Small or Large families?

Large. A family of 2 parents and 3+ kids is the usual for me.

Small. Feels more intimate.My sims usually have just ONE child. Maybe 2 at most! And just like in real life, the individual kids can get more of their parents attention, without a whole busload of children to tend to. :smiley:

I tend to play with two adults with two children max... that is a small family to me. Pets are, of course, part of the family but since they can't be controlled I don't really consider them part of the "family size" in terms of controllable characters... does that make sense lol?

I usually play families of 4-5 Sims. Once I start playing more than five, the gameplay becomes too difficult to maintain everyone's needs and skills... and I often end up rushing things just to get stuff out of the way (which makes me feel terrible later on, which results in me wanting to just redo everything).

The only time my household goes over the maximum of 5 is if I have a pet... or one of my Sims' children get married (I usually have their boyfriend/girlfriend move into the house, get them engaged, have a wedding, and sometimes have at least one child before they move out on their own).

Haha I evened the vote to 50/50 ? I like having a lot of Sims and storylines to handle, so larger households are more for fun for me. It can also be fun to focus in-depth on one or two Sims, though.

Large all the way for me - but I'm also a multi-generational player, often in the same house due to legacy/genetacy style play. Really wish I could break the 8 sim limit without CAS deleting my sims, or playing games with MCCC to avoid that - though my limit through MCCC is 25! I rarely go above 8 in this game though, due to the above issue. S2 I can have as many as 50 sims in a house with no issues - though I've never hit that many lol.

I'm kind of in the middle, but in terms of enjoyment, I prefer small. I get stressed trying to handle big families. But, the thing is, that a lot of the times my families end up with four kids either to my boredom or a case of twins or triplets, and I have to figure out how to deal with it or abandon that family. I really want to start having no more than two kids. I just love pregnancy in this game though!

never more than 3 or 4 Sims in one household.

The way I have my families in Sims are just me n my hubby :) Yeah I created us in game. I build houses and stuff on other lots and let families move in but mainly its just 2. As I make sure I have NO kids in game...lol Yes I have kids in real life just like peace n quiet in game lol

5-6 children is my usual family size. I like large busy households.
