Really, this game is addictive - especially with cute Sims.
Well I've filled up the neighbourhood that I have my FF sims living in. There's a few households that aren't FF sims but the FF ones outnumber them.
I use the term "family" only in the loosest sense as these are the people I put together from the start. I wouldn't be surprised if I dumped some very unlikely people together since I know jack-all about FF8.
Going by House number:
(1) SeeD
This household has Edea and Seifer in it.
The house was a pre-existing one - one of the game-given houses. It's a big gothic kind of place. I had to make a few minor changes - extra lighting, a change of stove (to a microwave - I know from past playing that it's safest to give new sims a microwave because they'll set fire to the kitchen and themselves with a stove) and a few extra entertainments.
(2) Pleiades
This is one of my old sim bunnies - the Pleiades in Sims. The family has eight members (the max as far as I can tell) - one male, six adult females and one female child - all of them named after the Pleiades stars.
I have yet to build their house, that's fun, working out how to arrange eight beds.
(3) Hubbard
Another original bunny - Old Mother Hubbard. This is really a test at the moment, previous times I've tried it the game's crashed on me - I don't think it can handle seven children at once. As it is this version only has four kids in it in hopes it doesn't crash on me.
I was building a house for this one but just as I was saving the game crashed so I expect I will have to start over.

novastrike's references I went chasing down some more FF7 skins and got a few extras. I gained a couple of versions of Tifa and ended up reorganising a couple of families to fit her in - namely I remade the Gainsborough family so I could shift Barrett into sharing a house with Tifa and Marlene.
(5) Valentine
The only changes I made here were relatively minor, I got ahold of an AC skin for Cloud and traded his SOLDIER uniform for the outfit from AC. Zack may not have come to visit yet but I like the idea of them not wearing exactly the same thing.
I also grabbed an object - Squall's gunblade. It's a wall item - like a picture or a wall light but it feels apropriate having it hanging on his bedroom wall.
So far of all my sims the first friendship has been established within this household - Sephiroth and Squall get on pretty well.
(6) Adraan
Rather generic, this one is. One random-made man, one random-made woman.
(7) Garden
Irvine and Zell. They're in a premade house that I've furnished but I haven't played them yet. I have had Irvine come over to Seph, Cloud and Squall's house though.
(8) Turk
Elena, Reno, Rude and Rufus.
Okay, so Nova said the only Turk skins s/he'd found weren't very good but compared to a couple of the TIfa ones I got the ones I have aren't too bad (yeesh! I think whoever made the Tifa ones was trying too hard to get it looking like the original FF7 graphics!) - they look human at least. Reno's hair is too bright but until I can find a better one I can live with it.
And yeah, I know Rufus ain't a Turk but meh, where else would I put him?
I haven't gotten around to building them a house yet - there was a bit of real estate resorting to give larger families bigger blocks and all and I think the Turks ended up across the road from Seph, Cloud and Squall.
(9) Gainsborough
Okay, with the restructuring when I got Tifa I had to remake this family so it's down now to just Aeris and Zack.
I have yet to build them a new house - I knocked down the old one and they're on a different block now.
(10) Heartly
Riona, Quistis and Selphie.
I think they have a house (lovely memory I have) but I have yet to play them. Honestly, I get far more facinated with the Valentine house and never get around to some of the others.
