It varies A LOT because I enjoy playing single sims as well as full households, but I generally start with 2-4 roommate (non-family) sims and juggle their plotlines and relationships for maximum drama (without having more sims than I can deal with at once)
I already play on long and have another mod that makes pregnancy a little more realistic in terms of percentage so I usually have 1 or 2 kids in a family, maybe three depending on how old the parents are they started.
It varies depending on which challenge I'm currently playing at the time. The majority of my saves start out with just one single Sim R2R style though. Sometimes they get married and have a child or two, but that's usually the limit. I haven't had C&D very long so most don't have a pet yet either. The biggest households I've had were and are for the Asylum, Wolf Pack, 100 Baby, Random Legacy, Apocalypse and 7 Toddler challenges.
One is what I play with most or one sim is the main sim, boss or the one I focus on the most. I've played all other size households also and still do for a change but go back to one most often. I can't say it's because they are single and ready to mingle though...
5-6 Sims (Life's getting busy! Better pay those bills on time!)
The 2 households I'm actively playing one is 8 sims and the other is a single sim so I'm all over the place lol. I usually start with one or two sims and have the family grow
2 Sims (Cute married couple...or maybe not so cute #drama)
I always start with just one Sim, but usually, they end up as a single parent (I had MCCC turn on Risky Woohoo and my sims seem to be really, really fertile). Or, they just get married to Don Lothario. I have a save right now with a noncommital, children hating, romantic, finished the serial romantic aspiration Mom who's engaged to him. She now has the soulmate aspiration, and they're getting married on New Year's Eve.
I usually play families with 2 kids, with one kid being the heir. Being an only child is such a weird concept for me, but I don't have need for the "extra" kids, so the heir will usually have one sibling.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Well right now i have mostly single households as I started a new save with Strangerville and I always started new saves with single households.
My long time games before this I have 2 Main saves and a half dozen experimental saves (LOL) where the average household has 4-6 sims. I always start with one Sim who either marries eventually and has a couple kids or one roommate who eventually moves in several of their good friends. But that save needs witches and University to continue - so I pulled that folder and started anew until hopefully we get those two packs it needs.
Right now I am mainly just in the single sim per house of the newest save folder - mainly centered around 5 Sims in Strangerville... with a few Sims in Get Famous world and another few Sims in the CL world.

This size of family is the norm for me as that's the size I grew up with. Anything larger seems chaotic to me. But for some people that's their jam.
I grew up as one of ten kids, so large families are natural for me. Haha.
Oh my word! I had enough of a hard time with my brother taking my Barbies and using them as war victims for his G I Joes, I cant imagine having that many siblings!
2 Sims (Cute married couple...or maybe not so cute #drama)
Mine is actually a mix.
I play a lot of single Sims (with pets), some couples, and some mixed families (2 - 5 Sims).

Yeah. It's crazy. But it's fun. I'm the oldest and grew up with my family just getting larger and larger. My youngest sibling is 4 and she will be an aunt in 8 months. My 18 year old sister is pregnant. It's crazy to me. She'll be turning 5 at about the time the baby is born. But, it's great. That's just the fun part of it.
I don't know that I'd want as many kids as my mom, but I think that I'd want at least 5 because that's what I'm used to.
Even in Sims I have a hard time playing without a couple of kids and a large family setting with grandparents and teenagers and adult children and everything. Haha. I like the excitement and want my game to be more exciting, not less, than my real life.
First generation: 3 sims (roommates). After that 2 of them got married, moved to their own home and got 1 child which made 3 sims again. Second generation: Their child moved out when he was a teen, moved in with eventually 6 other roommates, so 7 at the time. Then he moved out with his girlfriend, got married and they got 4 kids. They lived then with 6 sims again + a dog. Third generation: All kids moved out in pairs so 2 households of 2. Currently they all live on their own in: 2 sims, 3 sims, 1 sim and 2 sims. But they are about to expand as they are newly wed or in the making of a small family
2 Sims (Cute married couple...or maybe not so cute #drama)
Usually my households consist of two sims (boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife). My sims don't tend to have kids until slightly later in life - typically immediately before or after the "Adult" life stage transition, and they most often have just one child - if any at all.
5-6 Sims (Life's getting busy! Better pay those bills on time!)
I get bored just playing a single sim and sometimes the cute couple/little family gets a bit dull. I tend to like them busy. I'm most comfortable with 4-6, but sometimes I go all out and play 8 or use mods and play with overstuffed houses. The most I played under one roof was 16 sims plus 1 cat. I prefer to have things constantly happening but I wasn't really sure how to vote. My mood changes, sometimes I like it a little busy, sometimes I like action coming from all sides!
2 Sims (Cute married couple...or maybe not so cute #drama)
It's so hard to answer to this. I play rotationally and I have many families, I checked the ones that I am currently actively playing and maybe most of them have 2 or 3 sims, but quite many have just 1 too (one of these 1 sim families is my current favourite). Also none of my families have more than 5 sims. I probably couldn't play more than that in one family.
It's also hard to say which number of sims I prefer, because it really depends on my mood and the sims I'm playing. I said two, because I think the number is something between 1 and 3. I have had quite many single parents with one child, but I'm rather bored with that combination.
usually i like the 3-4 sim household. i feel that anything more is crazy and lowkey stresses me out haha. i also like to focus on each sim individually so i can make sure all their needs are good and everything i want them to achieve can be achieved! (although my current sim family is about 5 sims and a dog)
This is my average household. I do use mods and when playing my ancestral save, it's different. Can't help that they had lots and lots of babies way back in the 18th century. It is what it is.
My nerd sim is currently dating another nerd (after his previous girlfriend died from eating bad Pufferfish Nigiri). They're living in separate households, but they'll live together once they tie the knot :smile:
