Which premade families do you keep?

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 agree. I took most of the premade Sims in one save and didn’t like it. I started a new game pronto and it was good to see familiar faces milling about again.

I tend to think of the Goths, Landgraab and Pancakes as part of the world so I don’t see them as premades or townies. They only die through accidents. ?

It’s great we all like different Sims. I’m glad most like the Goths too. ?

@Simmingal I love the idea of thinking which Sims I’d like to invite to a dinner party. ?

All of them! It never even occurred to me to delete any premade Sims.

I delete the households that have sims I've gotten close to in previous saves, in order to not cloud those memories. I don't delete the Goths or the Landgraabs, because I don't find them very relatable but they're an important part of the environment. With some others, like the Fengs, Kealohas, Bjergsons, and Zest-Pizzazz, I purposely give them toddlers (with play with genetics), because it's worked out so well in the past.

I keep them all and I tend to give them makeovers, sometimes I have removed some premade sims.

If I could only have a limited amount of premades it would probably be The Goths, The Calientes, BFF, Parti Haus, Fyres, Karaoke Household, Bheeda, Pizzazz, Best Friends, Greenburg, Tinker, Akiyama and also Flemming, Broke, Jeong, Fletcher and Mahi'ai if possible. It would be difficult for me to get rid of any of those.

Eco Lifestyle: Knox and his family
Cats & Dogs: Delgatos? Would probably skip
Get Together: Villareal family
Snowy Escapes: Ito family

I quite often remove the premades from their houses because I want those for another use and then either rehome them or mark them unplayed and unfavourited so that they still walk around the town.

I just started playing with the Akiyama family last night and really liked them. I think I’ll have a lot of fun with the winter sports with them.

With the BBF house, when Travis gets a new girlfriend I always think she wouldn’t like him living with two other girls, so I usually get her to invite those two girls over for a pool party ...where they go missing. ?

Goths ??.

Oh yes and the Calientes but I do give Nina and Dina makeovers ASAP!

One household per world… looks like I’ll need to get creative to save my favorites.

Willow Creek: BFF

Oasis Springs: Zest
Johnny is usually on good standing with the Renegades, so he will shelter Ulrike Faust, Wolfgang Munch, Morgan Fyres, Carlos Patel, Neal Peterson and Mia McNally.

Windenburg: Villareal
Will move in Portia and Brandon Colch. They will be so happy that their rivals (Feng and Landgraab) are gone, lol.

Forgotten Hollow: None

San Myshuno: Lobo
Diego will take in Amber Stein and Armand Di Aggro – a snobby, fancy household.

Brindleton Bay: Lynx
Kate will rescue the Delgatos’ cat and Mayor Whiskers.

Del Sol Valley: Jeong

Strangerville: Sigworth
Will take in Erwin Pries, George Cahill and Captain Whitaker (who is often George’s dog in my saves) and they might live in the crashed plane lot.

Sulani: Hoapili
Will take in Duane Talla and Tane Ngata.

Britechester: Julia Wright (Becca can go)
Will be joined by new students Danny Shino-Miller, Rohan Elderberry and Jordan Mayer and also move out of the dorm into a residential.

Evergreen Harbour: Betty and Rico
June Kay will move in with them, because I feel the town’s crafting theme would fit her.

Mt. Komorebi: Whichever is the smallest household will move in Yuki and Candy Behr. Then the original sims will get deleted, leaving only the Behr sisters.

So this isn't looking much different from the survivors of my usual premade purges. I'm going to save this list and maybe play this constellation sometime.
(There’s a couple of unfamiliar names in my list, they are all Maxis gallery sims that I love.)

I ignore them and don't really know anything about them (I can't really tell premades from townies tbh but I recognize names like Goth, Landgrabb, Vatore, etc.). I don't think I've ever played with any premades and I've had the games since the week it was released. I like to make my own sims and let the premades do whatever.

I've kept them all(except the vampires in Forgotten Hallow). Most of the gen 1s are dead, like Morgan Fyres parents.

Who am I to play God? Is it truly my place to decide who stays and who goes? lol

Okay but seriously, I don't usually delete townies. I let them live and use them to further the needs of my families when the needs arise. Then I simply ignore them again. who knows, maybe one day one of my sims will become a Landgraab or a Goth or maybe a Zest??? The locals add flavor to the game so I think they're worth messing around with.
