The Most Forgettable Households in The Sims 4

Today I'll be talking about what I think are some of the most forgettable households in The Sims 4.
EA ID: grippno

[@traumedged]

Only reason why I remember the karaoke household is cause Akira is there and he makes cute babies. You’re right tho, these sims look like those premade sims you get in CAS when you start a new save.

[@grippnosims]

Akira is a cutie but just so so boring, sorry to this man. He needs some style tips from Izzy Fabulous.

[@traumedged]

@@grippnosimsmost of my sim’s spouses are housewives/husbands so I don’t mind them not having a personality 😅 they’re just there to carry the legacy!

[@f.airy.x]

@@grippnosimsI think he’s actually pretty interesting. I find his jealousy quite endearing.

[@shoriginal]

That's just what I was about to comment! Akira is my go-to baby daddy every time!

[@Harudodo]

Miko Ojo is also my girlie, I love her But I never remember there’s a third person besides her and Akira lmao

[@sxphity]

j huntington is the only memorable roomie because he's everyone's base game baby daddy

[@grippnosims]

He’s got those good genes. Tho I’d argue Gavin is just as cute as J, if not cuter. He’s got that good bone structure lmao

[@Chris-ot9bk]

J is the only sim from that household that always go outside and go places

[@PlaystationSimmer]

I remember him being one of the go to romance options when the basegame dropped, but I think Akira Kibo took his place since

[@MarsTheSimmer]

I always use Galvin if I use the roomies becausee i feel he cute and make cute sims babies. Zoe always at a bar or club looking to hook up in all my saves.

[@ThreadBareHope1234]

😄😄I didn't know that. In my current (second) playthrough, I interacted with him for the first time via phone call, after moving to Oasis Springs. Saying someone wanted to go on a blind date with me.

[@ilhambudi95]

I often forgot Spencer-Kim-Lewis exist.

[@Roman.Empire_DunDunDun]

Omg same. The only way Ik that the daughter exists is bc one of my sims married her

[@st4rri_ari]

i’ll never forget em, the wife was the first one i tried to romance and then i found out she wasn’t single 😀

[@giuliamaini6863]

I created a drama with the husband that I was having so much fun with but sadly I lost the save when I changed computer😢

[@simgraze]

ok bc why is the roomies' house SO ugly

[@grippnosims]

literally, did they even try with the base game builds?

[@vincentlevarrick6557]

I only have base game and I will 100% back you up on the Roomies being forgettable. I have over 30 save files and I have never interacted with Gavin Richards. 😅

[@grippnosims]

literally where is he? never seen him in my life

[@gnu_andrew]

Yes, this video is literally the first I've heard of them. Interesting that this happens in base game too, as I'd have assumed it was all the expansions on mine swamping them.

[@lordjreen]

I don't think I've ever seen him til I watched this and I've had the Sims 4 since release LOL

[@orchidawex6072]

he is the first husband in my legacy challenge ive been playing for 6 years so I have a soft spot for him 🤭

[@murpsydurpsy]

Ligit the only reason I remember Gavin is cause he was my first ever legacy challenges founders husband

[@roselisesullivanbarrett]

Jay isn’t the first canonical non-binary character. Morgyn from realm of magic was confirmed as NB before being NB was even an option in the sims

[@grippnosims]

Yeah I was super wrong about that one lmao. Even Ash Harjo predates Jay. I was going off the fanwiki which states them to be the first non-binary Sim, though I now see that they meant explicitly non-binary since they’re the first to use the term non-binary in-game through their Sequoia Secrets while Morgyn and Ash are just implied through outside information and their pronoun preferences. Though I guess that just strengthens my point of them being forgettable since they don’t even have the distinction of being the first non-binary Sim haha

[@jujujutsuk3146]

Morgyn mention!! ✨•°☆°~

[@yardencalif241]

So many sims I encounter in a save I'm like "oh, you're a neat-looking townie" and then they show up in a different save and I feel silly

[@janinaschr5702]

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

[@grippnosims]

Iconic ngl, I live for the drama of your gameplay

[@iamsongforsomeone994]

This is how you play with townies! Now I’m tempted to start a save where all I do is play with the premade sims and sims that maxis made then make them more interesting through gameplay

[@michaelaford2409]

@@iamsongforsomeone994I love this idea! I think I’m gonna join you

[@melissah287]

I am never friends with J Huntington III for no other reason than his first name is one letter. I think my Sims turn out a little petty, but we won't look too close at why because that wouldn't speak well for me.

[@Salliana_Of_Suramar]

playing with premade sims is equal to aesthetic sadomazochism imo...

[@mar-nyan]

I don’t recognize most of the Sims you called recognizable, but know all of the ones you mentioned as forgettable 😅 The BFFs are icons, they’re always there to meet me when I play in their world. I recognize the Free Spirits household because I had to break them up when my Sim found out the one with dark hair wasn’t single 🤣 and Cecilia was my first wife in Cottage Living because she’s just so pretty for a premade Sim, I love her

[@grippnosims]

Just goes to show how different each person’s game is. I never run into certain households when another person sees them literally everywhere lmaoo

[@ThreadBareHope1234]

Same. I recognized the BFF's right away. It's a shame thought that the Elderberry's are forgettable. (I'm only in my first official play through so I don't know). Rohan is cute

[@xLSPx]

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

[@irlorbit]

i agree with this list aside from the karaoke legends. akiro is a dealer in my save file 😭 i used to have miko as my sims best friend when the pack was new and darling is like one of the only teens in this game so she’s invited to all the teen functions lol

[@grippnosims]

Maybe the newer packs, especially HSY, has reduced Darling’s memorability a bit since we’ve gotten so many more teen Pre-mades. I feel like I never see her, not even when I go to high school with my teens.

[@CliffCutterActual]

@@pinkdiamond1847 I agree, Darling just radiates non-binary energy. I'm convinced the only reason they aren't classed as non-binary by default is because they/them pronouns simply weren't in the game until HSY.

[@salgadomondragonjorgeisaac9945]

for me the most forgettable households are the ones in sulani

[@itsmattq]

no cuz same I could not even tell you a single sims name. except for that mermaid girl that’s in all of the promos but she’s not even in a household 😭

[@jamesgray9150]

I only remember the one dude with the Mohawk because, when I first started testing out island living, he was the main partner of my sim. She cheated a lot but he never caught her

[@grippnosims]

I’ve played a lot in Sulani so that’s probably why they stick in my mind a bit more. The Hoapili household though is definitely a little forgettable imo.

[@gnu_andrew]

@@itsmattq there's a male mermaid too, who I ended up playing because he was dating one of my Sims, and the mermaid girl immediately found him and she moved in the next day.

[@ShinyShilla]

Liking sulani and playing a lot in the neighborhood, this is so true I remember their faces only because they constantly harass me with their food

[@WesleiOliveira628]

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]

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).

[@WesleiOliveira628]

​@@grippnosimsOh no I didn't mean the Brock family I mean the actual randomly generated ones that only exist in that savefile. The game keeps spawning them and my child sims had a whole family group (and yes Tomarang is pretty queer, most of the ones that spawn were all lesbians or bisexual), from the rental premade the ones that really caught my attention were the Lee family and I even married him in that savefil. But I've been giving Tomarang a chance in a different savefile and I kinda agree that they can be unique specially with the Tomarang Truth and dialogues talking about the past.

[@grippnosims]

​@@WesleiOliveira628 Oh okay, I actually didn’t know the game would spawn in randomly generated households with more than one Sim, I thought it was only single Sim households. Maybe the exception is Residential Rentals so you don’t only have single Sim options if you run out of the Pre-made Tenants. If so, that’s pretty cool that they thought of that. 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. Arturo Linh is one of my fave Pre-mades as he has that dumb Sims energy that I love (he’s this gay astronaut that’s convinced there’s bears on the moon and made it his life mission to find them to prove it, to his husband’s dismay). I also have a personal bias towards Kasem Bun Ma due to his history here on my channel haha.

[@WesleiOliveira628]

@@grippnosims Fun fact, Selvadorada Tomarang and Mt Komorebi are the only worlds that spawn actual families. 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. Right now I have a new save with my sim married to Thi Lihn so I'll probably try to check out more of her parents before they die (but they have like only a week left I think)

[@grippnosims]

@@WesleiOliveira628 Oh wow that’s cool, definitely didn’t know any of that lmao. Thanks for the info!

[@nash3689]

I've actually interacted with more of these premades after giving them a refresh and adding some depth to them. Ive placed majority of sims in clubs so i always see them around. For example, i have a woohoo club with don lothario, j huntington and other non commital sims. Or a gardening club with some of the elderly sims. I even have a solving strangerville club with dylan sigworth, erwin pieres and the eclectic arts household and their hangout spot is at the local library.

[@livvsimz]

I can only remember the elderberry household because Rohan has so many kids in my saves hahah or I can always recognize his kids from his hair colour since I feel like not many townies have it

[@SevenEllen]

Alexander and Cassandra Goth are the best Sims for me in the whole game. I always imagined they never gave up looking for their mum after she disappeared and used their father's time machine to look for her. I wish there was a way to complete their story by collecting Bella's grave, bringing it back to the Goth house, and resurrecting her by calling the Grim Reaper.

[@777.niya_]

i’ve never seen mitchel from the roomies. i’ve seen everyone, mainly Gavin and J. NEVERR mitchel

[@MikaelaCher]

The Elderberry family will always be iconic to me bc in one save I went with my teen sim to romance Rohan. When I got there, his grandpa had passed, and as I was trying to make him feel better the grandma DIED as well in front of my eyes. 10/10 experienxe

[@Itisybitsyteacup]

I remember the Nishidake and Elderberry household often bc I always pair the teens together in my games. It makes sense to me they’d at the very least be friends since they’re the only teens being raised by their grandparents

[@grippnosims]

That’s a cute pairing, tho rip Kiyoshi since he’s supposed to be Kaori’s canonical boyfriend lmao

[@krwrie]

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 😭

[@elizabeths.1888]

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

[@microwaav]

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.

[@elishavelez8746]

I agreed with most of them. But all 3 Nishidake's especially Kaori are everywhere in my game's (I dont play with lifespans) and Elenore Elderberry always ends up as a food stall vendor in all my games. 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.

[@grippnosims]

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).

[@spookylittlebat5208]

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

[@kSchmidt583]

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.

[@algsunshine7075]

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.

[@itownie]

The way i never realized until now that the roomies were supposed to be a new girl reference 😭😭😭 like WHAT

[@adakaitekota316]

The household that lives on the windenburg island that has two men, a romantic and a DJ. I can’t even remember their names, and they hardly show up in my saves.

[@grippnosims]

I've always loved the Bro household and Joaquin has a very distinct look to me but I can see why they fall a bit to the wayside amongst all the Get Together Sims.

[@ArtsyLili]

Bro sometimes I see a townie once in a blue moon and I'm like, "WHO TF ARE YOU?"

[@aldey8906]

The only reason the karaoke legends household is memorable to me is because I'd always be romancing akira 😭

[@alyalvarado1667]

Karaoke Legends and Nishidake family are icons in my saves. Karaoke Legends bc my grown sims always end up either with Akira or Miko (and I love the drama that ensues from it since they do have crushes on each other) and Kaori Nishidake is either always the best friend or girlfriend of my teen sims (and I also love the drama bc she has a crush on Kiyoshi Ito, who also usually ends up as the boyfriend of my teen sims). Besides that, yes, everyone else is pretty forgettable.

[@BritZ1997]

I could never forget about Cecelia, she’s my go-to partner in every cottage living playthrough, even if she is non-committal

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

I remember one time I played with the karaoke legends household. I was playing with the better mermaids mod, and my sim started dating akira before moving in with them. Akira and darling became mermaids as well, the latter become a sea witch as well and having a villain arc.

[@viveleshistoires4874]

The karaoke legends are iconic to me because in one of my longest-running save files (I played through several generations and all! Not something I usually do lol), my then pregnant founder-sim ended up marrying Miko Ojo after leaving her husband (who was Salim Benali btw) and Miko was pregnant with Akira’s child. My sim and Miko then raised the babies together, had two more, grew old, it was a whole thing! I had Miko work on her carrer and she became president. I was really sad when she died. Now whenever I see Miko in new save files it reminds me of an entire life I had with her in a different timeline. I can’t romance her anymore and I’m always kind of sad when MCCC pairs her up with someone else because to me she will always be Hiroko’s wife.

[@oneshotonehit6731]

My Cecilia Kang had three kids with that creature keeper 😅 one of their daughters, Wendy K, stayed in the cottage, got married to another woman and they renovated the cottage completely, it looks amazing on the inside, it has these modern farm vibes if it makes sense 😅😅 so for me the new start household was IT 🎉 as for the rest of the households you mentioned in the video - couldn't agree more ❤

[@foranzo1582]

When I looked at the thumbnail, I went: grumpy Elderberry from Uni, IDK, Eclectic lady from Strangerville, Nishidake grandma from Snowy Escape, New Start woman from Cottage Living, Akira from City Living, IDK, non-goth Free Spirits woman from Get Together, and Tina Tinker's wife XDDDDD I genuinely forgot Gavin was part of Roomies, he's so... normal 💀 And Sigworth family... You're right about the "main character syndrome" in these families - I only ever remember Jess bc she's infected and is included in promos, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about the rest of the family 😆 I love soooo many pre-made Sims and I've downloaded soooo many Maxis-made sims from the Gallery that I just remember most of them SOMEHOW. Though, not gonna lie, some "simple" ones are such a mystery to me

[@qwerkiangoo-o2929]

1:14 Don't disrespect Mitchell it's the bro

[@clairesmithstone]

for some reason in every single one of my saves the roomies household is at the root of most of the messiest drama i find, and mitchell always ends up with a bunch of kids. i WISH i didn’t have to see them so often 😭

[@aika7593]

I was kinda surprised to see Karaoke Legends but I think I remember them just because I used to play in the apartment next to theirs a lot and I saw their Welcome Wagon a ton of times Miko's haircut helps a little ngl

[@grippnosims]

I don’t think I’ve played much in their neighborhood, I usually default to the Arts Quarter or the Spice Market when I live in San Myshuno so that could definitely factor in their inclusion on this list

[@megan-wn2ld]

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))

[@hannahevertson8306]

The karaoke ledgends are very memorable for me. Akira glitched into my appartment the first time i played with city living somehow and that turned into him fathering my sim's child in a ridiculous story i honestly adore.

[@vstarrelorion]

Y all remember Ned Whalen exist from ads The Sims 4 2014 or 2015 ?

[@grippnosims]

I honestly never understood why the Sims they made for marketing never made it into the game proper. I feel like they should just add them as Townies in the base game, it’s kinda weird that Alex Moyer is the only base game Pre-made Townie.

[@stannctorbeasquare]

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.

[@deljean]

Gavin is the most active townie in my saves. He be everywhere😂

[@koololdster]

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

[@grippnosims]

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

[@bubblegumgunx3012]

Gotta love the SSX Tricky reference, Kaori was always my favorite character to play.

[@kylaserafim]

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*)

[@luce9988]

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

[@Cangwen]

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

[@grippnosims]

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.

[@TheMeganExperience]

High key i have played the Kang household so many times! She’s so pretty right from the go and as a single sim, easy to play ^_^

[@JustCakie]

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

[@nelly_lu]

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

[@grippnosims]

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

[@Colorcrayons]

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.

[@TFAric]

Zoe was everywhere for me back in the day, get to work co worker, bartender or one of the food stalls. Now I never see her.

[@wiltedpetals]

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

[@FedeFG]

I hardly ever interact with pre-made sims because my game has a lot of time and all of them are dead, just the descendants remain. 😅

[@amelieh9499]

i love karaoke legends because of miko ojo. she's so cute :)

[@kriscat100]

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

[@gnu_andrew]

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!

[@grippnosims]

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.

[@iamsongforsomeone994]

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.

[@oskarws3242]

I absolutely loved this video, I have memorised every single townie from Sims 4 worlds and I'm happy that someone is making content with them :D I definetely stay here for longer! You've got a new subscriber ^^

[@oskarws3242]

And I have to catch up on previous videos :D

[@grippnosims]

Glad to have you on board! I’ve definitely got plans to make more videos about the pre-mades so stay tuned I guess lmao

[@cdmp777]

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! ❤️

[@JT_From_Outer_Space]

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) ❤️

[@LianeCarina]

Jay Robles is aaalwaaays at the willow creek park playing chess even in the beginning of this video😲🤣😧😂

[@juliaturk7054]

I tend to not pay too much attention to the premade sims. My husband and I have been playing Sims 4 for so long, we have tons of households that have whole storylines, multiple generations, and of course some personal attachment. Like, there's some sims I started with when they were just infants/toddlers (on long lifespan) and predominantly played as them. However, there are some premade ones that are more recognizable to me. - Judith Ward (Whom I absolutely adore lol) - The Munches (Because Wolfgang is such a little sh*thead lol. At least he seems to chill out when he ages up) - Markovichs (Because my husband interacted with them a lot with some of his sims and they're ACTUALLY attractive) - The Groves (Because I had one of my sims, Grace (who I had played with before and just aged down) be the daughter of Umber) - Lilith and Caleb (Especially after I redesigned them) - Rory & Leo (I did also redesign Rory, but she was already a stand out even before hand) - The 3 Sages of Magic (Although L. Faba and Simeon Silversweater were heavily redesigned) So... I guess this means that the ones that stand out to me more are ones that are "Special NPCs"/Were heavily redesigned/Were interacted with a lot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ST4RSH4PED]

icl after getting into the sims 2 HEAVILY i haven’t found myself getting attached to any of the sims in the sims 4. even when i used to play often i would always make sims instead of using the pre-made townies. in the sims 2 i literally never make sims haha

[@gabetratz2364]

I always remember the sigworths when Christie ages up. She has enormous ears and a football-shaped head once she becomes a teen

[@kurtisseid8361]

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.

[@seraphim108]

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.

[@Samantha.K.S.Simpson]

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_

[@killertau-]

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

[@THATSmE4EVA2u]

Everything after Cats and Dogs... Zoe Patel is EVERYWHERE in mx games... 🙈

[@Luna11161]

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.

[@andyz6306]

Karaoke Legends are literally the neighbors of my other main Sim, and Darling hates him, so I would love to see them /less/.

[@BrokenDollyTV]

Holy moly, no lies told

[@loonastrawberry]

every sims 4 households is forgettable... sims 2 & 3 had some very interesting and full of life families, but in sims 4 every households look like random generation cardboards

[@EvaIdk__Romania]

Oh please, when I first got the Sims 4, I had the BIGGEST crush on Gavin! And Jay, Jay was the "baby daddy" of every sim!

[@ktitapeace_]

With the high school expansion Darling Walsh from the karaoke legends started to appear more, I always befriend her when I play with teenagers

[@jettlethedragonpeeltheoran8915]

My latest Sim has just married one of the Roomies.

[@cocopan4848]

For some reason my sims always end up befriending Shigeru Nishidake. 😂
