There is a mod so you can have to 25 in one households.

It no longer works. Neither does the MCCC provision for a larger household. The first Mod-Busting patch took care of that. Oh, you can have more babies, don't get me wrong. You just can't save your game with them. So, what is the point? Just having that seventh child over and over and over again? Or, don't save the entire time you play? That won't work either. The minute you save that extra Sim is gone.

I'm assuming it's harder on your system so.. no I don't want more than 8. I rarely have households bigger than 2 unless I'm doing a challenge.
I wouldn't mind if they upped it with a notice to use at your own risk.. I think people just assume it will work well though if it's available.

@GalacticGal and anyone else who wants larger households with MCCC

Again, you can still play larger households with MCCC. Just now I went into my game and tested the household with 15 sims. It still works with no problems. Here's proof that it still works.

To get more than 8 household members you click on a computer > MC Command Center > MCCC Settings > Gameplay Settings > Maximum Household Size
Then you can enter any number up to 25. Like I said in my other post, there are problems with the game crashing if you have pets in your household with over 8 members. If you only have sims though, then there aren't any problems.

The sims 1,2,3 and 4 all had limit 8 sims and I'm fine with it.

Every single household fils up fast in my game. I wish to be able to have at least 10 in the household.

LOL I am retired now but still don't have enough time to play even bigger families. Well not unless i give up my real life time. So 8 is definitely enough for me.

The only way to avoid "mod-busting" patches is for EA to stop making new content for Sims 4. Do you really want that? I don't.

EA does not officially support mods; they literally can't because there are so many mods out there, from script mods like MCCC and UI Cheats extension to little tuning mods that let Blicbloc gain logic instead of gaming skill or to block annoying autonomous actions like constantly getting water from the sink. It's not up to EA to keep track of all the mods - that's up to the mod developers to check and update when necessary whenever there's a patch, and to players to check their mods and update. When there's a patch, I'll takea couple of days off from playing and spend some time building or creating Sims to give time for my most required mods like MCCC and UI Cheats Extension a chance to get updated.

This isn't directed at you solely, @GalacticGal but people who complain about patches breaking their mods gets on my nerves. Now if someone can give me a hand, I'll climb off my soapbox...

I'd like to have 10-12 Sims per household.

If you have played with more than 8 Sims, with a mod, or with more Pets in TS3, I feel you know what it's like. But if you haven't, it does get pretty crazy. I played with 10 Sims in my Bachelor Challenge for a week or so, then a couple of the contestants left. But that week was pretty crazy. I wasn't controlling the contestants most of the time, either, unless Needs got emergent. I did group them up for certain things. I used the Club function, as well, to wrangle them to do what I wanted.

The house was good sized, so they could have their own rooms, had quite a few bathrooms, etc, but I still had the game on pause more than I had it on play, it seemed. Loading time increased quite a bit, too, to load the detailed large lot. And large lots just don't play that smoothly for me. I'm well within the recommendations but they just seem not to flow as well, with some autonomy lag and queues getting stuck or dropping interactions a bit. I wonder now with Seasons how that lot would play.

For the actual times I'd want to use this, the percentage would be way low. If it wouldn't be a lot of work for the team, I guess I wouldn't mind, as it certainly is a choice. But if it is lot of work, I'd much rather have them put that time put toward something I'd use more. In terms of optimal play, I'd rather play a 4-6 Sim household that flowed well, rather than a 10 Sim one with a bit of a hitch.
