Live-in Workers?
So, I've recently started to add live-in servants and other workers to some of my richer households. I find this is a cool way to avoid single sim households, but I will also allow teens with just 2-3...

My previous post was getting too long, so I wanted to post this separately to talk about some things I'm setting up to use in the future but haven't tested out yet.
I want my palace to have a lot of servants, so I made 1 live-in servant that is a permanent part of the residence, and I'm going to make a bunch of maids who live on a nearby lot. I'll have the live-in create a club and add all the other servants, and I'll give them club activities like cooking and cleaning.
I was thinking about having a Chamberlain in my palace who will eventually have a family of his own. I was considering moving him back and forth between households. His job is really important, so he has to live at the palace sometimes, but then he gets breaks where he can go home and live with his family.
I want my royals to have a bunch of dogs, but there's no space, so I created a kennel master who will live on a separate lot with the dogs. Then I'll have the royal family befriend the dogs and just invite them over all the time. I'm not sure how well that will work, but I'm going to try it.
In my world, you're basically considered an adult when you age up to teen, so I'm making a residential lot that's a university for my upper class and upper-middle class teen males to attend. (It's a sexist society.) The university will have 1 professor, 1 cook/janitor, and room for up to 6 students. I'm also making a boarding school for boys from the same classes with the same basic set-up. This will free up space in the house, although I'm not exactly sure how I'll use this as I still want the boys to come home for breaks and holidays. I might put them in a family club and use a days-long club meeting to bring them into the house, or I might temporarily move some servants out while I have the boys at home if I need the space.
