What did you do with Premades in Strangerville?

Cahill in my latest Strangerville opened his hazard shelter up to seven other sims. They were townies and tourists that were not involved in solving the mystery at all. Having eight sims in extremely cramped conditions is fun (not for the sims, probably). I admit I expanded the shelter a little by turning the gap between floor and kitchen into another room, but other than that worked with the space I had.
Also playing the point of view of civillians/non-investigators who do not have a clue what hit them and how long the crisis will last was satisfying.

I didn't seriously play the Holland and Roswell households, but fell in love with the Sigworth couple. At first they appeared bland and boring, but then Dylan gained a Fame star from selling his homemade cakes and Jess acquired a good reputation as well as several promotions despite her condition... that was satisfying, too. Especially since she is an officer, what saved me from playing "plucky intrepid investigators save everyone from corrupt/inept military" again and turned the first part of the story into an official government mission.

As with most other things with Strangerville, I left them all alone. However, their houses proved to be stranger than the town itself. They all had to be replaced!

Still kickin' around. I did add Erwin as a proper resident, though (shift-click to add him to your current household, then go to Manage Households and move him out on his own).

Moved them all together in the Roswells' house so I could have the other lots to myself. The crashed plane is now a bar.

Like all the other premades, I tend to ignore them. My sims befriended the roswells but that's about it. They generally just stay in their house unless I want to use it for my sims. I might have a sim move into the crashed airplane lot so the inhabitant of that lot will be evicted.

Nada. In my custom template save they are all still living on their original lots. My Sims might befriend them, but that's about it. The most interaction I've had with any of them is when my Hero cured Leslie, Jess and Ted. I've also evicted the Eclectic household once because I wanted their lot. I was nice though and moved them into Plateau Place.

I decided to move in the Burbs from Season 2. I noticed that Cahill wants to be a public enemeny. So I have him fighting with John Burb and Ted Roswell. I think I'm going to have him sacrafice Ted Roswell to the Mother and frame John Burb. (I haven't yet played through the mystery so I'm not sure how it works) Jennifer Burb is in the military career, and I think I'll have her eventually marry Meredith Roswell. And they can be a power couple who rules Strangeville.

I played through the mystery then switched around in my rotation. I have not finished playing through StrangerVille after the mystery.

My hero was a Latina woman named Martina Sandoval who moved to StrangerVille after university. I said that she was from "Phoenix, AZ" and moved out to this remote town for the low cost of living and to get away from her estranged father. She's really handy, independent and logical. She worked from home in a remote tech job. She married a really buff military guy who helped her throughout the mystery. She only had kids later, so far, two independent girls, one of whom is almost too like her so they quarrel.

Martina has a best friend who I recently made playable. Sorry, I'm not remembering her name, she's a townie. Her friend is really pretty and grew up in the town. She is really young but wears her hair up in rollers and moved into the trailer where she scraps by in a part-time working class job. I said that the friend is the descendant of women from the old west who followed the stage coaches and trains westward.

Ted Roswell's family has been there since before that time and managed to run other settlers off while his family consolidated power. His wife is really religious (alluding to a specific religion that I won't name). Ted married her when she was really young and she's really submissive with cooking and cleaning but she can't have any kids, rather like the plot for a famous book, but not that intense. The wife obsesses over religion and feels like a failure. I've already decided that she and Ted will not be able to have kids together. There won't be a lucky surprise. Ted is disappointed and has a roving eye. (No, I don't want to be Ted, lol, it's a plot).

Ted was attracted to Martina and they had a brief fling during the height of the crisis at StrangerVille but Martina ended it to pursue things with the guy that she married. Ted is jealous that she and her husband have kids but Martina completely ended it. I haven't decided if Ted will pursue Martina's best friend now that he's been rejected. Martina was new in town and Ted thought she was both exotic and smart whereas he knows the whole history of her friend and thinks she's low class ... but pretty and probably able to have kids. I've contemplated the idea that Ted will have a fling with the friend and she'll have a child that she'll either raise without knowing the father or that his wife will try to steal. We'll see.

The other household in the Roswells' neighborhood is like a hippie commune of wealthy YAs who moved there after college for the low cost of living and who are living in some communal house. I haven't decided where that is going but I think that they and the Roswells really do not like each other. I haven't done anything with the Sigworths at this time. They are just normal military neighbors and colleagues of Martina's husband.

George is just an eccentric loner who lives in a plane. When he's gone, I might convert the lot because I really want to liven the town a little.

I think Ted really wants to be with Martina but it's not going to happen while her husband is alive if ever. Ted is not a great guy but he runs the town. We'll see about the rest.

The premades of Strangerville are some of the best we've had in a while, and I love them. I had to rebuild every ugly lot (so, all of them), but the world itself and the premades are really good.

I haven't done much with Roger Cahill, besides testing how tiny a survivalist bunker could be and still be 100% functional. I wish online dating was a thing in TS4 because it would fit him so well. Currently looking for love, send suggestions.

The Sigworths are happily living in the most "brand new" looking house I could manage. Their daughter got turned into a toddler because I needed more toddler premades and they're both very young anyway. Their life is too sweet though, I'm trying to decide what wrench I can throw in there.

Meredith Roswell is probably my favorite new premade, finally someone to play the charity organizer branch of the politician career (Ted is in the other branch). I made a random daughter for them in CAS to test Island Living and ended up liking her so much she joined my main save. Their ranch/farmhouse is still very WIP but that doesn't stop me from playing.

The Eclectic Arts household is my least favorite so far. I like them, but I've played "young artists flatsharing" many times already, and I don't feel like doing it again. I like their Hitman2-inspired house though, like they inherited it from some old aunt, and didn't bother redecorating. They will most likely be my Uni test sims.

I pretty much just gave them all makeovers is CAS which is what I do with all Maxis premades and then have just left them to do their thing. I've completed the Strangerville mystery with a sim from out of town but maybe one day I'll jump in and actually play around with the dynamics of the residents of Strangerville.
