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

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.

You can spawn more sims but, they will not show up in CAS. Only 8 sims show up in CAS at a time and they will be the original 8 family members, even with the cas.fulleditmode cheat.

Hello
MCCC mod allows more than 8 sims
MCCC > MCCC Settings > Gameplay Settings > Maximum Household Size

This setting allows overriding the default EA maximum household size of 8 to another value, up to 25. Note that when you have more than 8 Sims in a household, there are some in-game issues dealing with CAS. You have to use 'Modify in CAS' for the Sims that are after the first 8 in the household from the 'Sims Commands' menu. When a new update from EA comes-out, if you try to use the update when MCCC isn't updated, it could cause problems dealing with these households. This is the same as any household size change mod, but I just wanted to make sure it was noted here that these things should be kept in mind.

If my household size is set to above 8, how do I edit Sims in CAS so the game doesn’t delete all the Sims past the 8th in the household?

All of the core game’s “Edit in CAS” basic functions have household size hard-coded to 8. So no modder can prevent those functions from deleting extra Sims. However, there is a different “CAS Edit” that allows editing those large household sizes without losing extra family members. You would use that CAS edit rather than “Manage Household” or a dresser or a closet or a mirror or anything else. The safest thing to do is just use MCCC to edit the Sim rather than a Sims 4 method. The option for editing a single Sim in MCCC is "Modify in CAS". It is available in the initial MCCC Sims menu when clicking on a Sim in a household that has more than 8 Sims in it. It can also be found in the “MCCC > Sim Commands > Modify in CAS” path for any Sim.

Hello @TuttyGamer8
The MCCC mod can be downloaded at
https://deaderpool-mccc.com/?releases#Top
There is information about the mod in this link
http://deaderpool-mccc.com
This link thread provides help for the MC Command Center Mod. If you decide to use it and you have questions about the settings, you can post about it there, and there are helpful simmers there that will help you.

Once you have installed the mod, have your sim click on a computer in their home. Then click on the MCCC option. Then click on the MC Command Center section. Then click on MCCC settings, then MCCC gameplay settings, then maximum household size .

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

You’re welcome :)

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.

For those looking to take a sim into CAS with households greater than 8, then MCCC provides for this. Select Sim | Select MCCC | Select sim Commands | Select Modify in CAS.

This will open CAS for full editing on only that Sim
