What have you done with the "Maxis Gallery" premades?
Just for curiosity, what did you do with the premades of the official maxis/gurus account on the gallery? The ones like Amber, the Purdue brothers, the Trailer sims, the Sims 2 ones, etc... Feel free...
I don't play with them too in depth, but I will rotate between my played households and a couple of the pre-made households just to keep their stories sort of progressing at the same time. It's always weird to me to have my sims move on in life and grow their families while everyone else does nothing but age up. Usually I pick one or two of the pre-made families and have them be friends with my main family and then I'll pop in and play out a couple of days in the pre-made family to help them advance a smidge in their careers or have a baby/get married/etc. I don't play with all of them, just a few. I'll just post my update for one of them tonight cause it's getting late, I'll post some more tomorrow.
I always keep Babs and Ollie together. I play it somewhat close to their actual story. I start Babs off as a bartender until she starts earning some book royalties and can quit that job and work from home as a writer. Ollie is in the painter career. They settled in San Myshuno in a little apartment in the arts district and had a small summer wedding at the park in the city.
They have a daughter named Emerson who is a spitting image of mommy. She has Ollie wrapped around her little finger. She's taken after daddy and is quite the little art lover - she loves playing the draw with llama game on the tablet and her favorite thing is having her dad read her to sleep.
And in my most recent play session, they discovered they were about to welcome a second little one into their family. They had another little girl and they named her Eleanor.
