Small or Large families?

All of my rotation households end up full sooner than later all the time ??‍♀️

I don't know which one to answer, because I rotate a lot the way I play. Usually when I'm trying something new in the game, like a different career or something like that, I play with small families, usually just one sim lol, but I also like to play with large families because it feels more challenging and it's fun to do parties and stuff with them.

Yeah, depends on the family/Sim. Currently I've got a single Sim who I'm preparing to start an art gallery, then I'm leaving him unplayed so I can have other families patronize his place. This is in my template save. I plan to start a new save with the template as a base, with the goal of unlocking all the career outfits; I'll be starting with a household of four Sims each in a different career and go from there. Eventually there'll be a couple of kids (depending how the couplings shake) and they'll pick up where the older Sims left off, likely hringing in a couple of more Sims and going from there. So in that save I'll be playing anywhere from 4 to 6 Sims in a household. My ultimate goal is to test and see if I can move a member of the household to a new save and see if they keep the unlocks -- if so I'll add them to my template save and have them take over DSV Clothiers so they can sell the best of the locked career outfits -- maybe if I move two members of the household I can have two clothing stores.

It depends, but I really like playing large households.

I like to start out small and make them bigger over time, it's a fun challenge to me.

I have all size families, but admit I play the larger ones most. Some are 3 generations, some are brothers and sisters, others are just a large 2 parent family. I also enjoy my smaller families, but the larger ones over all are more fun to play most of the time. I love the variety of different sized families.....

I love having large families but it’s tough to play is everyone most the time.

Apparently, I'm not happy unless I'm juggling things. LOL I do use the MCCC mod and it helps a great deal. I also have full autonomy on, as well. The thing that bothers me is if I follow one Sim to work, the toddlers end up in the red. Some of them so bad that I've had to break my own 'rules' of never using the Make Happy cheat on them. Even if they're sent to DayCare, which should be unnecessary, because a parent is left with them. I've had tots return from DayCare in pretty bad shape, needs-wise.

Usually start off with a small family but there's times where family will get big rather unplanned. Usually one sim who eventually gets married have a kid and sometimes one animal or two. Things get pretty busy when you have more than a few Sims to keep up with. Though with bigger families I like inviting in-laws and other family over for family dinners and a movie night.

I prefer large households. I used to have my sims have 6-10 kids but now, it's reduced to 3-6. I just love looking at the genetic system in the game

Large households and unlike the commentors so far I find managing large households with free will on HARDER than with it off. When I play with free will (for challenges), I'm constantly canceling actions, watching my sims like a hawk, planning the house around free will damage control and they will still find ways to slip in some nonsense. I hardly get to play the actual game that way.
