I am currently playing the whole world of Lunar Lakes. To start with I moved in 2 complete families that I had played before. The Autumns and the Zees.
The Autumns - Arthur, Amanda, Alexander, Andrew, Amelia, August, April, and Alexis (All human)
The Zees - Xandria, Zoe, Xenia, Xenon, and Xiland (witches and aliens)
The Zees also had alien Zasarn and a simbot named Betty at the start. Zasarn has died and Betty became a human when she started dating a sim. Betty had extensive plastic surgery to get rid of pudding and changed her name to Beatrice. More on her later.
After I moved in those two families I totally annihilated every other sim in LL.
Next I moved in another family, the Tiptons, that I had just started last year. I had not played them very long and they only had one child so far. Since then they've had 3 more kids.
The Tiptons - Theodore, Tatiana, Tyler, Thomas, Tony, and Tamara (Humans and Fairies)
Next I moved in 28 single sims to watch which sims get together. I had originally planned to stay with the Zees, but that only lasted until a baby in another household aged up to toddler.
I have my lifespan at 1299 days. Baby - 2 days; Toddler - 7 days; Child - 75 days; Teen - 170 days; Young Adult - 395 days; Adult - 450 days; and Elder 200 days.

The first couple to get together was Melody Pond and Corey Turtledove. Melody is a witch and Corey is a fairy.
First they had Lola (the game named her or I might have named her Fiona). Next they had another little girl that they named Bethany. Both girls are witch fairies.

The next couple to get together was Jeanie Julep and Betty Zee. Since Betty Zee was a simbot, that was not going to work. A potent cure elixir turned her into a pudding sim. Nope! Into CAS she went and came out as Beatrice Zee. Beatrice is now human and Jeanie is a genie.
They have 2 kids, born one day apart. Megan and Johnny Julep - Beatrice had Megan first then Jeanie had Johnny. Both kids are human.

@Puddinroy , Thank you! I love colorful sims too! It makes them more unique to me.

I'm not good at writing stories, but I'm going to try anyway.
A little backstory...
The Sims world had become uninhabitable. Between the meteor showers and the Vampires, very few sims made it out alive.
The majority of the residents of Lunar Lakes are witches because they had known of a secret portal that let them escape from the horrors. The Autumns had paid dearly for their entry to the new world. They paid over 2 million simoleons to ensure that they had a spot. The Zees had some aliens in the family so they arrived by spaceship. The witches rescued many others including humans, fairies, werewolves, and even a genie. The witches did not rescue everyone they found though. They would only save sims that were not evil. They were trying to escape the evil that had taken over their homeworld and saw no reason to bring it with them.
A few weeks passed. Sims were trying to get on with their new lives in the new world. Four weeks later, the portal started glowing again. Someone else must have found it. It seems a group of humans had banded together to try to find a way out of the old world. The ordeal had changed them. No one in the group looked the same as they did when they started on the journey. A few had developed different traits. It started with two couples from Dragon Valley - the Hooleys and the Kellys. Before they left the Valley, they were joined by the Sackholme siblings and Morrigan O'Reilly.
The Hooleys - Robin and Marian
The Kellys - Sean and Ava
The Sackholme Siblings - Mason and Susie
Morrigan O'Reilly
The group found their way to Monte Vista and picked up one more companion. Said his name used to be Giacomo, but he was leaving his old life behind and so he changed it. He now goes by the name of Eddie Modena.
They next stopped in a town called Aurora Skies. Something weird had happened here. They met with Adam Birch who had opened his home to 2 teenage boys. The boys claimed that one night they went to sleep as young adults and woke up the next morning as teenagers. Pedro Herrerra decided to keep his name. But Stein Svard had done more than just aged down, he also looked a lot different. Stein changed his name to Conrad MacKenzie because it suited him better now.
Adam, Pedro, and Conrad
The last place they stopped was a town called Riverview. There they found 3 more teenagers, with one of them claiming that he used to be an adult as well. Hal Breckenridge was happy to meet Conrad and Pedro and find out he wasn't the only one cursed with going through puberty a second time. The last 2 to join the group were Bob Newbie and Betty Simovitch.
Hal, Bob, and Betty
When they finally found their way to lunar lakes, Adam Birch took in all 6 teenagers.

Right before the newcomers arrived, a third couple had gotten together. Felicity Pendragon and Marshall King - both witches.
They have a daughter that they named Hollie.
Marshall also adopted a puppy named Cheech right before he married Felicity.
I love this couple so much. They are so cute together and they can't keep their hands off each other.
Hollie is now a child and I expect they will have another kid very soon.
Completely done with EA
The Hooleys got started right away at ensuring their bloodline continues. Their first born was a son that they named Dane.
Dane is now a child. He is brave like both of his parents, athletic like his mother, and a workaholic. I let them keep the traits the game gives them unless it is something I just can't stand to play with.
Marian is now pregnant again.
Completely done with EA
The Tiptons had their fifth and last child. I only let them have 5 because Theodore has the surrounded by family LTW. All other sims that do not have that LTW will have 4 kids at the most.
Tiffany Tipton
The game named her Lora, but I wanted this family to have all T names. So, Tiffany it is. She inherited her mother's beauty mark. The only one of their kids that did.
Completely done with EA
The next sims to have a child were Nicholas Lanister and Wisteria Larkspur. They haven't gotten married yet though.
They had a boy that they named Lester. Umm...no. Before I even saw the child, I decided that if he got his mother's hair his name would start with W; and if he inherited his father's hair his name would start with N.
Oh my
Well then. I guess we'll call you Neon.
I'm going to keep the Larkspur sisters in the same household. They can only have 2 kids each though. Violet Larkspur hasn't even had a flirt yet.
Completely done with EA
While I was with the Larkspur sisters Wisteria and Nicholas got engaged.
Sunny Shasta visited
When Violet met Sunny they had hearts. By the time I left them, Sunny was Violet's romantic interest. They're not going steady yet though.
If they get together, it will be a houseful of witches.

Meanwhile, back at the Hooley house, Marian and Robin had their second child - a daughter they named Charmaine.
Lola Pond came home from school with Dane.
Robin got promoted to level 10 in his career and is now a Master Thief.
Robin has become my favorite premade. Since he was halfway through adulthood at the start, I may have him eat some ambrosia. Just one time though.
I really like that the kids were named Dane and Charmaine. I could not have named them better myself if I tried.

Bethany Pond aged up to child. That poor child had to walk around like this for a day or two before I made it to the household to help her...
After a new hairstyle and clothes, she looks so much better. Her favorite color is lilac.
Not much time to spend with this family. Quick family photo and on to the next.

I spend at least 2 days with toddlers. That gives me enough time to get them walking, talking, potty trained, xylophone and peg box mastered and maybe a book or two. I run the game at half speed in order to get all that done in 2 days. Also, when a couple gets married they take the wife's name. For SS couples, they take the older one's name.
The Pendragons had their second child. A daughter they named Maribel.
I will be going back to them when I get in my game today. Then I will have to visit Susie Sackholme for a couple of days.

There has been a few age-ups. I didn't have time to visit with each of them, so I found them on the map and took them into CAS from there.

Hi! I'm Trent Sackholme.
My mom is Susie Sackholme
My dad is Adam Birch, but I don't have a picture of us together. He left my mom right before I was born. Mom said it was because she was born unlucky. I think she's pretty lucky though. After all, she had me and that's as lucky as winning the lottery.
We live with Uncle Mason
Uncle Mason loves me so much! He loves to tickle me - if he doesn't forget what he's doing. So many times I see him coming to play with me, but then he just stops and goes to do something else. I really love it when he remembers though!
Most of the time I just like to be left alone to do my own thing.

Isn't it weird how different a sim can look with just a new hairstyle and makeup?
Alexandra Winterfell before and after
I didn't have the new hairstyle when I made her and nothing really looked good on her. I've also not been able to use the new hair on any other sim. But it's like this sim and this hair were meant to go together. She is now one of my favorite sims when before she was one of my least favorite.
Anyway, I was visiting Alexandra because she married Jude Eldridge and they had a son named Jason.
Jason finished learning to walk, talk, and use the potty as well as mastering the xylophone and peg box and all 9 skill books and still had 5 days left as toddler. So, he did all that in 2 days. (I love reading to toddlers at the library now!)
Jude had a LTW to be a singer, so I had him quit the job he had at the diner and start working on that.
Alexandra's LTW is to raise 5 kids. That shouldn't be too hard.
And I can't forget their little kitten, Felix.

Thank you! @Puddinroy That's pretty cool. I actually didn't even think of the name until I took him in CAS. I think it fits him though.

A couple of age-ups yesterday.
Trent Sackholme
and Jason Winterfell
Now there are no more babies or toddlers or pregnant sims in town. I lowered the teen lifespan from 170 days to 151 days. I'm ready for some of the teens to start aging up because the school is getting rather crowded.
Completely done with EA
With no toddlers to help out, I went back to the Zees. I will stay with them until Xenon ages up to teen. That will be in 5 sim days.
I don't want Xandria to have any more kids, so I disabled the try for baby and woohoo options for her. I also didn't want her getting together with anyone else. But when I got there I discovered she had a boyfriend AND a romantic interest. Not to mention Zasarn's ghost still hanging around the house. So as soon as the kids when to school I sent her to end both relationships. Broke up with her boyfriend (Benjamin Acorn) and asked to just be friends with the romantic interest (Nevada Spruce) and was back home before the kids got out of school. After that I set it so that she cannot have romantic interactions. But now all she can do is make silly faces at Zasarn.
When she got home I had her get rid of the glowing red sink because it was annoying me.
Since she is home all day by herself, she's had time to do things that needed doing. Like upgrade the plumbing
learn some new spells
and work on making ice sculptures so she can eventually have some that won't melt. Although in this weather I don't think melting will be a problem, but she might freeze in those clothes.
Xandria made some firecracker shrimp. I love watching their reactions when they eat spicy foods.
The girls went to their first prom.
Zoe had a wish to kiss Amelia Autumn, so I sent her to ask Amelia to the prom. Xenia had been flirting with Morrigan O'Reilly, so she asked Morrigan to go with her. As everyone else got into the limo, Xenia decided to take her space car instead.
They had a great time and were exhausted but happy when they got home. Xenia didn't have any space rocks in her inventory so she had to restore her energy another way.
I spent some time decorating their house. Still not done, but there's progress.
living room
Xandria's room
Xiland's room
Xenon's room
I'm going to try to play long enough today to age Xenon to teen.
Also, since it's Friday night in the game, I'm going to edit the town and add another school. Then I'll make one for kids and one for teens. Hopefully it will help with overcrowding and sims can start having babies again.

Zee household part 2
Since it was the weekend, Zoe went on a date with Amelia
Then Xandria taught her how to drive
Xandria has really been getting into her sculpting
Not too much longer and Zippy will be an adult cat
I added a greenhouse and had Xandria upgrade the sprinklers. I think I'll have her start a community garden since she has perfect plants.
Time for Xenon to age up
Eek! No.
Much better
Xandria cried when her baby boy aged up. They grow up so fast!
I think next I'm going to go see the married couples that haven't had any babies yet.

Before
After
Not long after I fixed it where they can have babies, I got a notice about another (unmarried) couple that has an unexpected pregnancy. The next day I moved the unexpected parents in together and started building a house for them. I'm going to build houses for all the families. I was originally just going to renovate the EA builds. But those premade house are so bad that I'd just rather tear them down.
Anyway, the other couple is Arya Stark and Benjamin Acorn.
Benjamin's LTW is to master guitar, bass, drums, and piano. He was already to level 9 on guitar and he wanted to play for tips at the park. I first sent him to the park with the tree of prosperity. He stayed for awhile hoping more sims would show up. No one did. But before I sent him to the park with the winter festival, I had him try the fruit on the tree of prosperity.
"Consume the fruit of the Mother"
Or something like that
"Give of yourself to the Mother"
And then on to the festival where there were lots of sims. Benjamin made over 200 simoleons in tips.
