Re: Maximum people in household
@HayesKerr I've had 11 sims in a household... but only 8 can be controlled without Mods (with the exception of pets, which also count in the 8). I never use Mods or CC. I had absolutely no problems caused by the size of the household this way.
Really felt I got full use of my butler!
In the household I had 11 sims in 2 were roomies and 1 was a butler because:
- Adding at least 2 roommates can increase your household capacity by 2 to a max of 10.
- A butler needs a bed assigned but does not count toward the 8 household sims, and is not controlled by you directly. They do live in the home though. Plus they also don't count toward the 8 household members or the extra 2 spaces of capacity you can expand to with 2 or more roommates.
Butler & Servo trivia: Another cool dynamic... I moved the pet out of the household to make and add a Servo. (Servo counts toward the 8 household sims) Servo needs to be maintained frequently. I found that my butler continually and autonomously would be right there to maintain the Servo! (Butlers have high maintenance skills.)
Roommates come with "Discover University" (DU). Roommates don't need to have anything to do with campus, though, or with being students. You can have roommates in any of your worlds/communities if you own DU.
Butlers come with the "Vintage Glamour" pack.
