in The Sims 2
My teen son has 5 friends but I can only have 4 in a group, anyone know how to have more in the group? Any mods/cheats. Thanks

May I ask what group do you mean? Do you mean the outing groups?
max 4 more once I add my sim in
Edit. I may be misremembering. I'll open my game to see if I run into the same problem.
Your group consists of 5 sims, so you should be able to add 3 more sims, but your game doesn't let you to... Perhaps try creating a new group and put the same sims into it. Try if that works.
Ok I'll give that a try. I remember being able to add in 8, si I'm very confused as to why its changed on my game. Thank you very much for going into your game 👍
A random question. If you throw a party, how many sims can you invite?
I am actually beginning to see a correlation here. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of sims that can visit a lot.
The only thing I can suggest is to use this cheat: Try it (set it to a large number) and see if it affects how many sims can you have in a group.
I will try that today, thanks
this is a result of modern hardware not being recognised by the game, it thinks you have a low end PC so it limits the amount of people you can invite. There is a permanent solution by editing the graphicsrules file, the same way that max resolutions are increased. Just have to find the right field and edit it (Back up the file before any changes!)
See my Sims 3 studio for latest progress.
This worked! Thank you
This is the best solution without having to use the cheat. Because if they don't do this the number of Sims that show up on lots in the main hoods will be reduced each time they load the game and or if they don't use the file for startup cheats to work without having to reenter them.
How do I edit this?
I cant help with finding the file itself, as other guides do that better (look up increasing Sims 2's resolution, there are plenty of guides out there) but once you find the graphicsrules file, you have to open it with notepad, and search for the max number of visitors line, and set all examples of it to 8 or higher. I go with 8, as its the EA default for a high end computer back then.
