Anyone else feel like 200 is just not enough room for Sims? Once you own the DLC neighborhoods it gets quite empty if you play with families and not just several single Sims. Hope they're looking to increase it because I will not play unlimited because of crashes and stuff and if they keep adding more DLC (since Sims 4 life cycle isn't ending any time soon they said years ago) we need a higher limit otherwise we can't enjoy the game. So many empty houses, so many unplayed Sims.

so how do you play if you need more than 200 sims in one game ?i play rotationally, family after familyin TS4 i am now at nearly those 200 & realised that i don't like to play some of the families cause they are boring to play, so i plan to move them out of this game to make room for new or the offspings of those families i like to playto rotate between 200 sims takes a long time, a very long timei also think to play rather smaller communities in different set ups of games & fill the houses with those sims which are housed but prone to culling could help with the current limit& what do you mean bySo many empty houses, so many unplayed Sims.make a new game, put there your unplayed sims & play them therefill the empty houses with sims you won't play actively & so not marked as played & therefore probably to be culled at some pointmake businesses & venues for your sims to visit, this limits the number of residential houses even placeable at all considerablyi am rather running out of space for the families than running out of played/safe from culling sims, TS4 is so small in space but then again, i don't have 3 of the packs which came with new worlds & lots, maybe that makes the differencei could probably find it interesting to test it if there was a limit of 500 simshow about a POLL ?

I have mine on unlimited (currently 162 played sims & growing), and so far it's been fine, NPC population has stayed about the same & it still culls the ghosts. The biggest problem I have is running out of room for them all, even with evicting all the non-played households. We really need world packs and/or CAW.

So you have about 200 sims in My Household section.If you won't mind, put the limit to Unlimited. Unlimited means that you can have unlimited amount of sims protected (My Household section) while unprotected sims still get culled. You can change the setting in the Gameplay Options and Manage Households (in Manage Worlds).This limit function was put in game because people were having problems with culling (deleting old sims to make room to new).

Well after I lost some of my sims' friends and cousins I went ahead and set it to unlimited and currently I have four hundred and sixty-something sims in my played games. I don't play with half of them but I don't want my sims friends getting deleted. Game has not crashed yet either. It sticks sometimes but that was happening before anyhow.

There definitely should be a higher limit. If you don't like it, then impose a lower limit on your game. I am now at 150 sims, but that number will be getting bigger as time goes on.

Does anyone get problems with unlimited? I do have a strong computer. I will set my game soon to unlimited.

The "unlimited" applies only to how many Sims/cats/dogs can be in your favorite households. It's not a whole-game population. The whole-game cap isn't one you can change without mods.

@luthienrising I was not aware of this. What is the limit for the amount of sims you can have in the game? Also, what is the limit for how many sims can live in houses across all houses?

Across all houses, it's whatever fits. So, 8 x the number of residential lots. For the full game, 575 (unmodded). Details here :) http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/905991/culling-relationship-culling-decay-current-status/p1
