How many Sims are you playing?
AllenABQ:
I have about 35 playable sims at the moment. And these are spread amongst 10-12 families or so. I rarely get the NPCs to move in. Townies are a slightly different case because I custom make them as I see fit -- I don't like the fugly ones generated by the game. I actually also have a class on non-involved playable sims that I shove off into remote houses and never play but keep their ages updated to keep pace with the ones I do play. These sims pretty much act like townies, except many are related to my own sims and are just ones that I've found to be not terribly interesting to play. Keeping them like so allows me to get them re-involved should my story lines change.

In Pleasantview, I play the Brokes the most. I've never managed to get Brandi married...no one likes her! But I wanted her to have kids, so she's been adopting. She now has nine children (a few have grown up and moved out). Here's the clinker: they're ALL boys. I have tried like hell for her to adopt/birth a girl, to no avail. No one will sleep with her, and the damn adoption service just keeps sending boys...sigh.
What are you talking about?
Brandy is the most wanted female by Pleasantview males! I bought her a sexy outfit, changed her hair to red short haircut, and added a heavy makeup - and she is gorgeous! Daniel Pleasant fell in love with her at the first sight, lol. Darren wanted to flirt with her, and even Mortie...:). Not to mention the townies males...:).
She is Aries, and very compatible with Taurus - so I made a Taurus CAS male, named Bobi Newbie (to change her family name to her previous - she is a daughter of Betty and Bob Newbie). They are the most loving couple, and I get the woohoo clip only for them - the simulator is very fond of them.
I play in Pleasantview for third time, and always she is the most popular female there...:). You don't try to change her appereance - may be that's the reason you don't succeed with her. And, never marry her to one of the natives - always to a CAS sim.

I mainly play in Pleasantview and my Legacy Neighbourhood, Aridia (home of the Le Gasseys and the Trojans).
I tried last night to work out where I'm up to with all the families, but there is a lot of interbreeding (eg Don has children with Cassandra and Nina, Nina has a daughter by Komei Tellerman, Cassandra has children with Darren Dreamer... thankfully she's about to become an elder so has lost all the have a baby wants, Daniel has 4 boys with Kaylynn in addition to Angela and Lilith with Mary-Sue)
Brandi married a CAS sim, Matt Riffraff (who had two girls of his own, Kayla and Layla), and proceeded to have another 3 children with him, Bridget, Bart and Beatrice. Teen Bridget has just fallen for Hector Goth (Cass and Don's boy) so I working on catching her up agewise (I tend to send them off about half way through teendom) so they can go to college together.
Don's moved back home after breaking up with Cass and found a young lady named Allison Lothario living there, in an effort to give him back his previous family name.
Dina has two boys from Mortimer, Simon & Benjamin. Simon's falling for Theresa Townie, a CAS sim living downtown, while Benjamin got abducted by aliens (they're still teens)
The Oldies died while living with Mary-Sue. Very sad.
I've ignored the Burbs a bit, but hope to get back into them. Lucy's off at college and engaged to Beau Broke, and John and Jennifer have a second daughter Tiffani. John wants another baby but I think Jennifer would reach through the screen and kill me.

Lol, vecaroo - you have a big "mish-mash" there - do you remember who is who's?...:).
My Pleasantview sims are changed to be with knowledge aspiration - no cheating, and no "bustards"...:). They all are faithful; from time to time they wish to appreciate another sim, but no wish of flirt or such. You should see the "knowledge" Daniel Pleasant - got rid of Kaylyin, and fallen in mad love with Mary-Sue - doesn't want to look at other female...:). All his thoughts and wishes are about Mary-Sue, which is a quite "chick", with new clothes and appereance...:).

Current count is ~88, although it looks like I'm heading into a death-rich period, which will hopefully take care of most of the shipped-with-game sims left in the neighborhood. I play in 2-day stretches per house, with 2 uni semesters = 2 neighborhood days. 23 houses, four of which are dorms. I think the neighborhood's into gen 4 or so.
It's manageable right now, but as I've got 21 children right now I'm thinking I may have been a bit silly with my "to heck with population control, I like simspawn!" decision.
I keep index cards, flagged by age and paperclipped together by household. Helps keep track of vital statistics and play-order. It's nice to see that other people are obsessively keeping track of their sims too. Or maybe just worrying.
