Actual Maximum Sim Count in a game?
Hi all, I guess I start this thread because I am really not sure what is the actual maximum sim count a game can have as of now? Perhaps a simguru can enlighten me? So, I set my game to Unlimited s...

Finally I have someone who shares the same issue as me! :)
Here is the summary of how i discovered this problem:
- I have the habit to delete random townies from time to time, usually after every 2-3 sim days.
- In my game, i have 385 sims under My Households.
- For sims under Other Households, there is no certain way to count them so i estimate to be around 200 to 300 sims there but definitely they are lower compared to the sims under My Households.
- Recently I found out that the random townies are not generated at all and that made me wonder why.
- Next, I also found out that the ghost dog Whitaker is also being removed from my game.
- I have also discovered that those community lot NPC can spawn but after I leave the lot and they will also be removed the next sim day.
I don't have an exact answer of how this happened but I have done two things to mitigate this problem:
- Removed a mod which adds more sims in a venue. It could be the culprit because it tweaks the number of sims.
- Added Neia No Culling Mod into my game.
Also, I don't use MCCC because it messed with my game once by adding more households into each empty home without my permission but can you tell me more on how it stops culling in your game?
Apart from that, I have all expansion packs, game pack (except Batuu), all stuff packs but I only own some kits.
There are many things I want to answer and discuss. My answer may be long but I will write clearly as I can.
1-3 - I assumed that your overall sims population (both my and other household) is around 600+. So, it's close to my game. We may have the same case.
4 - If you have all Expansion Pack which includes Get Famous. The game usually uses existing sims for some roles such as mixologist. There is the list of roles in EgonV2's thread --> EgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0 | EA Forums - 4955205
5 - As I said, stray pets in "hidden household" and "other household" can be deleted. You have to move Captain Whitaker to "My Household" to avoid that.
6 - I don't have that case because I stop this progress with MCCC. (And I went back to back up file after found the deleting case)
About things you have done
1 - This isn't 100% solution but it can avoid generating unnecessary sims to fill the world. However, how many people you allowed on a lot before? Mine is 30. (But I will reduce to default 20 soon until I play Highschool again)
2 - "No Culling Mod" is exactly the solution for this. You are safe now!
About MCCC, I can help with how to set the mod to avoid the issue you said, I will answer in the next reply.
