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...

About MCCC setting... in case you want to try fixing about "adding more households into each empty home without my permission"
--> Go to MCCC menu from computer and click "MC Population"
and continue entering as below.
You can see that "Enabled" is the default value of MCCC setting. There are many things like this that you have to disable yourself.
More dangerous case in my experience is from MC Pregnancy (Not MC Woohoo)
You have to check every setting of this thing to avoid something like "Neighborhood Stories" such as
- Couples have a child autonomically
- Pets can be pregnant by other pets even from different households. (I didn't know at first then I found new puppies and kittens in the household)
- Auto marriage, or auto matchmaking (I am not sure but I disable it before this)
In conclusion, if you don't have benefit you want from MCCC right now, using "Neia No Culling Mod" may be safer (if updated). But I can say that you can set MCCC to be controllable. Just have to check everything, especially population and pregnancy.
(Edited - 2024-10-11 -- I don't sure about the recent update of Neia's mod. Better to check about the update date and modder or user confirmation too.)
I still use MCCC because it's easy to fix and cheat things without typing cheat code manually. (Ex. Remove buff and traits) And I can make "Log population details" to see the actual population number. (So I know that the culling starts in my game after reaching 671)
I hope that this can help. 🙂
Thanks so much for your response. That is a lot of helpful information.
Just a couple of follow-up questions:
- Do you know if Neia No Culling mod is effective for sims under Other Households?
- I don't MCCC because I use UI Cheat Extension which is perfect for my game (been using it for years)
- Also about MCCC, thanks for that information about moving in homeless sim. That is helpful!
- I am not sure about this mod because I don't use it. But I believe it is effective for whole of them including Hidden Household. That is because the game protects "My Household" by default. The mod should do for other parts. ***However, better to check about the mod's update day. I searched and found that the last update (and comment) by Modder was a long time ago.
- UI Cheat Extension is perfect enough and safe for most players. I will suggest this more than MCCC for new players because it doesn't secretly do something more than your command.
- You're welcome. You don't have to bring back MCCC because I suggest. There are many more hidden functions under my eyes that I saw later. Better use in testing save until can make sure. Moreover, MCCC is a popular mod that you can find YouTube reviews about settings. I learned from them too.
Extra advice - When using new big mods (or mods that affect important things a lot), better to "save as" and back up a save file before using it. So, you will be able to step back if something is wrong.
Thank you and have a nice day!
You're welcome!
