What I would do, since I always played TS2 on my old computer:  I would use The Summoner.  It summons all sims you'd made...townies, created sims in houses, NPCs, and Sim Bin sims.  I would just make potential mates, then when it's time for my sim to marry, summon them, build up the relationship, summon them again, and you know...until I can finally propose to them.

It makes good stories...it helps...making certain sims come whenever you want them to. That's how you don't have to wait for certain townies to walk by or see them on a community lot just to meet them so you can talk to them.

My new computer is much better.  My TS2 is almost like a seamless neighborhood it loads the game in less than a minute and about 15-20 seconds to load a community lot.  I usually don't mind going places to try to meet certain sims or too lazy to even go out my house anymore.  But I still use the summoner...it is useful for making great stories.
