    The max size is set to 80, but I only ever play the one family. If I go into the other households, I always mark them as unplayed after I'm done. All the settings have been reset to default multiple times, just in case I missed a setting that I might have accidentally changed. But, as I said up there ^^, I've also played with only deaths on, and it jsut doesn't do anything. This has happened for months now, through all my saves since about the start of the year, if I remember correctly. On both Xbox One and PS4 now. I had one family on normal lifespan get to gen 4 with no accidental deaths. I have one now who is on short lifespan and is about three or four days after aging up to adult with no deaths. There's a new save from the other day on normal lifespan about two weeks in in-game and none there either.

    What is your current game version number?

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play in one save for a while. At first, 1-2 neighborhood stories deaths occur every night at around 3AM. After a few months of Sims time, the rate decreases and eventually there are no more neighborhood stories deaths.

    Idk if this is accurate. I have 1092 sims in my save, NS stories isn’t taking them out anymore so the population is growing kinda outta control.
