Which premade families do you keep?
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 ...

I mainly play with my own sims. I did not play with the original houses in Willow Creek or Oasis Springs because I just played one household for several generations. My game turned into a rotation when I decided to follow several siblings and random new characters that I added. More recently, I do check out all of the households.
Willow Creek: Summer Holiday married into my original household. I have a "new" Goth family that I said are distant cousins of the originals. Of my own households, notable sims include a "Seasons family". I added a family with that pack that is still in my game. There's also a large family called Lopez with several branches. They're descended from a Spa Day yoga instructor who turned into a wealthy fitness guru and had a bunch of kids. He has the long life trait so he is still around two generations later.
Oasis Springs: I actually didn't play with any of these but filled up the world with new sims that I play.
Windenburg: Bjergsens - they were all over my game. The daughters are adults now. Sofia is a hippie in Oasis Springs while Elsa is a doctor who kept the house and married an Italian stay-at-home dad. Villareals - all of them. Siobhan Fyres - she married someone else, not Sergio. She's now a successful businesswoman and still lives in that house. Her kids are grown up.
Forgotten Hollow: All of them but rarely.
San Myshuno: I actually played the Rasoyas. Raj had a traditional marriage and 5 kids who all went in different directions. One of his sons lives in Umbrage Villa, I think, in Willow Creek with a snobby wife and is a successful businessman. His daughter is an activist in San Myshuno who married her next door neighbor and is kind of a feminist with two daughters. A third son is really traditional. Two younger sons are around university age and they are techie. As I played it, nothing weird went on between Raj and his mother, she was just pressuring him to get married. I removed the unflirty trait and had him marry someone his mother approved of.
I should add that I play Salim Benali though it has been a while. He married his best friend, a beautiful bartender. He's a writer and she is a restaurant critic. They have three sons. They moved into the nicer place next door, obviously. No real drama there. They are a happy family.
Brindleton Bay: The Heckings adopted a son. One of the Heckings is male-to-female transgendered, Brent, I think. I moved the Delgatos to a large house in Oasis Springs because they hated the weather in Brindleton Bay. As I played them, they are Brazilian & Trinidadian and the weather just wasn't working for them. They love their new neighborhood in Oasis Springs on the green side of town across from a pool I added.
Sulani: I play this as a largely indigenous island with ownership restrictions so I've played all of the households sometimes. I added a shipwrecked character who married a woman who was living in the research station. The shipwrecked guy had a shaggy beard and only one worn out beachy outfit. Randomly, they won the lottery right around their wedding day so they had a million simoleons. As a result, I downloaded a posh beach mansion for them that they moved into. That's actually one of my favorite households.
Del Sol Valley: Judith Ward - I kind of love her as well because she has a lot of character and creates a lot of drama but always comes out on top. After marrying her butler-turned-star, the marriage failed when she rehearsed with a bit too much enthusiasm with one of her co-stars. She is remarried to the second husband for now. I kind of want to age her down and give her more time to get into shenanigans. I think she'll have a child at some point and be very jealous.
StrangerVille: Oddly, I play the Roswell house because Ted Roswell amuses me a little bit. I think he's another funny character. He was rejected by my main character for the story who married a military guy who helped her solve the situation. Ted and Meredith divorced and Meredith has actually moved across the street. Ted married Leslie Holland who is a hippie. They are opposites attracting. Meredith lives with the other roommates and is going to radically change from uptight to a happier person.
Britechester: I've only played these households a few times. I like the Elderberries a lot. Angela recently married Salim Benali's son and has a new baby. Lilith will probably move out but I don't know entirely what she will do.
Evergreen Harbor: I've played Knox a bit and I like him a lot. Currently, he's a dreamer in that tiny bedroom. He has not fallen in love. I do plan to send him skiing/snowboarding in Mt. Komorebi. I have played the Harrises a little bit, they had a third son. They're kind of "blue collar". Jed has not moved out yet. I have a family that are the Grims. I added them as descendants of the founder of Grim's Quarry. They are aging parents and a less traditional teenage daughter.
Mt. Komorebi: I have only checked in, not deeply played but I run into the Akiyama house quite a bit. I've played the family household in the lowest town. I've sent vacationers several times. I plan to go back and play this world more sometime.
