come on! the karaoke household has A K I R A. ✨ the man ✨

As someone who only plays with the pre-made households this list is crazy to me, but only because of the storylines they had in my save file! J Huntington III (Roomies) had a friends with benefits situation with Zoe Patel (Roomies) until he meets Dina Caliente and accidentally got her pregnant. They got married and cheated on each other throughout most of their marriage. Zoe got married to Johnny Zest and they have twin girls, something that brought Johnny closer to his family (The Landgraabs), after he became a successful comedian. Mitchell is an asexual gay sim in my game and Gavin got married to Nina Caliente, who lied to him about her daughter being Gavin's child instead of Don Lothario's. Maaike and Ulrike got engaged in my save, but Ulrike ended up cheating on her with Candy Behr and left Maaike at the altar for Candy. That was crazy! Akira and Miko were also friends with benefits, also resulting in an accidental pregnancy and got married because of their daughter. Darling transitioned (ftm) and became Devin. Cecilia Kang (New Start) had an affair with Thomas Watson from Cottage Living and they had a son, but Thomas refused to claim him as his child, because of his marriage to Rahmi. Rahmi eventually found out though, resulting in a divorce, her moving out and taking the kids with her. Thomas asked Cecilia to move in afterwards because the man cannot do household chores on his own lmao The Electic Arts household happily lived in a polyamorous relationship, Christie (Jess' daughter) moved out as a teenager, because she couldn't handle her parents' secrets anymore, and I went full rags to riches. Kaori got pregnant as a teenager by Kiyoshi Ito, Shigeru kicked her out and both Sachiko and Shigeru died before they ever made peace with Kaori and met their grandchildren. With the Elderberry's Rohan went to university, lived in the dorms, and fell in love with a man, despite having a long-term girlfriend he met as a teen and thinking he was straight. When he came back and told Ekram and Eleanore Ekram and him got in a huge fight and Ekram died of rage. Rohan and his boyfriend moved in to support Eleanore and they all lived a happy life together. Insane storylines, I'm well aware! But it was so fun and gave them all so much personality

Fun fact about Ulrike and how forgettable she is, she has the same three traits as Holly Alto from Get Famous. Creative, Perfectionist and Art lover. That's how blend she is, everything about her revolves around painting, I once had a legacy founder marry her so I at least got some money. I always try to give more variety in the townies I interact with in each save so I did encounter some of the other families you mentioned. It's kinda sad but for me the most forgettable townies (based on my gameplay) were pretty much everyone from Tomarang. I don't know how to explain, but because of the residential rentals, the game generates random townie families (single mom with teen and a child) and most of them look way more pretty and interesting than the official ones. So my sims always end up interacting with the random ones instead of the official families. I remember after finishing a tomarang savefile and loving playing on the world and the community that my sims formed and going to a tierlist of all townies and bring like "Who are this people???" Probably the only one I interacted with was Cam Sadya but only cause I was needing a extra kid for a friend group.

@grippnosims

23 күн бұрын

Yeah, I think Ulrike needed like Mean or something instead of Perfectionist to give her a bit more spice. The only interesting thing about her is that she’s a part of the Renegades and her design I think is actually pretty solid. Otherwise, she doesn’t have a lot going on. I’d have to disagree with you on the Tomarang families, I find all of them to be quite memorable personally. Large part of it is probably that they all have queer narratives within them and the Tomarang Truth feature adds more depth to them. I also like that two of them are multi-generational, those families always stick out more in my mind. Btw most of the tenant options are actually not randomly generated, there are pre-made options available for the players. The household you mentioned f.e. is I think the Brock household composed of single mom Nancy Brock and her two kids Julie and Johnny. There’s quite a bit of pre-made tenant household, one of the rare instances where the devs put in some extra effort (if only they could put that effort into gameplay performance as well).

I love the Lees, Minsung is a certified cutie. I’d definitely encourage you to explore the Tomarang households more because I think they’re quite well fleshed out.

Tomarang spawns three people household (a mother, a teen and a child), Selvadorada is sometimes is a single parent and a kid (except for Skeletons, they normally will have five sims families but are all hidden from your game so you don't have Skeletons walking around in Willow Creek when you're back home) and in Mt Komorebi during the Festival of Snow and depending how populate is your world it can spawn a five people household (two parents, a teen, a kid and a toddler). I always pay attention to those because I like to give them makeovers and add them to the world as extra households. Sometime I save them to my library so they show up in different saves. But Tomarang was having so many new families that I barely paid attention to the official premades.

There’s probably many of these sims that I’ve evicted to make way for my own characters without giving them a second thought. But, one of my sims recently went to uni twice and kept bumping into Eleanor Elderberry. I think she was a professor or student and part of one of my characters’ societies. And ‘cause she a pretty lady with pretty hair and has such a strong name, of course he befriended her. She might’ve even been his BFF at uni. She seemed to just be everywhere. Every social night at the pub. Every society gathering (though, not the secret society). But, pretty much nowhere outside of uni. And she stuck around for two whole degrees! Had no idea she had a husband or grandson, though

Just because you don't run into a Sim in your gameplay, doesn't mean that that Sim is boring. A sim being boring means they have nothing to offer or the household isn't interesting. You generally only run into Sims in the neighborhoods they live in. So if you don't play a lot in strangerville, you're not going to see those townies very often unless you're living in a place like myshuno where there are tourists from other neighborhoods in the Hawaiian shirts. Everybody has different chances of seeing townies based on their play style, so that is such a weird thing to concern yourself with. No one's going to have the same experience as you and even if they did that doesn't really matter or give you anything.... it definitely doesn't mean anybody's less interesting just because you haven't ran into them in your play through. What just because you don't run into the Caliente Family you're gonna say they're boring? Like no, they're incredibly interesting because of their Ailien heritage and the fact that they're brain dead enough to keep don around.

The families i do forget about: The Rasoya's I forget about both fairly easily. The wolf family in Moonwood Mill (The Volkovs i think?) Always moves out of their home. The Hoapilis: The younger adult one easily fades into the background. And the elder is more likely spotted in San Myshuno than Sulani Bess Sterling's (husband, boyfriend, Roommate or whatever) specifically: I swear neither of them leave their home and the only reason I know Bess is because she constantly calls for donations.

Playing with aging off definitely allows for the elder Sims more time to shine, maybe I’ll try that at some point. Agree with your list, most of them don’t stick out too much, aside from the Volkov’s imo. I run into them a lot and Kristopher is an absolute icon in my eyes. I think that’s another difference with playing with aging on vs off, the occults will stick out more for players that play with aging on since they don’t die and will pop up periodically throughout multiple generations of your played family. I’m on Gen 6 of my Legacy Challenge and the Volkov’s are still hanging out in my save, as are Vlad and Lilith (Caleb died randomly two generations ago rip).

Now that you mention it, I can't recall seeing the roomies pop up in my game either

I once revamped the Roomies household and actively only played with them. I got Zoe married to Johnny Zest lol. But yeah, usually they are quite forgettable.

I only know the elderberry's bcs I played with Dream home decorator once and they came to me with offers so often I acc renovated their whole entire house and had like 100% relationship w/ both the elders jst from asking about designs and shit 😭🙏 (I will forever love them for that (just the elders not the son, the son was truly not that present and moved out from story progression at some point) they were such good clients honestly (they paid good))

Whenever I think of the Free Spirits, I always remember them cuz of the fact that Ulrike and Maiike has opposite styles, like "oh its that goth and preppy duo, the painter and writer duo", and I always find it fun giving the two a makeover. If there's any household that I often forget in Get Together, its the Bros one for me. We already have a geek and a DJ siblings in the pack, it had a similar concept with the Bher. One of the brothers also looks like with J Huntington, so that's another factor why. Also I often play with creative sims. Like Ulrike is alaways at the museum and Maiike is always at the library, so I end up befriending at least one of them 😭

Rohan elderberry is super memorable to me bc i had my sim marry him in a save and when she was in her third trimester with his child he DIED. I was so angry.

Had no clue so many of these sims outside of BG existed much less had families until a youtuber I watched interacted with them. Some of them I had no clue which packs they were from until this video.

I'm the opposite with cottage living 😅 i love playing as cecilia and i often forget sarah's husband exists

while im super aware of the roomies because of the new girl reference, ur right in that they are super forgettable 😭 i consistently forget they exist because they never show up in my world besides j huntington III lol. the karaoke legends i never forget simply because ive made over that household so many times, & darling walsh almost ALWAYS ends up becoming friends with my teen sims somehow. cecilia is currently the wife of my cottagecore lesbian sim for one of my legacies, & she's SOSO pretty so i always notice her! everyone else on this list is def rly forgettable tho.

I loved playing with the Eclectic Arts household! Leslie and Mark married had a child, so did Alice and that Erwin guy, and the two children ended up together too xD

Their house is just so ugly that I haven’t really wanted to play them lmaooo

I feel like for Cottage Living, having two households with the whole "I'm from the city, I just wanted a fresh start" is a bit of a cop out

I thought Rohan was a randomized sim when my teen sim invited him over after school 😂

Holy moly, no lies told

I always make both Tina and Yasmin mothers of Olive. Same goes with the Greenburg family.

Justice for Mary tbh, even the family bio says she and Blossom adopted Knox together. I think it’s kinda cute for Olive to be Tina’s stepdaughter though, there’s not nearly enough step relationships in the game imo. Basically just the Harjo household from what I can remember.

Agree with most, but I love the Sigworth household. Dylan and Christie balance nutty, possessed Jess! Give them another chance!

Next time I play in StrangerVille I’ll try to make the effort to interact with them!

i love olive tinker 😭 she's currently one of my sims' best friend and i grew super attached to her

I at first thought Gavin Richards was randomly generated. Then, he got mentioned on a forum and I finally realized he was a pre-made.

I've had a few of my legacy sims marry little Tala Ruano. Since she is one of the few sims who has aunts and uncles gives my family an extended family on both sides.

I remember the karaoke legends bc I had beef with them hating my interior design everytime I took a job at their apartment. Kaori married the matriarch of my first legacy challenge and is probably my most valued premade Sim, especially bc she died young. Im always happy to see her again

just discovered ur channel im watching every video now

Hope you like the content!

I agree on most of these and I'm treating this as a suggestion list for Sims to play with in my saves. The one exception would be the Karaoke family who always seem to turn up in my saves, particularly Darling, who has different genders across my games. Also, with Strangetown, I tend to bring in the Sims 2 Strangetown families from the gallery, so haven't paid much attention to the ones that come with the pack. The exception would probably be the guy who lives in the plane (Cavill?) The thing with elders is a good reason to turn off auto-aging non-played houses. I know it's less realistic, but then you can get to know these pre-made Sims and even play them at some later date as they were meant to be. Hey, I'm an OG Sims player who is used to my Sims either not aging or being frozen in time when I'm not playing them!

Yeah, I think making this video made me realize I should probably try doing an aging off let’s play at some point. I usually don’t as I find Sims aging to feel like I’m progressing in my gameplay and I often use in-game age as kind of a time limit or barrier. The trade off, of course, elder pre-mades die really early on lmao.

The newstart household,, I actually changed her name into “Snow Wheat” and gave her a Snow White theme and fixed her face and outfits a little bit and I love playing with her! ❤️

I have to agree with you on all of them except Ulrike Faust. I never see her sister Maike though. But Ulrike is all over the place with Morgan Fyres. I also play mostly in Windenburg, so that likely explains a lot of why, but still hardly ever see the others, especially the Roomies.

I have to admit, I actually forgot about 90% of these sims

I remember every single townie (with houses) until Growing Together, then I stopped paying attention a little.

@grippnosims

Growing Together is definitely where the quality of the Expansion Packs took a bit of a nosedive (*cough* For Rent *cough*)

One way I made some of these guys a bit more memorable was to give them a rewrite and to go into CAS and change up a lot if need be. For example, with Free Spirits, it was as simple as giving Maaike a sub-plot about a potential romance with the eldest Munch son (can't remember dudes name). Ulrikke on the other hand ends up in a club run by the youngest Villareal. While she simply humored the kid at first, she has become the unofficial baby sitter as these two teens and child are getting into trouble. Especially with the local vampires. In the case of Roomies? It was a bit more drastic. I separated the household and turned them all into teens. I then gave them parents (and siblings if I found it appropriate). I then wrote story lines for each one, using Sims 3 story telling as inspiration. This comment is already long enough so I won't go into detail but I hope this gives some people ideas on how to make them better. Assuming they don't outright delete them from the game that is.

alice, rohan, kaori, and travis scott have married one of my sims kids lol

Might be a small detail, but i notice that the base game tends to have more exaggurated and conveintionally attractive faces compared to the sims in the expansion packs; infact the expansion pack sims look more like regular people lol. I think Jay is the best example of an attractive, yet exaggerated face. tbh a lot of male sims look a little off.

i forever hold a grudge against akira because my legacy founder sim was his neighbor and they HATED each other.

Akira is my go to husband and babydaddy. 😂 But I've never noticed that he's in that household.

This is why I take time to play every household and create a new storyline for them. I always turn off household stories and aging and play Every Household in Every Town and Pack I Own. It helps you connect with them and creates lasting memories that have nothing to do with the boring material the sim provided for these families. I don't own every pack but if I did I would micro managee even harder than I already do.

Only reason I know all these is cause of the countless hours I’ve spend redesigning every single household lol.

The unfortunate case of Elder Sims, they just die so quickly if you’re not playing on long lifespan or with aging off

I'm not sure, but I used SimDa Chatroom by LittheMsSam and romanced quite a lot of sims, including *_KATRINA!_* Nina and Dina Caliente, and Don (I'll never see *_KATRINA_* as the twins' mom, because she was only given that role in TS4, and the twins are part Alien as well. It's literally IN their last name, cALIENte. One of their parents is an Alien, they're responsible for Bella Goth's disappearance, Don is involved in that as well, and the fact that 2/3 of the most ICONIC Base Game households got refreshes after one another with several months between, tells me that the Landgraab household, and hopefully Johnny Zest, the disowned child of Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab, will be included since he was _born_ into the _Landgraab_ Family, so he's a _Landgraab_ by _blood_ and should be included in the Landgraab refresh. Maybe he'll even be added to the family tree in-game? Who knows?! Anyways, I had forgotten how to spell Geofferey's name, and spelt it "Jeffory" because that's how it sounds in my head when I say it out loud. I had to google how to spell it and accidentally googled "nancy langraab busband" instead of "nancy landgraab husband," but in my defence, I'm in a moving car, slightly tired because we've been driving for like 7-8 hours with frequent stretching, toilet and eating stops, tho any toilet and/or eating stops are also stretching stops because they require walking. I also have a tendency to type really fast. We were visiting my brother and his girlfriend and drove down there last week as of tomorrow, and is currently headed home, and we may be home today or after midnight, so tomorrow, but who knows. Either way, I used the aforementioned mod, SimDa Chatroom by LittleMsSam, to make friends, but I ended up also romancing lots of sims. I have the 18+ WW installed, so once I'm home, I plan on making a copy of the save, add some of them into my household and have _fun_ then throw them back to their households and repeat with others, tho I won't do it with any singular households who has a horse or sims who are VIS (Very Important Sims), with them, both single sim households w/horse or VIS, those I'll call up and have _fun_ with. I have to set the max limit of sims in my household to 104 and max household children to 50, both done with MCCC. I think I'll actually just plop everyone down on the 64×64 lot in Chestnut Ridge, add _everyone_ to my household, cheat relationships with UI Cheats, lock needs with Shift + Left Click + Cheat Sim Info... + Lock All Need Decays, thos is done after maxing out everyones needs. I'll then have everyone be able to get pregnant and impregnante (I have a Horse Ranch save where both sims, both female too, got pregnant from the uncensored WooHoo option --18+ WW-- and I figured I wanted them both pregnant and give birth SIMultaneously. I (un)fortanetly don't have Get to Work on my alt EA account - per James Turner, Formerly known as TheSimSupply's words, "EA App sucks! I disabled SP14 (pack that shall not be named - it's the DLC for DLC pack), but thr app keeps reinstalling it! I even deleted the file, but it's returned. It's so annoying!", tho that weren't his exact words, but the point I was going for was that if a big time SimTuber like him outright *_hates_* SP14 to the point he wanted to have it disabled, took time to code a tool to make that happen and slapped it onto his website (tho I doubt that's the reason behind the Disable Pack Tool, despite it sounding very likely without the context of it being more likely he did so because he simply just _wanted_ to do so, and it's even been used by other SIMSTubers likelilSIMSie in restricted pack build challenges, but I find it annoying she doesn't advertise the tool and says "My friend James Turner, Formerly known as TheSimSupply made this tool that lets you disable packs. He also made SimGuesser and Higher or Lower. All of it is over on his website. I'll link it down in the description, and I'll link the videos where I played SimGuesser and Higher or Lower on the end card as well." or something shorter, but the short ad should end with "I'll link his website down in the description." either with or without the video mentons. And I also have a tendency to rant, _a lot_

the karaoke household has been such a big part of my current save so it's impossible for me to forget about them 😭 ok so, my sim is a bit of a fuckboy and sleeps around a lot (no shame there!), he's had a thing with like half this save's sims at this point. one day he got approached by akira kibo who just started flirting with him out of nowhere, he was good-looking and they hit it off so I was like sure you two can sleep together I don't mind! they hit it off so well that I decided to make them meet up more often and start an actual fling between them. then one day... I go over to the karaoke household but miko is there for once. my sim and akira are woohooing, suddenly miko starts going CRAZY and I was like what the hell is going on 😭 I checked the relationship panel and apparently either MCCC or neighbourhood stories made them 1. a couple and 2. ENGAGED!!!!! I was like okay Akira, my sim may be a bit of a slut but he's not a homewrecker, so I ended the relationship. so did miko and akira btw and they absolutely despise each other now. but on a more positive note, miko and my sim are very good friends now (and from that day on I've learned to ALWAYS ask sims if they're single even if you know that by default they should be) ❤️

I only remember the free spirits household bc one of them died when i first bought get together and it was like the first time i saw neighborhood stories lol

Unfortunately they messed up the Scott household in Cottage living. You can either have them run the pub or play them, but not both (and as soon as you log into their house, they’re gone from the pub forever). In my main save Sarah disappeared without a trace and one of my Sims married Simon who was „not in the world“ before I ever found out that they were supposed to live in the world and have a story. I find Cecilia actually quite memorable. Her house is cute and she always showed up at my doorstep and hugged my chickens (they seemed to like her, but not my sim, which was lovely 😂). I don‘t usually play townies, so I‘m not overly fazed by them being memorable or not, but I would like to know why some always show up everywhere (including created characters) and some never seem to step outside their house. 🤔

I think it's just not feasible to make them playable as bar owners due to how they've programmed the NPC roles, in that a Sim only has it if it's not being played. It's the same story with f.e. Bess Sterling, if you play her then someone else will be given the Entrepreneur role and she will just be a regular Sim. To that last point, I think the traits and skills of Sims actually affect how frequently they pop up. So, like, Sims with the Active trait or Fitness skill are more likely to show up in gyms or be flagged as joggers by the game and are therefore more likely to pop up around the world. I also assume that Sims are more likely to appear in the worlds that come from the packs they're included in. That's likely why StrangerVille is the only world with two entries in my video, I'm not really living there unless I'm doing the StrangerVille storyline and there's only so many times you can do it before you get your fill. Those would be my theories at least, of course I don't really know how the code of the game works lmao. Maybe it's all just completely random.

@@grippnosims I know that certain jobs are exclusively reserved for NPCs (outside of get to work pretty much all jobs you can encounter I guess), but I‘m not certain why they rolled a defining NPC role into a couple of playable characters who they planted into the world. So, as soon as you do play them or even just have a closer look at their (lovely) house their story just evaporates. It’s not well thought out imho. And that’s without taking into account that Henford has a known glitch where the roles in town (creature keeper, mayor, grocer etc) often gets randomly recast, which I’m guessing is why Sarah disappeared. It‘s obvious that some characters show up more often in specific places. Like young people who like dancing show up at the clubs often. But then some of my base game sims always show up everywhere I go, doesn’t matter if in Evergreen Harbour or on Mount Komorebi, park or bar, they’ll be there... Meanwhile some other sims I made in base game I have never met anywhere at all.

​@@Seldarius There are a few households with this distinction, of having members with specific NPC roles yet aren't NPCs and live on a lot at the start of a save so the Scotts aren't really unique in that way, but I totally get what you mean. It's definitely a shame that the Scotts sort of lose this core aspect to their story if you decide to jump into them, though personally I prefer the trade-off of them being playable tbh.
