the previous implies, is dead. He took his own life by putting on his winter clothes, driving out to the cemetery in Oasis Springs during a heat wave, and lying down watching the clouds and waiting for the Reaper to take him, which Grim duly did scarcely an hour later. At least he died quickly, in a contemplative mood. May the next life serve him better than the one he lived on earth. (Narrator:: It didn't.)

    Don Lothario, however, is more of the wannabe Casanova. He's more Johnny Bravo than anything. Fit, muscular, conventionally good-looking...and women tend to be repulsed by him because he has absolutely no tact whatsoever. I found it funny to turn a guy with a propped-up-by-the-game reputation as a great lover into a cartoonish buffoon. He still succeeds sometimes—the game is quite accommodating of ham-fisted romantic efforts if the target's sufficiently flirty—but he often ends up awash in yellow moodlets. Shameless flirting with Unflirty sims who will never reciprocate is its own form of comedy.

    Not everyone came to a bad end (or got edited beyond recognition as a premade.) There have been a couple of happy-ending stories for premades:

    Diego Lobo, I decided to give a makeover to, but it was purely a plan-outfit rather than change-sim makeover. In-game, he got a crush on his gym trainer who rejected him on grounds that she preferred her men masculine in the old-school sense. Diego, besotted, got rid of his silly hairstyle, his makeup, and his Riddler wannabe outfit and underneath was an incredibly suave Latino who frankly impressed me with just how complete the transformation was. His wife died of old age, and before Diego himself departed the world, he had a son by his second wife, named Hernando, who is getting his own story (soon as I get back to playing regularly—I've been playing and completing The Witcher 3 for the past week or so) in the world. The young second wife eventually woohooed Diego to death, incidentally. What a way to go.

    Raj Rasoya is happily married despite being unflirty; after the death of his mother Geeta, Raj met a woman at the karaoke bar who became the love of his life. She's a big girl—"yo mamma so fat, every time she sings, the opera ends"—but that just means she gets to eat more of Raj's delicious culinary creations.

    And Johnny Zest? He moved out of his trailer, marrying a woman of my creation, a green-eyed redhead named Caitlin O'Brien; the two are happily married, and Johnny's former home is now a lush desert garden/farm owned by one of the Koivonen Kids, Anna Trevino (daughter of townie librarian McKinley Trevino, who now works as an Investor in the business track.)
  • I use them a lot whether I want them to be happy, miserable, part of the save or just be in the background every time I think I'm gonna ignore them completely I end up using them again, like the goths speaking of I need to play today. Currently I have picked a few to add to a normal length save to move their children along faster and it's been one of the runs where I change jobs or cheat levels and skills just for something different. Which also sometimes determines how much they get made over which helps in other saves when I don't feel like doing makeovers they are almost different.

    Believe it or not for those who haven't seen this is Vladislaus (second makeover from my old one) and Johnny Zest, He just had their first baby and as you can see the moody old vampire is expecting the second, cause why not.
  • I'm having fun playing a rotational game with one household I created and all the San Myshuno premades. Here's the latest about Victor and Lily Feng, in which Victor is elected National Leader:

    I'm so lazy to create a sim. Therefore, in the most of time, I'm playing with premade.
    It seems that I have played 90% of premade in Sims 4...

    Every household is having different stories :D

    I play almost exclusively with premades and uninstalled all but base game to do so. Each rotation I add another dlc so the game stays interesting and more sims are added.

    So far my game looks like this:

    Langraabs: Nancy and Geoffrey progress in their careers until they find out what the other does and Geoffrey chooses to become a double agent and side with his family when the pool boy (Don Lothario) moves in a tries to slide into bed with Nancy. Malcolm is evil and hates his brother (Johnny Zest) as well as Don and his moms best friend Katrina Caliente. Malcolm eventually marries Nina Caliente and they will have a daughter Mimi and son Dudley. Eventually they buy the large retail lot.

    Calientes: Katrina and Don get together officially while Dina and he start a side thing after a gym session together. Nina gets with Don to be mischief and the whole thing explodes when Don flirts with Zoe at a party in front of everyone. He moves out to be the Landgraabs pool boy before finding out that Dina is pregnant. Nina sets her eyes on Malcolm once he grows up and moves out to become Mom to his kids. Dina ends up marrying Johnny Zest and raising her and Dons beautiful daughter alongside their 3 children. Their ambition eventually moves them into the house across from the Landgraabs. Katrina is left all alone until she meets a divorced Bob Pancakes who she moves in with his son Iggy and fulfills her soul mate aspiration with before she dies and they inherit the house.

    Roomies: Zoe and Mitchell end up together after he completes the grill cheese aspiration. They have twin boys. J goes to Willow Creek for a work thing and meets Summer who he marries and they eventually move into the mansion across from the Spencer Kim Lewis family. Gavin stays in Oasis Springs and meets Liberty who relocated there after being promoted to astronaut. They move across the street and have one nerdy little kid and he writes sci fi inspired by Liberty’s travels.

    Zest: I make sure to edit his family relationships in cas and then have him reconnect with Geoffrey only because he is the nice one. Johnny then meets Dina who is bar tending at one of his shows. Their kids (2 boys and a girl) grow up alongside their half sister with visits to the Landgraab estate to see their cousins but ththey rivalry between sisters that started when the girls both were with Don and between Malcolm and Johnny keeps things tense, although the kids get along.

    Spencer Kim Lewis: Eric and Alice have another child their son Jamie who ends up being an athlete. Olivia becomes a writer and keeps resurrecting her grandparents with the book of life. She goes on to marry Alexander Goth and move into the Goth mansion. Jamie marries Eliza and Dons daughter.

    Goth: Bella is the only sim in my game who travels regularly to oasis springs (I have a mod that restricts walk bys to world) and she knows all about Nancy and Malcolm. Mortimer is a writer and loves Bella. Cassandra fulfills her desire to be a musician and moves to Oasis Springs to follow her dream. Here she meets Don and since he has already exhausted his fill of Oasis Springs women, moves into the Goth mansion to marry Cassandra. At their wedding he tries to flirt with Bella who blows up the spot and Cassandra calls of the wedding, chilling in the lounge in her wedding dress she meets Travis Scott who she ends up falling for and marrying then moving with to Oasis Springs and having three children with. Little Alexander becomes a genius curator and marries his childhood best friend Olivia. They move into the goth mansion and she bonds with Morty over writing while he buys the small shop in magnolia promenade and sells what he finds. They go on to have a son.

    Pancakes: Bob and Eliza struggle to relate and then fall pregnant with Iggy while making up one night. When he is a toddler Bob does everything and Eliza takes a girls trip with Alice and Bella to Oasis Springs. Here she meets Don and has a one night stand which results in becoming pregnant with his daughter who she tries to pass off as Bobs. Bob forms a strong bond with her but then Don moves to town and Eliza tells him the truth and moves Don in. Broken-hearted Bob moves to Oasis Springs trailer and hangs out in granite falls a lot until he meets Katrina and falls in love with her, moving he and Iggy into her house. One night as he is exploring the skies he gets abducted by aliens and gives birth to twin aliens, one evil, another good.

    BFFs: Travis likes Liberty, Liberty and Summer are best friends, meanwhile Summer likes Travis. Eventually it all blows up and Liberty leaves for Oasis Springs with Travis and Cassandra following closely behind. Summer moves in J and then they have an ultra vanilla life with 3 children.

    I also moved in the bin sims and sims that used to be cas sims that were uploaded by maxis to the gallery for genetic diversity. Eventually everyone will be related but it’s really fun for now to decide where everyone will end up!!!

    Curious to see what I’ll decide to do for Get Together City Living etc sims when I finally get there!! Who does Penny Pizazz end up with?

    As far as I can remember, my Goth household:

    Mortimer and Bella are having 7 children (4 boys and 3 girls). Both Cassandra and Alex left the house when they were still teens. Therefore, their 3rd child, Andy is the heir of them.
    Mortimer died when the 7th child was still a child. However, Bella could kiss and hug her grandchildren before she died.

    Cassandra has become a mother on the 1st or 2nd day of her teenage…she is having a long story. May update later.

    Alex married a teenage mum, Nakuru, and became a step-father. He is also having his own children with Nakuru. The couples and their children are operating a daycare centre in Willow Creek now.

    The heir, Andy is a writer like his father. He married a NPC after they graduated from college. His wife, Hagal is a musician. They’re having 3 kids. The eldest one is a girl, she is a teenager now.

    The 4th and 5th is a pair of twins, Carmen and Carl. Carmen has become a vampire when she was a teen. She is the only one who turned by Caleb Vatore in my save. However, she is not the wife of Caleb. I made her married Hugo Villareal and they’re having a vampire girl.

    The 5th child, Carl is a designer. He married another NPC (Lavender) after they graduated from college. His wife is a lawyer. They’re having one son.

    The 6th child is a boy, Alvin. He is a body builder and husband of Olive Kim-Louis. They are having triplet (3 girls!). His daughters are using their mother’s surname.

    The 7th child is a girl, Connie. She has just married Mitchell Kalani. They have no children yet. Mitchell is now a comedy actor and Connie is working in IT company.

    The last but not the least, the girl in my profile picture is one of the granddaughters of Bella Goth…
  • I have given every single premade some much-needed makeovers. The gallery really helps in this area. Bob and Betty Pancakes now have a toddler and teen sons. So I haven't seen her out causing any trouble for the town, especially for any of my sims, lol. I've never deleted any of the premade sims, killed off a few, but never deleted them. I love having them running around doing what they normally do. I do have MCCC, so they are making the next generation to keep the town alive in the future.
