Townies

On generation 11 of the Goths right now, only townies I ever played.

I have a mod that forces my game to use the current homeless sim instead of creating new ones unless it needs to add a sim or sims to fill in for that slot. My townies consist of sims that I have added to the game from the gallery. They were the sims you see when they first introduced the different Sims 4 games and packs. If the game generates one I will either delete it or give it a makeover. These are a few of the townies in my game.

I don't ever start by playing them, but I keep them around. If any of my sims get involved with any of them, that's when I start developing their story. Pre-mades aren't as fun to play this time around, but I like having their background & personality established for me.

As for townies that aren't premades, I either delete them or make them over.

The Goths are a blast aren't they? I always have to remake Cassandra though. Her brother always ends up as their parents favorite but she's the one who gets the happy ending mainly because I focus on what she wants. For the most part. Generally I play my female sims as gay unless they already have an established romance because that makes the game all the more fun for me.

What mod do you use? I'm still bookmarking mods for later on when the games are settled. Your townies look great!

Yeah, your method seems pretty common. The background & personality you mentioned is one of the main reasons I enjoy playing pre-made sims. It's fun to twist things around but also stay true to the core of the character. I find myself doing this with Cassandra Goth a lot. Do you have a particular style you like to use when you do make overs?

@SimposeumS4
Thank you. :)
This is the mod that deals with the NPCs.

The premades and townies are almost always secondary characters. I sometimes add in more that I don't intend to play .. just put them in houses for extras.. they can be sims my friends will make friends with, have in their clubs... background mostly. If my sims get to know them well enough and it feels right they might become a main character .. usually by moving them in.
They also serve as the victims when I engage in deviant play. I've played with most of the premades in many ways .. poor things. I do have favorites but that's mostly the ones my sims come in contact with more frequently because of where I tend to make them live.

deleted as I asked a question someone else had already asked

I love premades. I have multiple saves dedicated to playing them. Siobhan Fyres, Joaquin Le Chien, Akira Kibo, and Diego Lobo are the ones I end up playing most often but Joaquin is probably my all time favorite TS4 premade with Siobhan as a close second. I also love the gallery vampires, particularly Elle de Vampiro.

I usually make 1 CAS family and then have most of their friends and romantic interests be townies. When I moved my CAS teenager into Willow Creek, I aged all of the children up so that she'd have a group of friends, plus I grabbed a few homeless teens to go to high school with her. Sometimes the townies will get their own spinoff side stories.

I have never started with a premade family/townie family but I do make them over and update outfits for them. Many have been married into a played family in a few of my saves but mostly I save my favorite townie families so I can always track their families in my games. This has applied to TS3 and TS4.
