Any way to have more than 8 sims in a household?

The code is designed with max 8 household sims in mind, the game will probably break with more than 8, a mod is possible but I wouldn't risk it.

I don't have a harem or something in my game, but one of my married sims regularily woohoos all 4 maids (2 male and 2 female).

I tried that with the mc commander but it didn't work. Either that or I didn't know how to make it happen.

Check out the selection of MCCC tuning options. I think you can access what you want via the computer, to denote household size. I stumbled across it recently. But up until recently, I still had two other mods that allowed for the larger households. (These were designed to work with earlier versions of MCCC, so they were compatible.) I accidentally deleted them by not removing them from my Mods folder when I did a reset of my game. Face/palm. Now, I'll have to see if MCCC truly does allow for the larger households. If not, I believe I have a copy of that other mod. You can also click on the mail box for additional options for MCCC.

Yes, you can have more than 8 Sims in a house. Just use the cheat: sims.Spawn
This will spawn a random Sim in your household. You can then just use cas.fulleditmode to change him/her to your liking.

I went to edit them with full edit mode and it only had the first eight characters i made able to edit.

if you use cas with more than eight sims, then since the game engine can't deal with more than eight sims it deletes sims after the eighth.
(we had a similar issue in sims 3)
this is why mc command center has its own cas that edits one sim at a time.
basically you need mcc to edit a household with more than eight sims. no way around that.

and its possible you may not be able to use mcc for this purpose anyway; i cant save when i have more than 8 sims in the household, so i dont bother with mcc and just suffer under the 8 sim limit T^T

regarding polyamorous sim relationships - you probably know this but for anyone who doesn't the reward trait for the serial romantic aspiration will stop poly jealousy. ofc if you have triangle-poly instead of v-poly all the sims need the trait which is tedious to gain without using cheats

you don't need a mod. do sims.spawn then cas.fulleditmode and then go to CAS. you can now edit sims, making them as old or young as you please.

How do I get to this?

Thanks so much @rosemow !
Helps a lot, no more problems like that!

I really wish there was a CAS workaround. I change my household's clothes every sim day. I'm at max, but would love to add a cat to the family. Since you can't even control pets, I really wish there was a way to permanently add another pet, and still be able to change clothing.

I tried the 'Change Outfit' closet trick but full CAS opened anyway.

You can if you are using MCCC. I am playing a household with 16 sims and am able to change their outfits through the settings. Only thing I think is you can't do is easily copy a vampire's dark form outfit. You have to manually do it by switching them to dark form first before going into CAS.
