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...

So many great ideas, thanks!
@QueenofMyshuno I never thought of using clubs! One major problem is that household gets too full, but calling additional maids sounds so cool! Let's know if it works as intended.
I want my Duke & Dutchess to have a dog. Although keeping dogs on a different lot could be a possibility, I avoided pets this far as I play free will and imagine so many of the household members would get interrupted when dog asks for attention. Might get a small dog, but must remember to give it independent and lazy traits :)
My Duke fam has only 2 servants, a Butler and a Cook. They will have a governante too next time there are births at the castle. I love arranging the rooms by locking doors, and at the castle this is the Butlers chore. It was a headache when hiring the butler service, when butlers switched the locked doors seemed to need adjustments. It works much better with live-in butler. I let the butler do cleaning, because otherwise there is not really much for him to do beside repairing stuff. I have a challenge with the bedroom baths, though, because with access to the bedrooms he will also use the teens' computers etc. I might need to arrange access to the bathrooms directly from the corridor, and keep the butler out of the bedrooms. Or just lock it all off and teleport him when there is chores in those bathrooms...
