I have purchased Snowy Escapes and because my computer can only handle 80 Saved Sims max. I had to be tough choosing which premade households I keep. I’m only including Expansion Packs as Game Packs have fewer townies anyway. I save only one household per new world. This is who I kept but who would keep if you could save one household?
Eco Lifestyle: Harris family. Cats & Dogs: Brant & Brent Hecking. Moving in Jamie Delgato. Get Together: Joaquin and Sergio Romeo. Moving in Mila Munch. Snowy Escapes: Akiyama family.

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

Forgotten Hollow - Vladislaus Straud Del Sol Valley - Judith Ward Brindleton Bay - Hecking Windenburg - Munch San Myshuno - Feng Willow Creek - Pancakes
*shocked gasp* I really couldn't delete goths though but like i could add better goths u kno

MT.K: I'll delete sims from here instead of sulani cause only sim i really know is theres cute teen dude in one of the households so id probably keep that sim
Glimmerbrook: um just kinda meh so i dont really care morgyn? perhaps?
Strangerville: erm uh um i kinda like all but i guess erwin?
evergreen harbor: Harris for the bag guy
britechester: pleasant
...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 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.
