How many children do your sims have?

;) Usually 1 to 4 children.

Ever since the first sims game I have always let my sims have as many children as they wanted. This got a bit crazy in TS2 when a family sim would roll the want for 10 kids! I carried on this trend until very recently because I always play using wants and whims but family play was beginning to get more and more involved with the introduction of subsequent packs...University, HSY etc. Now I am happy for my sims to have just one or two children although I will sometimes go to three. I still have the odd family with more but I think two children is my sweet spot now....especially now we have infants.

I usually do a pigeon pair, One boy and one girl. The first one the game decides the sex and then the second one I will manipulate it with carrots or strawberries ;) I guess its because I myself have two kids (young adults now) and it is a boy and girl LOL

My sim family started with triplets that I aged up at different times. That way I was able to have one kid at each life stage and give them individual attention. They're now young adults and the first to age to young adult has two children. A teen and a child. My plan is to start the infant experience with the second daughter but wondering if I should try for a multiple birth.

My Sims have always had lots of kids, and now that I can play with a really long lifespan I tend to space them out quite a bit. Makes it less chaotic.

My Matriarch Sim (vampire) has had maybe 20 over the years, but her previous kids are usually adults or elders, or even dead, before she has another one. She surprised me by having triplets the last time and I ended up shipping two of them off to other households as soon as I picked my next heir.

Anything between 0 and 5, I think. Not sure if anyone had 6 yet.

I play on rotation, and every new year I throw a dice to decide who shall try for baby. I also have a fertility gene deciding who can try as Adult. If a couple is very career minded they might not try though, I'm letting a few of them have a word, too ;) Even if they try, there is no guarantee they will conceive, and if unlucky (or lucky, if they really shouldn't add more kids) they will get another go in about 2-3 years :)

Sounds quite rigid, I guess, but it's quickly administrated, and there's never a rule without exceptions :)

For me, it really depends on my sim. I typically have them have at least 2 but some of my sims have more. On average, I would say my sims usually have 2-4.

Currently playing an Orphanage:

1 teen gal
1 boy
2 twin girls
1 other girl
1 toddler boy
1 infant girl

1 caretaker adult who hates kids :D

It depends on the game, but 2 or 3 is usual. In the save I'm playing right now, my sim had 3 children as the second pregnancy resulted in twins. The eldest is now a young adult, however, and MCCC told me that his wife was pregnant with twins, 1 boy and 1 girl, but when the birth happened just now, it was a single female. MCCC has never got it wrong before.

None....and they never will
