How many premade families have you played?

Ok, I admit, I dream to play ALL the premade families in Sims 3. But there are just too many! Sigh... (maybe this is why there are so few in Sims 4... They went overboard!)
I am an erractic player, I could never play all in order, even less in rotation... My computer can handle so many families at a time, my brain as well... But I am a perfectionist too, I want them to have the life they deserve.
How many premade families have you played? How?
Or have you just given up? ;P

I do occasionally start with premade sims living alone. In my current game I started with Matteo Torres in Isla Paradiso, for example. He married one of the NPC mermaids and is trying to unlock all the hidden islands. The only other premade I can remember playing is a sim in Lunar Lakes (Michael Tomyoy). He married an alien and they had ... almost 50 kids before Error Code 12 shut down that game.
River McIrish became the spouse of one of my created sims.
They made some awesome "hafu" kids.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
I've married in some premades but never played the families- in TS3. I've checked them out to see how they're situated.
Jared and Jamie:
Connor and Jared:
Jared, Claire and Marissa their daughter:
Also a huge fan of VJ and his family, even created a mom for them for one of my stories..(VJ and my Meggie)
Miraj with made over Ethan Bunch and Parker Langerak..
VJ with his little brother Miraj:
Iqbal and the mother I created for the family Marianna (they fought a lot):
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I've got the Funke family from the family bin, the Monty family in Monte Vista, Don Lothario in Riverview, Sinbad Rotter and Goodwin Goode of Riverview.
Edit: I've also played a little bit with Kara Carter of Midnight Hollow.
Showcase
From the start, the option to create my own Sims was irresistable. I have always started with a Sim I made for myself.
The closest I have come to playing premades is bringing a townie into my household. In Bridgeport, my Sim befriended and romanced the burglar who he met robbing his fancy deco loft. In Twinbrook, I targeted Shark Racket to join my household (for a romance, a haircut and a name change), but that is about it. I am more prone to seeding the town with romance prospects that I also create and place myself.
One of the things I want to accomplish in the game is also to play all the premades, if possible! 🤗

Yea I remember my newbie days of ts3 my sims was married Mortimer Goth. I think about it now is very funny knowing he supposed be with Bella.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Each game is an alternate universe so no predestined soulmates for me, although Mortimer and Bella start out as best friends so it does seem the game is geared toward them being together. Since I never played the earlier Sims games I was not predisposed to have them together. In fact I liked Mortimer before I started playing a female child sim as my main sim so in my games he would end up with my sim more often than Bella. He would sometimes end up with her or Darlene Bunch or Kaylynn Langerak or Sandi French and sometimes would never find a partner. But I always tried to look out for him, sometimes bringing him into my household even when my sim was in an established relationship. Then I would try to "fix" his life and move him out with a partner. But I never pushed him toward Bella.
I have played most of the Sunset Valley's familes, at least at some point. In my ongoing save I rotate between about ~10 of the households.[1]
In Riverview I had a big save which I didn't continue, I think it included all the families but I haven't really spend much time in every household. It was more to play with the nraas story progression to the limit.
I have a current save in Twinbrook which includes 7(?) families [2], but to be more precise, I have a huge household I combined from many premade families. So they have some connection with their families, and I know their families, but practically I play only one household in this save.
In Moonlight Falls, Hidden Springs, Starlight Shores I think I know only one or two premade households which I actually play (in different worlds). I played a few more (around 6?) in Bridgeport. [3]
[1] Frio, Clavell, Ursine, Kennedy, Landgraab, Alto, Bunch, Alvi, Working friends, Bachelor...
[2] Racket, Curious, Baker, Bayless, Castor, Greenwood, Prudence, Whelhoff [I this I had to copy from wikia to remember all the names]
[3] Aria Trill, Ebenezer Clavier, Buster Round, Polly Melony, Harry Marks, Littler family, Cook
In Sunset Valley I have played with most households, having the basegame only for about a year before starting to add EP:s. My long running save there was lovely D. with kids, one of which moved in with the Goths and took her best friend with her while convincing Günther to ditch wifey and kiddo, being fairly uninteresting. The friend was a very accompliced writer and formed a forbidden relation to G, something that both amused and annoyed me.
In Riverview the Grandpa's household was played for a while with much drama. Bennie and Henry formed an attraction and I let Melvin court one of the spinsters, I mean Spensters sisters. Bennie is such a sweet sim but Henry tried to steal Melvins love object as well resulting in a lot of work for me to fix it all (okey, I might have been the instigator, at least of forming the attraction).
I always befriend the Ivanovs when in Riverview.
In Twinbrook I took delight in playing with Agatha Christie (Riddle), and had a long-going save where I moved in Marc Brandt and DeAndre Wolfe as rommmates to my fairy sculptor's small apt/studio, juggling a healthy and very adoring relation to Marc with his werewolf affliction and a constant attention from DeAndre. The Whelohfs were werewolfs as well and dear friends to Marc, very cute together rubbing eachother's bellies and taking turns destroying furniture.
Lola Belle in Bridgeport always gets my sim's attention in some way, treated tenderly and careful; Sugar Bijou is always a friend. Once I played a ditzy sim convincing Woody Allen (Alan Stanley) to form a love story, moved in, kicked out the rival, burned him to death and moved in the teenage love object Bronson Littler as a sort of weird comment. Sugar Bijou seemed inspired and married her Tom Wordy who drowned shortly thereafter, all by vanilla story progression.
Moonlight Falls was the setting for a challenge of 'hands off', for which I created a family of vampire mother, father and four toddlers and watched as it unfolded. Dad was not life viable and sadly died from sun exhaustion by the second week, but the others thrived long enough for me to form an attachment and decide to play them instead, abandoning the challenge structure. The mother formed a relation to the Gould's father and son, but married the patriarch and moved in her kids and kicked out his.
Gladsten Farmwell from this town is such a handsome sim, suitable both as a lumberjack and a farmer, which he is in my farmsave where his daughter brought home Sharon Dorsey from University world and who is now roommate and fiancee, never to get married since I prefer uncontrollable sims. She helps with the crops and spreads flowers around, so lovely. Probably corrupting my save too.
I have played a Klara in Aurora Skies, best friend with all townies and very involved in their lives, but strictly speaking not rotational;
the Cinderella household (Pertridge) in Hidden Springs, like the fairytale dictates, but letting them keep all their toes and heels;
And in Midnight Hollow the Duchess of Alba and her commoner (Vasquez). They were happy together all while Fausto formed feelings for the young men in town; of whom I also played out the Tim Burton doll story of Jack Limb and his two affections Katarina Stewart and Sarah Holden with complications. I bought the premium item toy machine only for this and started a toy store, it was all very silly.
The Winchester siblings were friends with David Bowie and Iman (Ziggfields) and being royalty noone else could suffice and they had a sibling's love relation keeping in tradition. Platonic but brewing under the surfice, very les enfants terrible. And of course Olive Specter and Nervous Subject, mostly on free will, hands off with Jules Wheeler as first planned victim, but then my old computer gave up on the sims and he was saved from the EA storyline.

Twin Peaks really felt like sims... In a weird way.
Unfortunately, EA tends to contradict its own lore. The Caliente sisters don't have the right personality and I can't stand Bob Newbie's depiction. I cannot see him as artistic... Bookworm??? Maybe I misjudged him, but...
@Auroraskies You truly got into it! Sounds like a lot of fun!
If I didn't restart my saves so often, I might be there... Lol. There's always something that goes wrong. So far so good except that Yvette Grisby is stuck with cutlery in her hand...
@SimplyJen , I just read that the order is Sims 3, then Sims, then Sims 2. They said 4 doesn’t really follow anything but does have reoccurring characters (I only played with the Goths in 4 but know there are others, I know the Landgraab’s are wandering around town).
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
But sometimes my sim cannot put down her hand after having a drink at a bar (also common in life, waiter, just one more!), but that usually fixes itself when resetting in some way.
Unless you count marrying one of them and playing them once they move into my household.
