Thought this would be a fun way to show off the sims we're playing with now with just one picture of them and one of their home, and then as time goes on we can come back to this thread to see how our households and homes have grown and changed over time!
So, as the title says, share your current sims and their home here!
Gonna start this off with my current sim family, the Wangs!

I've been playing with these sims for almost two months now and I've been focusing on the seasons a lot! I started off in winter with them living in a wintery Japanese house to prepare for Snowy Escape, then I moved them to the Komorebi mountain for the rest of winter, then Spring came around and they moved into the Komorebi suburbs and now it's summer and they've moved to this Sulani beach house! :)
I'll share the Keyes family since I built their house from scratch (a lot of my families have homes from the gallery that I've edited, perhaps I will share a few of those later though). They Keyes were one of the first Sims I created back when I got TS4 in 2017. Marin and Desmond started off as an unmarried couple with a toddler, Emmett, and I've slowly aged them up, gotten them married, and given them a second child, Eliza, and now Marin is pregnant with twins! Also featured in the photo is their senior dog, Woody, who I downloaded from the gallery. They adopted Woody after their dog Arlo passed away. The Keyes are probably one of my families with the most in game story progression since I've kept them around for so long and given them updates throughout the years.
Here's a picture of them standing outside their house, and under the spoilers, you can see the details of their home. I loved building this house - it has a basement and 3 floors. A version of this house not customized for the Keyes family is actually available for download in my gallery if anyone is looking for a spacious 4 bedroom family home - and I built it when I only had Get to Work and Cats & Dogs so it only uses items from those two packs (nothing from stuff packs either, so it's a pretty compatible build for players who don't have a lot of packs!)
EDIT: Digging through old saves and I found a version where Emmett is a child and Eliza is a toddler, here they are standing in front of their starter home I downloaded from the gallery. This was before I started using CC so everyone has had more of a make over since then. Also this photo features their old dog, Arlo. Also how cute are toddler Eliza's glasses? <3
Mine is a little unusual. I am playing several households, but currently the main focus is Smuggsworth College Prep Dormitory. It's a key factor in my rotation system as teens prepare to be University-bound young adults. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/f116/cireking213/05_16_20_12_55_33_PM.png
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/f116/cireking213/09_07_20_11_22_54_AM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds Starting from Cassandra Goth and going counter-clockwise, we have: -Olivia Banks -Yuki Behr -Melonie Bloom -Ambrosius Wood (School Administrator and Britechester Alumnus) -Janay Hopson (Student Counselor and Foxbury professor) -Zane Delacroix -Meadow Thayer.
The picture above is from their first night in the dorm. It happened to be New Year's eve, so they whipped out the drinks and started celebrating. This "dorm" is a great way for me to have teens from around the various neighborhoods under one roof while I prepare them for Uni and have a rotation point between terms.
Olivia, Yuki, and Melonie were the first three to have their 2 terms at Britechester. They came back to Smuggsworth to vacation on Mt. Komorebi, along with Cassandra, Meadow, and Zane. Cassandra, Meadow, and Zane aged up yesterday and are about to start their 2 terms at Britechester.
Future milestones will see Olivia, Yuki, and Melonie graduate and move out and my next three sims, Nami, Cedrik, and Gamma, will move into Smuggsworth Prep. I also rotate between normal homes to prepare my sim's children for Smuggsworth.
@Ellupelluellu That house is gorgeous!!! Also I'm glad to finally know the name of the sim in your profile picture, especially since she gets featured in your screenshot posts a a lot! Veera is a lovely name and they are a beautiful family
@permanentrose , Thank you :) Haha, yes I know she gets featured at many pictures , or her kids, but hard to avoid that as in this save I only play that one family :) Gladly, sometimes background sims at community lots offer something worth to take a picture for :)
I'll share another family since I always love to have an excuse to show off my sims. This is my favorite family, The Douglas-Goldstein Family, featured in my signature and avatar. They are kind of the center of my world, and a lot of other sims in my world have stories they connect to theirs (for example, Marin and Desmond posted above, are one of this family's oldest friends).
I started off with Rose Douglas (red head) as a single sim living with her two elderly dogs (based off my childhood dogs) and she eventually met Carrie and they started dating. Carrie Goldstein moved in with her, and they eventually got married. Their dogs eventually died and I created my current cat and dog (Juniper and Maeby), and eventually with some cheats involved, I had Rose get pregnant with first Beatrix, who is now a child, and then Isla, who is now a toddler. Their house is honestly a hot mess but I love it. It's originally a gallery download but I have edited it and build a lot of add ons since then. I tend to try to cram a lot of the fun items from stuff and expansion packs and CC I get on their lot so it gets redecorated/rearranged every time I get a something new for my game. It is also heavily decorated with Rose's paintings.
Rose is a freelance artist (loved it when we got that career since I had her being technically unemployed but making money selling her paintings). Carrie is a comedian, but they also own two vet clinics and a thrift store and also have a very large and lucrative garden. So they are doing very well for themselves financially.
Here's the family, and under the spoilers, you can get a tour of their house.
https://i.imgur.com/HnwzGMI.png Yukio Stellar is one of the kids from my Snowy Escape family. He always wanted to be a professional snowboarder, which put him at odds with his very strict father. He lost his foot in an accident, which he was sure ruined any chances of having a snowboarding career.
https://i.imgur.com/uJhuXYK.png He moved to Brindleton Bay and lived with his paternal grandmother. When she died, he was forced to downsize and get this trailer on an old plot of land.
https://i.imgur.com/RnSvfSh.png He was married to Isla Vision, a priestess of a magic temple in Windenburg. Due to her immense power, she was raised from a young age to follow the temple's teachings. She longed for the outside world, and Yukio was able to help her leave the temple and live her own life.
https://i.imgur.com/M9dluR8.png The marriage didn't last long though, and they ended up having a bitter divorce. Living in two different countries and not caring for each other all that much, they decided to split custody if their kids. They had triplets (which was not part of my plan, I just wanted one child.) Mariah and live with their mother, who moved back to Windenburg and returned to the temple. Yukio got the middle child and only boy, Hunter.
Yukio only has a part-time job and doesn't have any money saved up. But he got $5,000 in the divorce, which was enough to build a room for his son and get him some toys. Hopefully, this two-person family can get back on their feet and have a good life.
https://i.imgur.com/d0yYEeC.png It's not much, but Yukio's been learning the Handiness skill. A good trade could help him make money and provide for Hunter. And maybe one day, when things have cooled off, he can afford to visit his two other children.
Save #16c - The Hensleys (Family was originally from the gallery but I can't find who made them)
Peter, Amanda and Archimedes (adult male pit bull) recently moved to Mt. Komorebi and I built them a home inspired by Himeji castle in Japan. They raised two kids, Trinity (married with identical twin girls) and Erik (recent uni grad). Trinity has purple eyes and her girls inherited the pink version. I hope her next kid has purple eyes. Erik is going to get married and then move in with his parents so he can inherit the property. Next time I play them, he will be moving in with his wife Julia. This house has lots of room for everyone but it flows really well. Since I can't have an outdoor garden, the 3rd floor of the house is where they are growing plants.
Peter is outdoorsy which is good because he's out of the house when Amanda is seducing sims to complete her goal of having 8 boyfriends/girlfriends. She hangs out in the sauna and listens to the Easy Listening station while waiting for someone cute to walk by. Peter and Amanda have both reached the top of their careers - Peter is Mr. Solar System and Amanda is a Persona Re-imager. He's into snowboarding, skiing, and gardening while she is into knitting, yoga, and painting. https://i.imgur.com/ElZEZTT.png

@Onverser Wow! Thanks for such a cool idea for a thread!
I love your family, especially the little girl in front, that new hair from Snowy Escape is so fun! And wow! your house is adorable! I love it! It gives me a "Cape Cod" vibe, but still fits beautifully in the tropics.
@Ellupelluellu Holy cow that house is beautiful! I love that Greek look!
And Hi to Veera, Anna and little ones! :heart:
@CK213 i remember when you were building your academy! I'm glad it's going well!
@permanentrose Wow! The kids in your Douglas-Goldstein family are really cute!
I'm sharing one of at least 35 families that I play, across 7 different saves. :D This one is special to me because it's my Simself, married to my favorite Sim - Thorne Bailey (I don't have Get Famous, so he's not as awful in my game! lol). We have a little boy, his name is Zephan - which means treasure.

This is the house I built for us:

Under the spoiler just one shot of the first floor interior of the house:
