Has the slot number of sims changed with Cats and Dogs?

Cats and dogs count toward the household limit of 8.

You can have 1 sim and 7 pets. Only 8 household members.

I thought it depends on your household because can’t we only have 8 in a household including pets?

Yes.

Thank you everyone, it's a shame that they didn't add a few extra slots for pets like they done in past Sims games.

As far as I'm aware sims 2 was the only one with extra slots.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong for sims 3, but I believe they counted towards the total.

Sims 3 they allowed a couple of extra slots as well.

The Sims 3 Pets Expansion has bumped the household limit by 2 totaling 10 members. This means you can mix and match between 8 Sims and 6 Pets that do not exceed 10. Pets will count as member of the household and take up a spot.

Yeah, TS2 and TS3 had the same slot additions and limits. TS4 is more like TS1 in this regard...
