How many Sims are there in your main save file?

I answered under 50 because I didn’t understand the way you intended the question. My played sim count (the one that matters) is at 46. I like it to stay under 50 because it starts to act wonky the more sims I add. I have no idea how many townies there are in my game because they don’t count against my sim count so I never check on them, unless one annoys my and I need to delete them.

I don't have a main save but my largest save is still well under 50 (36 sims) for my households. Yes, I just read what you said by the ways but had voted before learning all the twists and turns :p

In my Stardew Valley save I added in the premades I hadn't deleted (including the wandering ones) and it brought it up to about 70. Since I was there I deleted about 56 spawned sims that I don't care about and delete when I think about it just for maintenance.
So total (other than sims I can't see at all ) and adding in a very generous dollop I doubt I ever go much over 200 sims even if I'm lax with the clean up. I guess as new packs come in that number might rise.

I think I have about 80 sims in my households, even though I don't play all of them. I might like to reduce the number a bit and also maybe have about 10 households that I actively play, so that I could focus on them better, but it's a slow process.

I didn't count the "other households" in my answer, sorry. I'm not sure how many there are... maybe under 100 because every now and then I delete some of them just to make sure that the game doesn't delete the ones I want to keep, and I guess I also like to see what kind of townies there are and whether I would like to move some of them to my households.

I *love* having most houses occupied so I see a variety of Sims, but I do sometimes do a round of deleting a handful of townies that don't interest me. I glanced at my total a few days ago and it was in the 300s.

I use MCCC so they can breed on their own and all but I need to make sure to delete all homeless in my saves to make it manageable.

Yeah I think the picture confused most ppl on what you're asking, myself included. :D I have 77 in "My Households". A couple 100 in my Other Households. I never counted. probably should. :D
