orangerfulSo, apparently the limit is 8 Sims per household. I had no idea. My one Sims had the "Wants to have 10 Babies!" want. That means you have to *ahem* alter her life span to make that happen. Unless she pops out twins at one point, she's not gonna be able to have that many before she hits old age.
Also, more than one toddler at a time is too much to handle! I think when I had my Sims family move houses (they went back to the family home because the Prefect family is loaded, 200,000+ Simoleons) it sped up her current pregnancy cuz she popped the baby out right on the doorstep, so they infants were only days apart. And trying to juggle two toddlers, two kids, and one teen was just too much for this household!
Then, Marvin dropped dead in the bathroom after his mother's ghost spooked him! AND he died right in the doorway so I couldn't get any of his relatives in there to plead for his life! But, Zaphod is an exorcist, so they had the magic phone that lets you call death. And since the family has tons of cash, I was able to get him back good as new. *phew* No fair though, I've never had the chance to get a Sim to beg for life before.
So, the moral is - 2 Sims is easy as pie, 7 Sims is a bit tricky, 7 sims of differing ages is INSANE! But more weird stuff can happen so it makes it a bit more fun. I think I'm going to make a HUGE family when I get the new game. Yes...just so I have at least one totally insane family. That or I'll just make two "family aspiration" Sims and watch them reproduce like bunnies! bwahhahahaha.
