Create exception for played Sims

I want to create an exception that will check if a sim is in a previously played household and then allow them to bypass the selection process.

I've tried looking in other files to learn from other, more talented Simmers, but I haven't been able to crack this one. I see most exceptions for age, npc or ensemble status, but never for previously played households.

Can it be done? Thanks for your time either way.
