How many played sims do you have in your game?

76. I play rotationally and that is about 16 households right now. I used to have it set at 80 max but upped it to 150 although I have never gone over the 80 mark. Agree about the spawning. Everytime my sims go to a venue, instead of using the existing townies, it spawns more and I have to go delete them. I have so many unplayed sims now, I don't know why it won't use the existing ones.
