I have quite a few households in my game right now, I play the family of my two beloved starter sims Myla Mallory who was a musician and Ivan Mallory who was a programmer. The 2nd gen oldies are dying...
Ok so I'm gonna totally steal this from Holes but I would recommend playing a Kissin' Kate Barlow character. You know loses her lover so she dedicates her life to taking out guys who are jerks.
