    How many Sims do you generally play with in a household at the start?

    Simple question, which is: How many Sims do you start with in your typical Sims game (on average)?

    Are you somebody who begins with one Sim and then branches out into a legacy, or are you someone who makes an eight-person household and lets chaos ensue? Somewhere in the middle?

      I almost always start with one sim, and branch out from there. Occasionally I'll start with two, but that's very rare. I think the last time I started a save with a complete family was over 10 years ago in The Sims 1. ...Maybe I need to vary my play style. :D

      I usually start with 1-2 sims, and let the family grow, or I sometimes decide a sim shall be single forever (poor sim). But once there are more than 5 sims (pets not included) in the household, I tend to abandon, as it becomes so hard to enjoy the actually gameplay without stressing myself out...

      Always one. The last time I started off with a couple was back in TS3 before they came out with the zodiac signs, I forget what it was called. After that part was added, my couples I created together, ended up not liking each other very long.

      I'll answer my own question.

      I used to run quite the variety when I first bought the game (save glitch and all), which meant anywhere from 1 sim to 4-6 sims. Now, I either start with 1 or try using a 7 sim household that just causes chaos. I have an urge to micro-manage even though I probably shouldn't. It's probably because they path-finding and their choices on what to do is rather asinine without a push... or six-hundred.

      I start with one Sim and send them to University to find their other half. After I move them back to the base neighborhood and move the future spouse in, I start over again. I used to go back and try to complete the families but that was before I had to get a new laptop.

      I started with one sim girl and focused on building her traits full, exploring careers and unlocks, completing most aspirations, etc. until I finally got kinda bored and decided to hunt for man (who was an NPC) who would then father her 2 kids.

      Nowadays I just play random households and do their daily routine and build some skills for a couple days before switching to another household.

      I only started recently and had one Sim in the household, but I went up to 2 after a couple of hours once I was used to the controls.
