Re: What is the best & easiest way to control a big family ?

3-5 is not a big household. With big households 7-8 I pause the game when I need to give orders to several Sims at once. I usually queue up a list of tasks. Example: Go use the toilet, take a shower/Bath, do homework and get something to eat. Have two refrigerators so if one is blocked they will use the other. The same goes for the Stove.
