@kirty96 I think the max # has always been 8. I'm not a coder, so it's really a question a coder would have to answer as to why there is a set limit, often I think it has to do with maybe the houses or lots can only function with a certain amount, or that's what I'm guessing. I guess added a few more might be cool, but it might be hard to keep up with say 10 sims, but I guess if you really wanted a challenge, but it would be hard to micromanage past a certain amount, 8 is pretty hard, 4-6 is about normal for me, or I just prefer playing a couple, or couple with kid.
