What's the longest you've ever played with one family?

Three years in one save that I am hanging on to no matter what. I play it off and on. I guess I have an attachment to it because it's the one I started when I first became interested in Sims4 then left behind as more packs were released. I load it then make changes according to what new content has been added to the game. It's the one where I was playing the premade families and because the saves I play now have no premade families in them I can go back to this one save if I feel the need to mess with the Pancakes or the Goths or the Calientes and make their lives miserable. That usually happens when I'm in a foul mood. :p

I had a sims 3 save years ago with 7 generations. Unfortunately the entire save got really glitchy and laggy so I had to stop playing it. Sims 4 I haven’t gotten very far but that’s for many reasons including not having a gaming computer or a computer in general that could play without getting too hot. But I finally do have a nice computer and plan on working past what I got managed in sims 3. Sims 4 is much nicer on large saves.

10 generations, starting with Johnny Zest and Miko Ojo.

This is probably not the type of answer you're looking for, however, I have played my Cantrell family since Sims2. I just bring them aboard each iteration. So, since I began playing Sims in 2005, that makes it thirteen years.

3 and 1/2 years. I just started a new family a few months ago.

I got to 10 generations for the legacy challenge. I play them occasionally now but I have kind of lost interest in them now.

I get bored of my families quickly and usually move on before I've played them for too long. The longest I've ever played a family is two (almost three) generations. What's the longest you've spent on one family/how many generations did you have?

Five generations, until I felt like starting over. Lol. The couple in my avi are updated versions of the first two sims I ever made in sims 4. Ryan was actually the first sims 4 sim I made because I made him in the CAS demo prior to the release of the base game. Katherine was the first sim I made after buying the base game. I uploaded an 8-sim household with them, their kids, their kids' spouses, and two granddaughters. I originally uploaded the whole family three years ago in March.

I still play that family. I created them in sims3.
