So I usually see people posting about one specific household they have or one that they establish a legacy with and just keep going with that specific one. Either I'm not very observant or I'm a rare household hoarder, but are there any of you guys out there who actively play 3+ households? Is there a cap on how many you're willing to play at a time? Just curious!

In normal gameplay fifteen households make for a varied but not to stressful game, but I had as many as sixty households in Sims 2. That many households slow down the game to the point where it takes months to finish a rotation. When you play this way, the sims grow on you, almost like relatives. Individual sims still live about 90 days only, but because you play so many families and everyone is in everyone else's story, each sim is around for much longer. I'm not sure if I want to commit myself to that large rotations again anytime soon. Fifteen are enough.
As for how many to play, for me, it all depends on how invested in the individual households I am.

With each new iteration I've had to adapt a new way of doing things.
This one is challenging because of what I'm hearing about relationships and culling...so I'm cutting around all of that.
Newcrest was pretty much a sign that said *Insert your world here*
So the strategy is....play one house one save at a time..(on long lifespans)
until all memebers of the household have enough for the potion of youth.
Once this achieved they get archived to a save file ready to populate Newcrest.
In the end Newcrest will be my world, my creation, my Sims, and have the skills to either procreate and die of old age or live as long as they ( or I) would like.
Especially right now with my game acting up. Its doing this weird freeze thing where I can't interact with anything or switch characters and when I hit pause the timer keeps moving even though the sims are frozen in place... So I log out after only a few minutes to an hour of game play.
My Mood:
I'm weird like that where I want all my sims/households in one save, lol. Though now there's a few I haven't played much because I've focused on other households instead (rotational play) XD. I also play with aging off, and will only age up certain sims when I want to/feel like it XD. Though a lot of them I haven't aged up recently.
