Game refused to add another Sim and told me I have too many Sims. I had reached the 150 Sims limit ö.ö'
How many Sims do you actually play?
I have played all of them over the last ~ 9 years. All in one save...
And are you a rotational player or do you abandon households to start all over again with new sims?
I'm a rotational player and never abandon a Sim.
Ah and I should add that my Sims never die, therefore there's so many of them ^^'

I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
but I move the households to "other households" when not playing the household at the moment
so I never hit the sim count because sim count only cares about sims that are in "my households" tab
randomized townies are deleted everytime i play
and as I play with premade sim families
I don't really create extra sims that much
other than maybe some sims from previous sims games or random temporary npcs
or ofcourse sims born in game

I have multiple saves, and can get past 100 sims by just creating Sims, not including their future kids. Other save files, I have created less Sims, and plan to have a smaller generation for the next one.
Now, if I kept active all of the families I ever played, it would probably be closer to 250 sims. However, I tend to take the ones that I'd like to keep, but are slightly less important to me, and I rotate them in and out of My Households. But they are still housed, have jobs, have relationships with sims that are in My Households, and I occasionally update them in CAS. (New outfits from new packs, new likes/dislikes, etc.). Then I do occasionally play them and then move them back to Other Households, though they do not make it into the rotation as often as my favorites. As a result, I have never had any of these households culled.
So ya, I have a lot of sims lol. And they also never die, I have aging off on everything. I control everything, even their neighbors. Death only occurs if it's part of the story I'm trying to tell.
Same here. Plus, other Sims that I'm not playing tend to age and go through their life cycles and eventually die while I'm focusing on other characters. I'm always deleting saves that get boring and/or tedious.
I do have a save that I will probably keep and try to continue longer than I usually do.
So if you saw my comment above I have WAY to many sims and I too at times have loaded up a save only to stare in bewilderment because I have no idea what was going on at the time I exited lol.

Out of those 208, some clearly are the main characters, while others drop in and out of the story on irregular intervals. In practise it's really Reed/Anderson/Miller/Manfred/Phillips/Villareal and whoever they have to deal with. I have a very hard time deleting sims, but oftentimes it pays off to keep everyone who ever had a line of dialogue around. Nothing like realizing that this semi-abandoned tourguide from 2018 is the PERFECT candidate to become my first spellcaster in 2021
That said, I play a lot of short-lived side saves with my favs in alternate realities. The sim count in my current save is 19 sims in three households.
Also, not sure if you're aware (or if anyone else mentioned it), you can change the limit if you want to play more households.

That makes sense. I've never rotated between more probably 30 households. I plan to change that eventually.
I'm surprised that this option in your poll is currently leading, I thought I was in the minority. Just goes to show that EA needs to give more love and attention to rotational players so that certain things do not get ruined whilst we're away (such as uni degrees, relationships etc).
up-to-date packs.😉
Would the household bios do what you want @Smellincoffee ?
As far as I know, the player has to edit that from neighborhood view, and it's not visible except in neighborhood view. In The Sims 1, players could hover over a sim's icon in the relationship panel and see their bio, and then ctrl-clicking a played sim (in the active household) would open up a box to edit it. You couldn't edit a sim in a lot you weren't currently playing, but it worked well enough that I remember it fondly. The sims 2 also had bios, but they were kinda hidden and that instant-read access wasn't there.
