I don't know how anyone can have more than 80 played sims tbh. I only keep my household as played normally and that's only 8.
Edit: wait, culling? Oh no
I used the term "played" but what the categories are actually called is "My Households" and "Other Households". The flag that keeps track of played vs. unplayed is separate. You don't have to actually play a household to protect them, you just need to have them in the "My Households" section of the
Manage Households interface.
That's my bad for incorrect terminology and confusing the issue. I've edited my post to make it less...unclear.
Culling is also not nearly as bad as it used to be. It used to trigger at a pretty low total sim count, somewhere around like 150 or something. It's way up there now, at like 800. I don't actually protect any households any longer except the ones I actually am playing (which is why I mucked up the terminology).
And even so, I can't remember the last time I noticed a sim get culled...which means, if culling has happened, the game has done a great job of picking sims/households that I simply haven't had any meaningful contact with it.
