Which premade families do you keep?

I learned on this forum that the 80 sim limit is not a limit on the number of sims in the world. It's a limit on the number of played sims.

Yes that’s right. Sorry I meant played Sims. I’ll edit.

Other Sims are there but they don’t retain skills or relationships. I go through the unplayed Sims once a month and delete who I don’t like.

I usually keep them all that are actually in homes until I hit 200, and then I start pruning the ones I care about the least. If I really care about them, I take the family and edit them in CAS to make a version I plop down in every save.

Of those, I have the Heckings from C&D (gave them an English Bulldog and a child). The Hoapili family from IL (added two grandkids and a cat). And several from GPs, which you were not so interested in.

I personally like Yuki and Candy from GT, so I would have saved them. The Goth family from Willow Creek. Probably Caliente from Oasis springs. I am completely neutral to the SE families, but if I had to pick it would be the older couple with their granddaughter. In CL... I don't know. I like both the Karaoke household and the art critic. I occasionally marry them off to played Sims. In GF I like bits of all three landed families, but I would probably choose Ward. Probably the Pleasant twins in DU, but I also like the best friend roommates. In EL, I'd probably try to preserve all the master NPC types, so you picked the one family I deemed nonessential, but I have played with them, too.

I keep most of them in their houses,,and do play several, but have had to drop a few favorites to lower my numbers as we get more expansions and more new households. I enjoy making a new sim or family with packs so that means some I have favorited, I need to drop.

So here is a list of ones I use most:

The Goths…… they are iconic and remind me of when I first started playing way back in the sims 1 and 2.

The Landgrabbs, another iconic family that brings back memories.

The Callientes. They and the Landgrabbs I cheat with because they own businesses.

Candy Bher

Paulo Rocco

Vanessa Jong

The Beheeda’s.

Morgan Frys

The Pleasant sisters. Another iconic family.

The Charm Family I haven’t really played them but the family interests me.

The two older women and their son in Eco lifestyle interest me too, but I haven’t really played them yet,

The Valtores. I haven’t really played vampires, but I’m interested in those two.

The Jangs. ( I haven’t played them much but I love their apartment and the story I can see behind them. I want to explore them more.

I haven’t played many households in the newer packs, or really explored many of the families.

I have more favorited, but many of these I have listed I seemed to really make my own, or want them attached to sims I made., or want to explore them more.

I tend to keep them, but ignore them.
I may have some my Sims marry them if they hit it off, and I am only in the first couple generations with rotational play so far.

I keep them all in other households and only put the ones I am actively playing in played households

edit: wait i lied i deleted the get famous premades that have same name as someone from ts2 cause i added the ts2 ones and i didnt need the fakes for anything

edit 2:i did also delete baby ariel I don't need real people in my game thank

to play along with this game though these are my favourites per world:


...i guess in the end its just list of who i would invite to my dinner party

I keep them all because I like them. I usually play with only one household per save, so I don't need to delete anyone.
I've once populated the save with my own Sims and deleted the premades and that was a big mistake. I missed the premades and the game felt empty. I deleted the whole save eventually because I didn't like it. I like my own Sims but I like the premades too. I don't need to play with them, I just want to see them and maybe interact with them sometimes. I can't imagine Sims 4 without them.

I keep them all and I play with them all.

I usually keep all of them, but I give them makeovers. I do have like 2 saves where I emptied the houses and deleted premade families and sims. I also have 1 save dedicated for only playing with premades and I also add my favorites from the promo sims that can be downloaded from Gallery.

I don't keep any premades, I delete everyone and populate the worlds with my own sims, I feel no connection or care for the premades :)
The only family I ocassionally leave are the Goths.
