How many played sims do you have in your game?

I have one main save to play in and other stick to a couple of households varying in size. I only add and rarely delete so consider this my maximum.

My sims manager tells me 109 sims in my households but about half of them are just in there for safe keeping. I absolutely dispise sims culling and would turn it off if I could. Imagine one day suddenly having friends or family erased from existence. So somewhere around 50 sims I actually play or have played with.
