I've always just played one family in past versions of the game but in the Sims 4 I'm finding playing the premades on a rotation so much fun. Rotating families keeps the game fresh and fun for me. I hope this kind of play will still be easily doable in the Sims 5 if and when it comes.

I miss the Sims 2 style world where you left your household and came back and they would still be doing whatever they were when you left. It made me feel like a god. Those were my puppets waiting for me. And it meant that I could go off and play a household for 100 days and the one I left would not be older, with all of this new/other stuff going on. Time was frozen and I liked that. Wish someone really smart and techie could create a mod for this.
Both so was confused how to vote haha. I have several saves where I play a single family and several saves where I play rotational. Right now I play the single family house more often as its 100 baby challenge and I am 95 babies in! But usually it's 50-50 which save style I pick.
I rotate, but most of the time I rotate saves not families within one save. Mostly because it irks me to go back and play a family after switching households only to discover that even though we have no story progression, I'll go back and find jobs changed, sims older/dead and or, relationships that are messed up because the game did...whatever it does in place of actual story progression.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
Can't answer, because your question and answer options don't match.
I rotate between households so that I can continue to progress my active family, who are multiple generations in multiple homes in the same save - only two, so far, but my younger second generation boys are all teens, now, and will be moving out some day. I'll keep them in the mix, too. They don't stop being related when they marry and have kids of their own. It's just a bigger family.
I rotate between roughly 50 households in one save, some of which are related, but most aren't. Not all of them get the same amount of attention, though, as I tend to just play in whatever household I feel like at a time for as long as I want, rather than sticking to a specific order.

Hmm... have you tried to use “ only age played households”? If you remove the “played”-tag from the households that you want to remain frozen they will not age.
There are a few different options, maybe there will be a combination that works for you.
I always play my legacy, but I might start playing rotationally, it sounds like it could be really fun. I'm definitely going to play with a new family when Realm of magic comes out. Magic wouldn't really fit my legacy family.

Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults
I like playing only one family. I have never understood how people can enjoy playing more than one,but, everyone has a a different play style.

I thought about that. But they also won't still be where I last left them. But its a okay compromise.

I prefer either this or that polls. To get an idea of which is more common
Yeah but sometimes I play massive, inevitably casually inbred families. But other times I play a ton of households in a mega save.
I understand. I just wanted a simple poll, I don't like "both" polls personally. It's meant for my own interest I guess
Of course, I haven't done any massive, multi-house storylines either...

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
