Is there a way to start a new game without creating a sim?

I've tried and searched but can't figure out how to start a new game without creating a new sim first. I want to start a new game and play with one of the pre-existing households.

make a random throw away sim
Go ahead and put them on an empty lot
Go to Options Menu, manage world. Merge your new sim with the premade house you want to play
Go to that house, then do manage world again then click on the lot select More then manage household.
Click on the household picture, the the edit icon. This takes you into cas
Click on the throw away sim, hover over the thumbnail pic and you get the option to delete the sim.
Click the play button and close the manage world windows, then play your family
There has to be an easier way, but if there is I havnt come across it yet
Hope it helps ;)
Then I fixed everything in the hoods to my liking and added some houses I built and got the hoods the way I like them. I built a pool at one of the parks and added a telescope etc.
Then I saved the game as "game one" then again as "game two" and so one. I never played the saved "game one". It is my model.
Now every time I want to start a new game I already have the town the way I want it and just load a save. Or I load saved "game one" and save as "My Legacy One" or whatever I want to name it. Then exit back to the main menu and choose load game and it's a fresh copy ready to play without going to CAS first.
Don't have to edit the town. It's always ready!
To actually answer your question simply - NO

I agree, maybe it will happen on V-day or with the expansion pack
Oh wow....what a great idea! I'm going to do this. Thanks for sharing!
@AnnLee87 That is a great idea to have a starter game. It takes me forever to set up my games before I start a new one. Thanks for the suggestion!
It's not. The devs talked about coding it in but they never got around to adding this feature....
So many thank you’s if you do take the time xxxxxx

Almost 7 years later and this is still a desired request from many players .... but the answer is No, you can not just immediately jump into the neighborhood to start building.
But a work around is to create a sim and place them in a different world and save it as your "start up" file, then when you load that save, it will load to that world but you can easily just pick the desired world to build in without a sim being required.
Make one Sim and then move in at a vacant lot and immediately pause the game.
Go to Manage Worlds, choose the lot with your new Sim, then click on the dots and choose Manage Household. Delete the household.
Save your game. Return to the Main Menu.
Go to the Load Game screen, choose the save you just made, and rename it with something suitable, such as New Game Template.
You can now load that save whenever you want to start a new game without creating a Sim. I would recommend using Save As immediately after loading it, so you don't accidentally overwrite your base save after making changes. You should have all the default houses, Sims, and community lots. It might even still be 8 a.m. if you were quick enough pausing the game.
