How many sims do you usually play with in a home?

Single sim usually with a pet or two or five... crazy cat ladies mostly. :D

I usually prefer to play single sims, so it's easy to focus on them.
On the other hand, my legacy family household consists of 2 adults, 1 teen, 3 kids and a dog. I love them but I hate how much time it takes to play a single day. Next generation will definitely be smaller

Most of my playing households usually begins with a single lady or a single man or a couple.
My unplayed households are from three to eight.

I looooove big families. I split them up when I feel overwhelmed but always end up with a full house again ?

It differs. I really don't mind the size of my households. Right now, most of them range from one to five sims, but if it's more than that, I let them freerange more often.

Three and above and the micromanager in me wails.

1-2, I'm not into family gameplay, I like small households so I can focus on each sim. I never really play with more than 2 adults but occasionally I'll have toddlers aswell. Atm I'm really into big houses with tons of roommates so the house feels more alive even though I only control a couple sims.

3-4 because if I have more that 4 sims in a household my sims don't get out of their house, I don't know how to manage their individuals lives

Anywhere from 5-8, but 5-6 is most common. My Sims always have tons of kids. I just really really like seeing how the genetics pan out, so I need to have lots of kids. It makes life complicated though because then all those kids get married and have their own kids and then half the save is related ? so then I go to CAS and make some new families to mingle in and THEY have a bunch of kids...keeps life interesting lol

I play with 3 to 5, and recently I kicked out my servo because she was getting too annoying, too much micromanagement (can't eat together and so on, have to do her own special stuff).
