Kitchen fires are the biggest threat at the beginning of an 8 sim household for me. I try to make it so one does the cooking for everybody, but sometimes they all try to cook at once and then before I know it, the kitchen is ablaze. I love playing large households, it's how I play most of the time.
In the beginning, it's easy to get them to eat, shower, sleep. It's when they start getting promotions and different work schedules that it gets a bit chaotic keeping up with things.
Most of the households I play are adults, no children. I assign them their own bedroom (or if they're related or a couple, they share a room) and restrict access to the others. I put a computer in each bedroom so they can work on daily tasks or whatnot without having to fight over computers.
Multiple bathrooms are a must, I agree that there should be 1 bathroom per 3 sims.
I try to organize it so I can put a few on their daily tasks at the same time and I try to do careers where it's easy enough for them to do daily tasks. I find that the entertainer career is one, you just stick them on an instrument or computer for a few hours and you don't have to worry too much about it. If you're a comedian, you need charisma later on, but my comedians have been outgoing and have built that up just by having conversations.
Business career is the worst, or any one where you need a to have a certain level in 2 skills plus a daily work task, such as the Secret Agent. I think that's logic, charisma, and browsing intelligence. In a 1-2 sim household, this one would be a breeze. In a big household, I find it difficult to keep up with too many work demands. The other ones I like is Astronaut, they have to play chess every day, or later on, work out. Writer and Painter isn't too bad either. Anything that requires a minimum of tasks to get promoted.
Having said that, certain aspirations can be a bit more difficult to achieve in a large household as well, like the ones that require you to go out and meet people, go on dates, throw parties, etc.
