How many children do your sims have?

Most of my sim families have 2-4 children. I try to have just one or two but then I let them expand the family anyway because the toddlers and now also infants look too cute to resist.

Some sims stay without children because they are background characters for my main sim. I would like to play them as well rotationally but I can't get around to them. It is too time consuming.

Zero kids. All the kids/babies i have in my game are younger siblings to my main sims but none have kids of their own. That way I still get to play with kids.
I only have one main sim that adopted two teens after their mom died but that is for a special storyline.
And I do plan on adopting an infant when I get to that part of my story.

Malcolm Landgraab has 2X children with different women…
My simself is just having 7 children.

I usually play with mods that let me have more sims in my household. My current sims have 24 kids.

Three to five is my normal for kids, but if I'm trying to keep my save calm I'll only have one or two ?

The most is 12 children who are part of the Washington family. They are a family that I've made since Sims 2 when the Sims 2 game used to challenge you to make 10 children and 20 grandchildren. I usually make the first generations large and then the second generations is usually 1 or 2 kids.

I play rotationally and each household is different.

In my main save I have aging off most of the time and have:

I have one household with 2 teens, 2 children, and one newborn, soon to be infant…. So 5 altogether, but will most likely become 6 soon after my newborn is aged up to infant.

I have quite a few households with one child each…. They range from newborn to teen.

I have a few households with 2 children. Some with 1 teen, and one child. Some with 2 children. One family has 1 teen and 1 child with both parents and one set of grandparents in the household ( the other set of grandparents just moved out awhile ago to have a dog and then also a farm as well ).

Not all children are raised by 2 parents though. One is with a grandmother, one with a single dad, one household has a child and teen raised by a young adult sister who is planning on marrying a sim that moved into the household and will be starting her own family as well soon after. And, another family with a teen, a single (A) mother, with the single mothers brother (YA), and the mothers father (Elder).


My Scenario rotational save:

One household with 2 children plus a soon to be baby on the way.

One family with a child and a teen and parents

One teen living with a (YA) brother.

One teen living with a (YA) sister

One teen with both (A) parents


A very old legacy save I haven’t played in years has:

2 children and one teen with parents.



But since infants are here, and my friend is no longer visiting, these numbers will likely change ( after I do some family dynamics and compatibility updates) since the infant update and growing together have been installed. I’m still looking over the town and changing some buildings.

Usually one pregnancy, however many kids that ends up being. I'm playing a rotational legacy-like save and I can only handle so many spares per generation.

This is EXACTLY how I plan on my playing in my new rotational save. If my sims have twins or triplets, that’s fine, but I don’t want to go out of my way to have numerous households every generation, lol.

I do one or two pregnancy and what ever number of babies they have is how many children they have in my normal games....

In my 100 baby...well that depends on how well that generation is doing

I have 3 kids. Currently 1 child, 1 toddler and 1 infant. They would try for another baby once their infant learned to crawl.
