Where Sims 4 Game Play gets it Right
Although the foundation of the Sims 4 is flawed when it comes to deep long term game play and unique personalities, there is an area of game play that Sims 4 (in my opinion) does a much better job at ...

@Simburian sorry if i'm acting as a stalker ? but it's the second time i read you saying that you play running communities instead of single sims or single families... how do you do that? I'm super interested in your unique play style. I have even google it and found nothing ?
It's just my way of playing it. I'm not OCD about my Sims feelings as a God wouldn't be would he? Every world is filled to the brim with my own houses and own made Sims, well over 200 of them so my Sims meet my own Sims all the time, going past the gate etc., and make friends among themselves. I eliminate all premades after they've shown me what the latest pack does to the game - and that includes Sims in the Sims bin. I don't worry about rotation, just pick a different family in a world and work them into the latest pack. It's something I don't have to worry about keeping tags on all the time. I might choose a family to take on a holiday or adventure some time. Nothing special.
It's something you can do if you've built up a large collection of houses, all the worlds and Sims over the years. You can start off by putting a family in an empty neighbourhood lot and moving in all their neighbours from your own library for free! It's quick that way.
Now each world in Eco Lifestyle has to manage itself as a community by voting for changes and that shows I am on the right track.
I'm not into using others' Sim or houses on the Gallery. I might use a community lot sometimes though.
You know... that sounds cool! So, you don't keep a schedulled rotation or anything... it's kind of you manage the community as a whole, if i understand correctly... atm i'm filling a blank save with houses and later im gonna add my sims into it and i think i'll try this aproach in this save. Thank you for taking the time for answering. Im always on the look for new ways of playing :)
If I were you I'd do as I did and your Sims will get their house for free and still have their 20 thousand.
Put a Sim or Sim family in an empty lot or one they can afford and use the "move in neighbours" option on as many houses around them as possible (2 to 4)? to put other families in them. You'll get the message that they have moved in. It doesn't seem to matter how expensive the surrounding houses are. You could pretend they have inherited them maybe!
