The one thing MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, that I want to see in this game, is an option to enable "Extended Family Size". There is plenty of room on the right side of the toolbar to place another eight sims. I really don't like using mods, so MCCC is out. I have a family of 13 that I've been dying to play, but can't. Not in Sims 3, or 4 so far.
And while I'm on the subject, please add icons somewhere that represents NPC's like butlers. They tend to get lost in a generational home, and we have to manually find them. Clicking on one, like with pets, would be a godsend.
(Not a petition, just my thoughts, and a little begging.)
This game needs more Sailor Moon!

I would actually like to see more options for stories and films in The Sims
Having a butler or other NPC in a similar way as a pet would be useful as well. Even if it was a repair Sim.
The funny thing is in the old days rich families used to include their servants in family portraits. They where sometimes seen as... pets...
I suppose it might also have to do with ensuring best performance for all players, given machines with less processing power or RAM could struggle to have that much action happening all the time? It's quite weird if so, after all I don't recall people complaining about that matter regarding inviting larger amounts of Sims over to a lot.
I've always wanted something like this as well. A large family and a few pets. Would also be nice to have grandparents or their active ghosts there.
Taking a slot when you can't control pets is very constricting. I also don't know why they had to take it up when it lowers your family options.
I would also like the option to create larger clubs.
I believe the reason behind the 8 sim cap is because we constantly get more lots. For every new lot, thats a potential for 8 new sims to add into the game. We currently have more than 100 lots in the game throughout all the packs, that makes for a potential 800 plus sims in one save file. If they were to raise the cap by even 2 more sims, thats for a potential 1000 plus sims with the same number of lots. Raising the max sim cap would require substantial effort to make sure the game can handle and stay stable with that possibility of sims.
True, but they could still raise the cap for played households, leaving the cap of eight in effect for unplayed lots. Even for rotational play, all but the current family could be rabbit-holed after the eighth sim.

But yeah, NPC slots for pets should be basic. 3 had pet slots even when they were controllable. Having two sets of grandparents and a couple means you have to choose between two kids, two pets, or a kid and a pet which is silly.
Exactly. Raising the cap doesn’t affect those who wish to play with less.

Yes. Would also love this because sometimes I like to have a couple adopt until max housing is accomplished. To be able to keep on adopting while kids grow and leave would be awesome.
