I like to start with 8 usually and treat them in different ways. One family was of 8 adults and I moved them all out, each to a lot in Newcrest and started them off with tents or starter houses, one was a generation of two seniors, two adults and 4 children, one of eight earning adults, one of 2 parents and 6 children, one of 2 seniors, two adults and four young adults. I also like to fill up with pets my smaller families to reach 8. There are so many variations and I try to get to my recommended limit of 200 Sims with them turning up in jobs all over the world. I am more likely to see them wandering about the neighbourhood than townies, which is an improvement!
This is the first iteration where I have actually managed to play my larger families without giving up with stress! I play with aging on for chosen and unplayed families and find some of them ghosts or grown up when I get round to playing them which is quite interesting. I always keep the original ones in My Library if I do get annoyed at what has happened to them.
Seniors come in very handy to look after the house when everyone goes to work and to feed the kids when they get home. It does make for a better functioning household!
