In my current save I'm trying my own version of world-challenge - where each generation only get to move world once (though I don't count Britechester as "moving" but they only get to go to Britechester whie at uni) and then is supposed to stay in the worlds that are "open". Gen one moved from Oasis Springs to Sulani and then had to limit themselves to those two. Gen two moved to Newcrest (though I cheated a bit with San Myshuno because I had just bought the pack, so technically they moved world twice). I'm making up for that with Gen three who moved to San My and will stay there (so they have four open worlds + non residential worlds). The idea though is to have sims fully experience the world they live in, so while they can go to other worlds, I try prioritising their own. I also try to spread out jobs and aspirations between the sims (so spouses and if I play them actively siblings...) So far I have Comedian, Marine biologist, Gardener (before branching off), Trendsetter, Internet Personality, Business investor and scientist. One of the siblings in gen two I never played, so he got the same career as his mother, as did his son who I also don't play.
Right now both girls in gen three has interesting stories so I have a hard time choosing who to move on with. Destinee is married to a guy who is more gay than straight (he keeps flirting with his best friend), but he is really trying not to. I doubt they'll last, but it will be interesting to see. Right now they're focusing on their daughter.
The younger sister, Nyla, is a scientist and doesn't really care about romance but is consumed with learning new stuff. Both are tied to each their scenario - Nyla to finding life on other planets and Destinee on being a proud parent.

I've reached 44 families played in a premade focused rotational save when I play each family for a sim year on the calendar with my seasons set at 14 days each. I might not sound like a lot but taken me almost three years to get this far. :D
Do you ever go back once the year is up or do they become full NPCs after the year is over?
