Only reason why I remember the karaoke household is cause Akira is there and he makes cute babies. You’re right tho, these sims look like those premade sims you get in CAS when you start a new save.

I often forgot Spencer-Kim-Lewis exist.

I remember Gavin because he was the first sim to give one of my sims crabs after I installed Wonderful Whims 😅

If Tina Tinker has a wife and child why does she spend 95% of her life time standing at my front door? I was convinced she's a loner 😂

I only have base game and I will 100% back you up on the Roomies being forgettable. I have over 30 save files and I have never interacted with Gavin Richards. 😅

So many sims I encounter in a save I'm like "oh, you're a neat-looking townie" and then they show up in a different save and I feel silly

I don’t recognize most of the Sims you called recognizable, but know all of the ones you mentioned as forgettable 😅 The BFFs are icons, they’re always there to meet me when I play in their world. I recognize the Free Spirits household because I had to break them up when my Sim found out the one with dark hair wasn’t single 🤣 and Cecilia was my first wife in Cottage Living because she’s just so pretty for a premade Sim, I love her

ok bc why is the roomies' house SO ugly

Fun fact about Ulrike and how forgettable she is, she has the same three traits as Holly Alto from Get Famous. Creative, Perfectionist and Art lover. That's how blend she is, everything about her revolves around painting, I once had a legacy founder marry her so I at least got some money. I always try to give more variety in the townies I interact with in each save so I did encounter some of the other families you mentioned. It's kinda sad but for me the most forgettable townies (based on my gameplay) were pretty much everyone from Tomarang. I don't know how to explain, but because of the residential rentals, the game generates random townie families (single mom with teen and a child) and most of them look way more pretty and interesting than the official ones. So my sims always end up interacting with the random ones instead of the official families. I remember after finishing a tomarang savefile and loving playing on the world and the community that my sims formed and going to a tierlist of all townies and bring like "Who are this people???" Probably the only one I interacted with was Cam Sadya but only cause I was needing a extra kid for a friend group.

Try this. Go into CAS and swap their gender. I do this with Mila Munch and Penny Pizzaz in all my saves. They might become more memorable if you remake them.

As someone who only plays with the pre-made households this list is crazy to me, but only because of the storylines they had in my save file! J Huntington III (Roomies) had a friends with benefits situation with Zoe Patel (Roomies) until he meets Dina Caliente and accidentally got her pregnant. They got married and cheated on each other throughout most of their marriage. Zoe got married to Johnny Zest and they have twin girls, something that brought Johnny closer to his family (The Landgraabs), after he became a successful comedian. Mitchell is an asexual gay sim in my game and Gavin got married to Nina Caliente, who lied to him about her daughter being Gavin's child instead of Don Lothario's. Maaike and Ulrike got engaged in my save, but Ulrike ended up cheating on her with Candy Behr and left Maaike at the altar for Candy. That was crazy! Akira and Miko were also friends with benefits, also resulting in an accidental pregnancy and got married because of their daughter. Darling transitioned (ftm) and became Devin. Cecilia Kang (New Start) had an affair with Thomas Watson from Cottage Living and they had a son, but Thomas refused to claim him as his child, because of his marriage to Rahmi. Rahmi eventually found out though, resulting in a divorce, her moving out and taking the kids with her. Thomas asked Cecilia to move in afterwards because the man cannot do household chores on his own lmao The Electic Arts household happily lived in a polyamorous relationship, Christie (Jess' daughter) moved out as a teenager, because she couldn't handle her parents' secrets anymore, and I went full rags to riches. Kaori got pregnant as a teenager by Kiyoshi Ito, Shigeru kicked her out and both Sachiko and Shigeru died before they ever made peace with Kaori and met their grandchildren. With the Elderberry's Rohan went to university, lived in the dorms, and fell in love with a man, despite having a long-term girlfriend he met as a teen and thinking he was straight. When he came back and told Ekram and Eleanore Ekram and him got in a huge fight and Ekram died of rage. Rohan and his boyfriend moved in to support Eleanore and they all lived a happy life together. Insane storylines, I'm well aware! But it was so fun and gave them all so much personality

I forget the Jangs honestly. I've never seen them in game and the only reason I know Baako is because I'm obsessed with SimsTube.

I've actually interacted with more of these premades after giving them a refresh and adding some depth to them. Ive placed majority of sims in clubs so i always see them around. For example, i have a woohoo club with don lothario, j huntington and other non commital sims. Or a gardening club with some of the elderly sims. I even have a solving strangerville club with dylan sigworth, erwin pieres and the eclectic arts household and their hangout spot is at the local library.

Jay isn’t the first canonical non-binary character. Morgyn from realm of magic was confirmed as NB before being NB was even an option in the sims

The only reason that I think Christy Sigworth is memorable is because her face ages up to be super distinct and getting rid of her genetics in impossible.

for me the most forgettable households are the ones in sulani

the only reason I care about the karaoke legends is because I always confuse Darling with a boy whenever she appears in community lots

I really appreciate those footage that you recorded for the commentary, it’s really add quite a lot to the video!

Whrn you said the roomies household, I was going to objrct thrn realised i was thinking of the BBF house instead. Though I do always remember onr of them looks like JonTron.

This was awesome! Half these sims I really had no idea existed lol. Honestly the ONLY reason I remember Koari is bc she’s always getting in the way of my relationship with Kiyoshi lol

Whoa. I thought this video was like from a year ago from a channel with a few thousand subscribers. Keep this up! You’re going to pop off soon

icl after getting into the sims 2 HEAVILY i haven’t found myself getting attached to any of the sims in the sims 4. even when i used to play often i would always make sims instead of using the pre-made townies. in the sims 2 i literally never make sims haha

surprised you didnt mention the fyres household when you were talking about the most recognizeable familys from get together. i love morgan and siobhan. siobhan is like the regina george of the sims universe

i agree with this list aside from the karaoke legends. akiro is a dealer in my save file 😭 i used to have miko as my sims best friend when the pack was new and darling is like one of the only teens in this game so she’s invited to all the teen functions lol

I did not know that the karaoke legends weren’t related, I thought they were like siblings 😂

come on! the karaoke household has A K I R A. ✨ the man ✨

I only remember Miku from Karaoke Legends, and that’s mainly because after I married her she became an abusive child neglector

I was convinced the robles-ruano family was from high school years, they're so forgettable that I thought they were from a different pack

Kaori Nishidake is from SSX Tricky! She's an EA reference :D (She might be in other SSX games but I remember Tricky most).

I only know the tinker household because of the child, she‘s friends with a child from one of my households and constantly comes over

I absolutely loved this video, I have memorised every single townie from Sims 4 worlds and I'm happy that someone is making content with them :D I definetely stay here for longer! You've got a new subscriber ^^

After seeing so many horrifying townies I just appreciate the household units because at least they are coherent lol

There’s probably many of these sims that I’ve evicted to make way for my own characters without giving them a second thought. But, one of my sims recently went to uni twice and kept bumping into Eleanor Elderberry. I think she was a professor or student and part of one of my characters’ societies. And ‘cause she a pretty lady with pretty hair and has such a strong name, of course he befriended her. She might’ve even been his BFF at uni. She seemed to just be everywhere. Every social night at the pub. Every society gathering (though, not the secret society). But, pretty much nowhere outside of uni. And she stuck around for two whole degrees! Had no idea she had a husband or grandson, though

I had a sim marry Rohan Elderberry once. I genuinely thought he was a randomly made sim for the longest time and I didn’t even know he had grandparents until I watched this video 💀💀💀

Y all remember Ned Whalen exist from ads The Sims 4 2014 or 2015 ?

I can never forget about Akira. He's too beautiful

I agreed with most of them. But all 3 Nishidake's especially Kaori are everywhere in my game's (I dont play with lifespans) and Elenore Elderberry always ends up as a food stall vendor in all my games. The families i do forget about: The Rasoya's I forget about both fairly easily. The wolf family in Moonwood Mill (The Volkovs i think?) Always moves out of their home. The Hoapilis: The younger adult one easily fades into the background. And the elder is more likely spotted in San Myshuno than Sulani Bess Sterling's (husband, boyfriend, Roommate or whatever) specifically: I swear neither of them leave their home and the only reason I know Bess is because she constantly calls for donations.

Karaoke Legends and Nishidake family are icons in my saves. Karaoke Legends bc my grown sims always end up either with Akira or Miko (and I love the drama that ensues from it since they do have crushes on each other) and Kaori Nishidake is either always the best friend or girlfriend of my teen sims (and I also love the drama bc she has a crush on Kiyoshi Ito, who also usually ends up as the boyfriend of my teen sims). Besides that, yes, everyone else is pretty forgettable.

One way I made some of these guys a bit more memorable was to give them a rewrite and to go into CAS and change up a lot if need be. For example, with Free Spirits, it was as simple as giving Maaike a sub-plot about a potential romance with the eldest Munch son (can't remember dudes name). Ulrikke on the other hand ends up in a club run by the youngest Villareal. While she simply humored the kid at first, she has become the unofficial baby sitter as these two teens and child are getting into trouble. Especially with the local vampires. In the case of Roomies? It was a bit more drastic. I separated the household and turned them all into teens. I then gave them parents (and siblings if I found it appropriate). I then wrote story lines for each one, using Sims 3 story telling as inspiration. This comment is already long enough so I won't go into detail but I hope this gives some people ideas on how to make them better. Assuming they don't outright delete them from the game that is.

alice, rohan, kaori, and travis scott have married one of my sims kids lol

I often date Miko, so I will never forget her.

Might be a small detail, but i notice that the base game tends to have more exaggurated and conveintionally attractive faces compared to the sims in the expansion packs; infact the expansion pack sims look more like regular people lol. I think Jay is the best example of an attractive, yet exaggerated face. tbh a lot of male sims look a little off.

Only reason I know all these is cause of the countless hours I’ve spend redesigning every single household lol.

Rohan Elderberry had a handful of children in my game, but his mean son Jason fathered two evil sons. The Elderberrys are bad news!

"Also, their house is ugly"😂

I once revamped the Roomies household and actively only played with them. I got Zoe married to Johnny Zest lol. But yeah, usually they are quite forgettable.

Karaoke legends is the only city living household I remember specifically all the household, most of the others I only remember one of them and Akira is usually the sim I choose my sim to marry (or brent or brant, cause of the drama). And I hate the automatic fashion the other kid from that household

Had no clue so many of these sims outside of BG existed much less had families until a youtuber I watched interacted with them. Some of them I had no clue which packs they were from until this video.

Holy moly, no lies told

Everyone forgets the Lassiters even exist. And when I make a new game in S4, they don't exist there either. They have been completely removed from time and history... but they're the household I main

Cecilia Kang is memorable to me because she's one of the few non-randomly generated townie NPCs that are single. Yeah she's dating the creature guy but he's even more forgettable. Last time I played my Sim dated her briefly, got her pregnant with twins, then autonomously cheated on her in front of her.

I was kinda surprised to see Karaoke Legends but I think I remember them just because I used to play in the apartment next to theirs a lot and I saw their Welcome Wagon a ton of times Miko's haircut helps a little ngl

I loved playing with the Eclectic Arts household! Leslie and Mark married had a child, so did Alice and that Erwin guy, and the two children ended up together too xD

just discovered ur channel im watching every video now

To be fair about Rohan, he’s usually easily found a the high school, and he’s great for if I’m trying to pair up my teen sims.

I remember the Nishidake and Elderberry household often bc I always pair the teens together in my games. It makes sense to me they’d at the very least be friends since they’re the only teens being raised by their grandparents

Not once have i ever interacted with Mark or Leslie

Agree with most, but I love the Sigworth household. Dylan and Christie balance nutty, possessed Jess! Give them another chance!

I always make both Tina and Yasmin mothers of Olive. Same goes with the Greenburg family.

I agree on most of these and I'm treating this as a suggestion list for Sims to play with in my saves. The one exception would be the Karaoke family who always seem to turn up in my saves, particularly Darling, who has different genders across my games. Also, with Strangetown, I tend to bring in the Sims 2 Strangetown families from the gallery, so haven't paid much attention to the ones that come with the pack. The exception would probably be the guy who lives in the plane (Cavill?) The thing with elders is a good reason to turn off auto-aging non-played houses. I know it's less realistic, but then you can get to know these pre-made Sims and even play them at some later date as they were meant to be. Hey, I'm an OG Sims player who is used to my Sims either not aging or being frozen in time when I'm not playing them!

NGL, I did not recognize Sachiko in the thumbnail at all. I thought she was a townie. 😂 You are so right. She and Shigeru died in my save before I got a chance to play them. Poor Kaori was all alone.

I have married Gavin and Akira before but only because they randomly walk by my house.

I remember every single townie (with houses) until Growing Together, then I stopped paying attention a little.

I literally stole Rohan and have been using there family as a supernatural story line along with Becca Clarke 8:50

bruh I had discover university for a good while and I have never seen the elderberry family in any of my saves, I didn't even know they existed 💀💀 but tbf, ig i haven't played the pack much... or at all-

Akira had all my sims babies

I only remember the free spirits household bc one of them died when i first bought get together and it was like the first time i saw neighborhood stories lol

Wasn't the first nonbinary Sim Morgyn from Realm of Magic? I could totally be wrong, so feel free to correct me. Amazing video, though!

I've been playing the Sims 4 for years and I don't think I've ever even seen a single member of the Roomies household out and about 😅 I honestly forgot they existed

Who's the most forgettable? Well, I'll tell you one thing, I have a long list of pre-made sims I hate; for one reason or another. There are two kinds of sims I hate: 1. The kind I wish bad things for. I play out them failing at life. 2. The kind I hate so much that I kill them with violent mods every time I start a new save file.

All of them.

1:14 Don't disrespect Mitchell it's the bro

I didn’t know that was the Scott’s story! In my games, Simon is just the sim my sims always ended up hooking up with (sorry Sarah)

I delete all premade sims every game pack so all characters can be brand new and not tied to a story 😅

when i redo my worlds and townies before i play, i usually delete the roomies because i hate the fact that theyre a reference and not a real household lol

its so hilarious that we know all these people's full government names this comment section just feels like scrolling through nextdoor

It’s funny you say the Munch family iconic cause to me they’re are 100 in the “who?????” Category

karaoke legends are kinda iconic to me, because I love miko ojo and i headcanon darling as trans which made him stick out to me

4:50 what about that teenage from highschool years? I am pretty sure their pre-set pronouces are "they/them"

I personally think that any household that came after Discover University is very forgettable (with a few exceptions). A lot of times before sims looked intentional (probably because quite a few of them were in the franchise for a long time), but the new packs seems like they just pressed ‘randomize’ button few times and then added the clothes from the new pack. I literally could not name any of the people from San Sequoia, Tomarang or even Copperdale, I have no idea who lives there

Ikr! Also in many of my saves Jay Robles dies instantly so how can I remember that family... xD But I remember Miko Ojo because I like her a lot.

I love the girl sim with the short blonde hair from strangerville. I had my sim marry her but they had to divorce due to her very frequent possession that would happen every other hour 😭🙄

I only know about Tina's family because my sim got her to break up with her wife and olive comes over to see her now and again.

the most forgettable household is definitely Gupold family

I never forget about the roomies because all my sims romance Zoe

New Girl 😭😭

I know you clearly stated that this is just your subjective list, and I am totally on board with hearing your opinion, but I really wanna put my subjective experience with each household you mention as I watch: Roomies - These guys, especially Mitchell, show up all the time when I play, though I'm almost certain it's because I really like the Parch Prospect neighborhood due to my obsession with Mid-Century Modern houses. I especially like renovating the premade houses Raffia Quinta and Springscape, so very often my sims will meet them all right away thanks to the Welcome Wagon. I also often actively seek out Mitchell to date because I think he's cute. That said, I 100% agree their house is unsalvageable levels of ugly. Free Spirits - The only reason this family is lodged in my memory is because when I first got the sims 4 it was the xbox version and I used Ulrike to cheese the legacy and alphabet legacy achievements through a series of adoptions, manual aging, and sending sims out in the snow naked to make room for the "next generation. I can't remember what I did with Maaike during that, but her name always reminds me of M'aiq the liar from Elder Scrolls. Karaoke Legends - I can't escape Akira, it seems like he's always everywhere I go, but he has good fashion sense imo so it's not too bad. Darling Walsh is my beloved non-binary child, they just fill me with a paternal affection even though I've never actually played out that of plotline, come to think about it I probably should. I can never remember Anime Beret's name, like I recognize her because she's got a distinct look, and it is a good look, but I just don't care. It's like there's some sort of perception filter around her. New Start - I like stealing Celia's house, and that's all I have to say about that. Well, I thought it's all I had to say until I continued the video and you informed me her name is actually Cecilia, so I guess we're on the same page with this one. Maybe I should pause after you've said your piece lol Robles-Ruano - No difference of opinion here, I never think about them. I didn't even know Jay was non-binary, I don't think I've ever even interacted with them. Tinker - I know them because they are lesbians, I also couldn't name anyone in this house but Tina though so I have to agree they are forgettable beyond being lesbians. I didn't even consider the possibility that the kid was a step-child, I think I just automatically assumed she was Tina and her wife's biological daughter because the sims lets you do that sort of thing and I do it all the time. Eclectic Arts - I only know Leslie by virtue of her being infected and often showing up with the Strangerville Welcome Wagon, I couldn't have even told you her name before watching this video. I didn't even realize she was in this household and assumed she was a townie. Sigworth - Dylan is my middle name and I have had Christie and Alexander Goth start dating in their teens many times so those two are firmly in the memorable category for me. Jess is definitely way more prominent though, really hard to disagree there. Nishidake - No notes here, I straight up didn't know Shigeru and Sachiko existed. Elderberry - These grandparents got the full brunt of Lilith Pleasant's switch to the Public Enemy aspiration in one of my playthroughs by vitue of living next-door to her. She stole half their house and fought Ekram and Eleanore countless times. I tried forcing them into a woohoo club with her to try and make them enemies with benefits and woohoo them to death, but they hated her so much they immediately kicked her out of the club. This was fun :)

gladys morse

THE SIMS HAVE LORE?!

The only Roomie member that goes anywhere is Zoe bleh.

also there was a canon nonbinary sim??!?!! and i'm just NOW finding out????? 😭

Support from my channel, great video and topic! 🤍🤍🤗

Grest video but im prett sure that the " first non-binary character " thing is wrong. Morgyn Ember from Realm Of Magic was said to be made to be non-binary/genderfluid by the devs and had their pronouns changed to they/them as soon as the update for it came out

Why do I really love Maaike Haas? ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

The Kealoha family are mostly forgettable outside of Makota. He appears on the island living cover art and is one of those sims players get the hots for but the rest of the family just blends into the woodwork. I didn't even know till fairly recently but Duane isnt actually related to anyone in that house.
