little.
right now, i'm playing the largest family I've ever played and it's a little too crazy for my taste. It's only a family of 5 - grandparents, parents, and a toddler.
Three was max for me in Sims 2, because I hated the kids moving out and not aging. But I may change my mind now that that they all age together even if they are not living together.
I find it harder to keep track of large families though .. so I have been playing with the smaller ones so far.
I'm usually pretty intent with just 3-4 Sims at a time. 8 Sims can be pretty hectic but fun if you're in the mood. Just gotta make sure you have a big enough house for them all lol
I like bigger families. I think it's fun to see what the genetics will do each time. I like to start out with really crazy looking hair on my "starter" sim, then have them start a family with an townie and see what happens.

But when they grow up, I guess it's fun. I'm still preferring around 2 - 3 kids, it's just easier and you don't have to worry about each sim.

I love big families. With me being the only child in real life, it's the only kind I have! 4-6 plus kids are what I usually aim for while simming.
otherwise, 1-3
