My actual families were created, Prosperity-style, by rolling a die to determine the number of family members, their ages, genders, aspirations, and astrological signs. This resulted in some very odd families. My royal household consisted of a single male toddler, and there were no noble adults at all, and only one elder. Trying to come up with an explanation for these families led me to the story I'm using. Several families had an extra adult to start with, in addition to the required place-holder, because I wanted the children to have two parents in their family trees. All place-holders were immediately boolproped to death upon opening the lot for the first time.
I decided ahead of time that the royal household would have two live-in servants (a man and a woman) and noble households would have a single female servant. These sims were created directly to fill their roles, but aspiration and astrological signs were assigned by the die.
