I'd love to see a singing career in game, EA! You can't let the singing skill go to waste! My TS4 EPs: GTW, GT, CL, C&D, S, GF, IL, DU, EL, SE, CoL, HSY, GrT, HR, FR GPs: OR, SD, DO, V, P, JA, SV, RoM, DHD, MWS
Olive Tinker waltzes with the utmost confidence down the street while wearing the funkiest outfits. I have to respect her, and make my Sim kids befriend her.
TS2:
Goths, Caliente, Lothario, Broke, Landgraab
Smiths, Grunt, (I've recently enjoyed that edited strangetown hood that adds the PSP sims whom I love and think were really missing badly)
Verona-who now?
all university pack sims
TS3:
Goths, Bachelor, Crumplebottom
Haven't really played enough TS3 to find out more but I don't hate all of them, just can't stomach the lags and bugs on the game.
TS4:
Goths, BFF
TS4 has honestly got to be the weakest in the series for premades other than oldie returning ones for the most part.
In the process of creating a starter save for myself that features Bustin Out, TS1/2/3/Mysims ideas for premades due to how much I dislike the starter TS4 sims. Caliente's feel destroyed to me and even most returning sims just feel botched to me. So the fact I have to dedicate an entire save to making a starter roster I is enough in my eyes to say how much I dislike the base roster. They aren't really memorable to me and I see most of them as "pretty townies" seeing as the game generates the worst of the worst randomly.
TS2 has my all-time favourite Sim with Tara DeBateu and her adoptive father Armond DeBateu might also be up there too.
Rose from Seasons is a favourite of mine as well (I just like plantsims a lot) and Tank Grunt. Tank Grunts been there through all the handheld Sims 2 versions so he grew on me ultra fast as a Sim I must protect when I first played PC TS2.
I would usually list someone like the Newbies and Roomies in TS1 but for me I would absolutely love to list two from the lesser known console ports. There's the two at the Octagon in Bustin Out I love: General Payne and Maxine Payne.
Back on the Sims 3 pets for the consoles I remember Rebecca Goth was a (now former) favourite for being a new Goth to the series sadly never mentioned since.
@Sorak4 would be so cool if they ever officialized Rebecca as being the mother of Victor and Samuel Goth, like taking us way back on the Goth family tree. I know many simmers disliked SIms 3 being set in the past instead of continuing the Sims 2 storyline, but they could even do that in the gallery. Like updating her, whoever she married and Victor and Samuel as her kids. Just htat would officialize her into the Goth family tree. Maybe they could even add her as an elder, her two sons as adults and teen Frida and Gunther Goth as her grandkids.
Nearly everybody from Pleasantville (especially the Caliente sisters, Don, Pleasant family, Goths - sans Alexander, sorry - and Kaylynn Langerak), the Mashuga family from The Sims 1, Holly Alto and, of course, Olive Specter.
TS2 I loved marrying eithe landgraab or goth in TS2. Same in TS1 actually. Then I'd promptly kill them.
TS3 Angnes Crumplebottom all day. Pretty much everyone from Moonlight Falls. Things got seriously chaotic in that town with all the witches casting random love spells around
TS4 I like Akira from San Myshuno, Lilith Vatore (best gym trainer). I like the kids from Snowy Escapes too, and Jenna aswell. She is so cute.
I'll always have a soft spot for Don Lothario. He immediately befriended my first sim, Luke, and was pretty much always around after that - of his own choosing.
Don ended up not being a womanizer in my story. He just didn't seem to fit the role despite his backstory. He was just a nice guy. Guess that's the problem with personalities in the game.
Premades with their own story really don't do it for me; if they play any role at all in my story, it's because I spotted them as townies and decided to harvest their sweet, delicious DNA in the interest of creating good-looking babies with my created or multi-generational sims, like a super-informal form of Breed Out The Ugly.
That's not to say the occasional townie won't charm me and earn their way into a storyline of their own; either one of my sim kids will grow up and marry them or I'll pull them out of Manage Households and pair them up with a sim I ginned up in CAS to add a bit of genetic diversity to the pool.
All of the above said, I think my favorite of the lot in that sense has been Mckinley Trevino, the librarian from Discover University, who was last seen in my save living in a modest house in Willow Creek, her adult daughter having grown up and moved out into a substantially-sized lot in Oasis Springs. (the father died never having met his daughter. Such are the casualties of a sadistic deity.)
(he/him)
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!
