How do I get maxis made families back?

Hi all

This might be a stupid question so apologies in advance...

I'm playing a continuous save - probably 15 generations down the line and I have focussed on my own made families so with auto aging on a lot of the maxis made families have died etc but I would like to re-introduce them to the current save. How do I do that please? I'm particularly interested in finding the sims 4 Calientes and Goths.

Thanks in advance! x

    ps I tried searching on the gallery but it seems to be re-makes or they're very edited by people.

    Start a brand new save. In the new save, go to each premade family you want to reintroduce to your legacy save. Save them all to your library. Close the new save. Open your legacy save and download all the premades from your library and you're good to go. Have fun with them :)

    I have an idea that might work. First, open up a brand new save and enter the lots where the desired premades live. Then take the family into cas.fulleditmode and from there SAVE them into your "My Library". That way when you go back into your current save you should be able to access them and place them back into your game. To prevent them aging and dying off again, go into the gameplay menu and select "aging on for active household, only". That way your family will age, but unless you play the other households, they won't. Best of luck. Hope this works.

    I was all set to hit post on my answer, when my computer crashed. Seems we're of a like mind on this. ;)

    Worked a treat! Thanks so much :) The Calientes are going to be Salsa experts when the new pack drops.

    What a great idea, @tegteg87 - I can totally see that, as well as Don Lothario as Salsa teacher. :D

    Can you please help me? I play legacies a lot but after a while, when I look at my family tree, few (dead) members of the family are "gone". There is grey default icon suggesting that that person existed but no name or picture and I cannot click on them. Can I fix this somehow?

    search MaxisCreator_01 in the gallery and some premade families are there. if not, type in the household name you're looking for because many simmers have them uploaded, although some of them are recreated or have makeovers.
