How do you decide when enough is enough?
Ok, so you may or may not’ve seen my poll about small families or large families. Well, i’m trying to decide when enough kids is enough kids, and I would love to hear your opinions on the topic. Thank...

I mostly plan children according to the parents. Family oriented couples who have uninvolved careers, or a parent who can stay in the home without it impacting quality or life, tend to have more kids for example. Couples who have very active careers and/or traits like loner or hot headed, have fewer children or perhaps no children, and tend to have children in the adult live stage instead of while being in their mid to late young adult stage.
I guess you could say I use an RPG approach to family planning. Would those two people, or that person, with those personality traits and lifestyle have children? Would they want a lot of kids, or be a one kid home? Would they disagree about children? Is one parent more actively involved than the other? Those sorts of questions typically lead me to my decision.
Genetics can also impact children for me. I like to leave born in game sims as untouched as possible. Some couples have really poor genetics for whatever reason, so I will usually make sure they have fewer kids and therefore fewer opportunities for that genetic combination to continue within the save. And couples that have really great genetics for whatever reason, their household will end up full to capacity, because I wants those genetics to carry on to the next generation of the save.
