I almost always play 8 sims, and it's pure chaos but honestly, I like it. when I play I stick to one household 2 parents 6 kids I have a large family irl so it's more of a way of life, 1 sim is too easy for me now, and I can't transition well, the hardest game mode was my main playstyle for a while I see a lot of this game is too easy well play 8 sims and if that's not enough I think the most brutal game mode 1 adult 7 tots. There is a system to it, deal with tots, then other sims. Just like in real life I have to put the little ones' needs 1st. I don't recommend this for everyone, only people who are complaining "it's easy" or if you want torture but I think I am a better player because of it. I also keep aging off and only age them one at a time usually once they maxed out all tot skills. one major downside, is my sim has no friends and almost never leaves the house. Protip: holidays aren't worth it.
