How to Torture Sims

Do ghosts persist between "saves"? Given that the new game seems to strongly discourage any interaction between player-made sim families, I wonder if even ghosts stay on a lot if I sacrifice them all and then move another CAS family in...
In what way does the game discourage interaction between CAS families? Much of the game's strength, IMO, comes from the fact that it is so much easier to interact with different families that I've created.

Really? I can't even see other family "saves" on the map... Maybe this is caused by tight pants issues. I will poke around.

Well, if you're giving each family its own save, then no, you won't see them. I just play families until I'm done/bored with them and then abandon them to their own devices elsewhere in the neighborhood. In my current game, I'm on Gen 2, who happily go and see their parents whenever I want to check to make sure they (the parents) haven't spawned any new offspring. They seem to be behaving themselves so far.

Famous last words. I said that when I left my first gen home, thinking that with one spawn there the second gen kids would be happy. A week later, I returned to find someone pregnant. The next week, there's a teen, a toddler, and yet another baby (who didn't even have a place to sleep).

Good luck with that. I left a couple of ghost sims resident at the Goth household, to prevent anyone moving in & spawning there (I may want to play the lot later). So Gunther's ghost went and married Lolita's ghost and had a ghost child while my back was turned.
In the meantime, Morty Goth's ghost (on another lot) has adopted 3 (non-ghost) spawn. I was waiting until the first one was past the baby/toddler stage before I was going to go back there to play the lot, since playing the "potty train/teach to talk/teach to walk" game is boring and so is the "bring the baby to the cake then put it on the floor so it can grow up then stomp everyone's queue to make them eat cake" dance, but then he goes and adopts a second baby before I realised that the first toddler was now a 6. Then he did it again while I was waiting for the second toddler to reach childhood.
