In TS3 I only used to have 1-2 children per household as I found raising toddlers and kids such a chore. In TS2 my household would normally be full but it was hard work. In my current game I only intended my founder to have 2 children, however in her second pregnancy she had twins, so she had 3 children. All of the children are now grown up and I'm rotating between their households. In the sons household there are currently 2 children with one on the way and they may even have another yet, I just love raising kids in TS4 so much! I don't know why, but I find it enjoyable even with the lack of group activities. Back at the founders house, one of the twins has just had a baby and no doubt there will be more when they move out. The other twin will also have children but not sure how many yet. I am loving big families at the minute, and I love the friendly relationships between the cousins.
What about you guys? How big are your families? Currently in my game there are 3 children, 3 grandchildren with 1 on the way!

Haha no, don't be giving them ideas! Mine don't very often have whims to try for baby despite their successful lineage aspiration, but maybe it shows up for the happy family aspiration? I just have them try for baby whenever I feel broody for another baby, although it's a pain when they aren't where I want them to be in their careers and I really want a baby but can't let them have one yet lol! When baby number 3 comes along for Onyx and Lily I am going to have to extend the house as there isn't enough space for a 3rd child once it ages up as the nursery isn't big enough to be a bedroom. I am looking forward to extending the house another level though
Ouch, I would be heartbroken if something happened to my current save! I really love this family, I love this more than any other family I've made, even my simself family.
I am especially fascinated with the genetics in the game, and passing them down the line. I can't wait to see when I get a few generations along, how many of my founder's features are still noticeable, if they get lost as the generations progress.

However, even though I dearly miss toddlers and definitely think they should be patched back in, I can't help but love the babies in Sims 4! I actually like seeing them in their cots crying their eyes out because I'm just like
mwhahahaha you little baby, I can keep you in there all day and it won't change the way you grow up anymore
So I tend to have the same amount of children actually, unless I have twins or triplets and then I only have them aha
I usually try to find someone around town for my sims. I will make a mate for them, but only if I can't find anyone who they really fit with. I like variety and randomness.

My founding father had his first girl with one sim who died unintentionally in a fire. (Left the game running forgetting to pause, when I came back she was dead and the fire was out)
So I had him re-marry a woman who already had 2 kids, has the twins with her, and had her cheat on him to spice things up abit!
I do love a dramatic household lol..
Yup I do this when I want a wealthy or successful family. Or if I plan to achieve certain aspirations/career goals ect.
But sometimes I like selecting randomers to marry. Its can be more fun

To answer the question more directly, I have two households in the rotation, with the aim that the eldest from each will marry and create the third household. So, each house is 8 Sims. (Again, there were more kids per household in reality, but we're stuck with 8 total. )

As you can see from this picture, it's kinda huge. Sadly doesn't list the spouses, but pretty much everyone has a spouse
