    7-8: Nothing wrong with having a huge family?!
    I looooove big families. I split them up when I feel overwhelmed but always end up with a full house again 😅
    Zombies, oh please oh please give us zombies!! :'(

    It differs. I really don't mind the size of my households. Right now, most of them range from one to five sims, but if it's more than that, I let them freerange more often.

    Three and above and the micromanager in me wails.

    1-2, I'm not into family gameplay, I like small households so I can focus on each sim. I never really play with more than 2 adults but occasionally I'll have toddlers aswell. Atm I'm really into big houses with tons of roommates so the house feels more alive even though I only control a couple sims.

    3-4 because if I have more that 4 sims in a household my sims don't get out of their house, I don't know how to manage their individuals lives

    I'll begin with a couple, add a baby, then when baby becomes an adult, marry them and start all over again.

    5-6: Whoa we are getting up there!
    Anywhere from 5-8, but 5-6 is most common. My Sims always have tons of kids. I just really really like seeing how the genetics pan out, so I need to have lots of kids. It makes life complicated though because then all those kids get married and have their own kids and then half the save is related 😅 so then I go to CAS and make some new families to mingle in and THEY have a bunch of kids...keeps life interesting lol

    I play with 3 to 5, and recently I kicked out my servo because she was getting too annoying, too much micromanagement (can't eat together and so on, have to do her own special stuff).

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who let go of servo. Didn't kick them out but I maybe kind of sorta let them destroy by not fixing them B)

    I used to just keep it to one child, now I’m learning it’s more fun with more kids, the interactions become more realistic and the parenting pack is put to use.

    But I start with a single sim, and marry them to expand family.

    Anywhere between 3-8 is normal for my game, but I’d say about 5 is average for me.

    I usually start with just one Sim, but households end up being all different sizes in the end.

    I usually start with 4-5 but it always balloons out to 8 eventually.

    I usually like to have 1 or 2 pets though but I counted them in since they take up a space.

    I've never played with more than 6 in TS4. Any more than 4 becomes problematic. The Pause button is my best friend.

    Only one. I don't have the patience to have two or more in a household. :)

    I voted 3 - 4 however since sims 4 I am more often playing just 1 or 2 - it appears sims 4 is more about the single or couple sim, despite parenthood,
    I have played larger households, but then feel I dont have enough time with each to flesh out thier charater or skills.

    Most of my playing households usually begins with a single lady or a single man or a couple.
    My unplayed households are from three to eight.

    I get bored with less than 8 sims :D

    That's what my sister says...I think she's crazy, lol.

    I can't handle more than 5-6 but that is a struggle. Nice little family with 1-2 kids is fine with me. :)

    In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

    Right?! It's so fun! I think TS4 is very well-suited to CAS, so a lot of what I've been doing lately has been genetics and CAS challenges. I just made a couple with 6 toddlers because they were all too cute and I couldn't bear to delete any of them 😭 it's going to be a stressful save to play haha

    This is in ts3 but I play with mods that let me have more than eight sims in a household. So far the most i've played with at a time was 16.
    Have a super fantastic awesome splendid amazing day! -TheQxxn

    It varies, usually I go for 2, 3 or 4 sims. I recently played a single sim but usually they have some company in their household.

    I love playing as a single sim for a while - legacy starter home, maxing skills, trying new things in the game that I’ve never done. Usually with aging off until they meet a partner. Then I turn aging on and they have two or three kids. I’ve never played until my founder sims are elders.
