Not weird at all. We all gravitate toward familiar sims. It's like seeing that Caleb Vatore from Forgotten Hollow married another simmer's sim. It feels weird because he's married to your sim. But it's a different game, different sims. In one of my saves, Caleb is married to a sim in my third(?) generation of that family. The point is, we all have different ideas but start with the same sims, unless you use a base save with completely different sims.
I think you may be overthinking the game a bit. I hope that's not insulting because I don't mean it to be in the slightest. I've been there. Play the game the way you want to play it and don't worry too much about getting to the second generation or having an intricate backstory. Sometimes the game will surprise you, especially if you use mods (if you're able to). My favorite households have always been the ones that unexpected things happen. Those are the saves that I've played the longest and have multiple generations. As random events happen, such as getting abducted by aliens, it helps shape the character of your sim and helps build their story. I usually go with whatever the game throws at me. If my sim get abducted and gets pregnant, well they're a parent now. Apart from them dying straight out of CAS, I don't restart or quit without saving.
I do always overthink things. :# I overthink things way too much. I have OCD, as I said somewhere else, and it's pretty severe, so my mind is always...always...always going on and on and on about things. It is not fun but I have had to accept it as just what I have to deal with. BUT I don't want to bring the party down with that lol.
