Does this bother you as much as it does me?
MistyBlue:
I can only have 1 or 2 romance sims in a hood. Any more than that and everybody is up in arms about who he or she slept with. I do agree that romance sims can make great spouses, but sometimes, they never get over wanting to make out with other people they have high relationships with. I usually let them do their hearts desire (which is whatever they want autonomously) and if their LTW is too hard for me to fulfill, tough. Not everyone can be perfect and that's how I like my game.
Zazazu:
There is no Romance, there is only Grilled Cheese Zombification. With a chance to reroll to an acceptable aspiration if it's the start of a new 'hood.

I never was a fan of Romance Sims, but I've found that playing single Romance Sims can be entertaining. Don Lothario in one of my Pleasantviews is still a Romance Sim, but he's pretty much "settled down" (resigned himself to?) to family life with Nina and their kid--he's rolling straightforward wants to Woohoo in Bed/Hot Tub with no one in particular and to work out on the exercise machine. He's fairly happy aspiration-wise.
Pleasure Sims are the bane of my existence. I can never seem to keep them satisfied because their wants are annoying and have low point values; I don't like making Sims go on dates for the sole purpose of fulfilling a regular want or a LTW because for me, dates are for falling in love and rolling engagement/marriage wants.
Romance/Fortune Sims seem to be excellent parents, oddly, like some of you mentioned. My Family Sims are more concerned with the creation of babies than the actual care/feeding :P.

I used to play romance sims pretty exclusively for the longest time until the whore bit finally got to me. I still have a soft spot for them.
I play alot of pleasure sims now. They're as close to my aspiration in the sims as I can get. I like to think of them as having a kind of ADHD and being prone to enjoying simple pleasures. :p
I tend to only play family sims when i need to set up a breeder. Their set up annoys me as well. They should be rolling more wants to interact with their children not be concerned with the quantity or the quality (straight As, private school) what have you.
The private school want seems more fit for the fortune sims because its a kind of prestige want. It reflects well on them to have children who do well.
I rarely play knowledge but I adore them. Its like they court danger all for the great quest for knowledge. It just amuses me to see "curiosity killed the cat" in action. I can't help but think of a scientist over an experiment who is completely non-pulsed when it explodes in his face then bends down to repeat it t find out what he did.
BastDawn:
I make a lot of temporary families for my testing neighborhoods (hoods dedicated to building and testing out new lots), and my favorite was a married Romance couple. I made them both generic Aquarians and dropped them on the lot; they immediately started autonomously kissing, pillowfighting, making out, and generally chasing each other all over the lot giggling. They were a lot of fun. :)
