When does my sim need to get pregnant?

This topic is alot sadder than I thought it was going to be :'(

I think I might be a horrible person because for some reason your post @lovejess2 made me laugh so hard :D maybe it's just the realisation that it is kinda harsh trying to plan my sims life so the parents will die just as their children become teens/young adults.

I'm usually very nice to my sims. I just want to be able to focus on each generation separately.

I play on normal and if I get my Sims pregnant there's more than enough time. I usually have three generations in the same household because my elders just take forever to die.

My sims are adults but when I try to make them try for a baby it says this sim’s household is too big. Pls help

How many Sims are in the household already? You can have up to 8 Sims in one household, including pets.

I start my Sims' families when they are YAs to help maximize the time. I also play on LONG and age my wee ones up when I'm good and ready to do so. I found out the hard way, in one of my saves, though, that Long isn't the same as eternity. :s I was waiting for my Global Superstar to get to the top before I aged him to YA. Since he had two younger siblings that I wished to space adequately, by the time his only sister was where she needed to be (YA) and had met her future husband, I got a notice her new husband's mother's spirit was fading away. (I didn't even know she had passed!) Not terribly long afterward I did get the notice his father had passed. Ho-hum, neither got to meet their grandchildren. :'(

Such as life, simulated …

To answer your question more directly, I would guess that you start your Sims' family when you're ready for it. If all else fails, turn aging off.
