When I set mc command center settings to set the max household size as 104, it allows every household to have more than 8 sims. I don't want that. I only want my active household to have more than 8 because I fully control everything that happens. They don't have babies without my permission, they don't adopt babies or animals without my permission. In my decades challenge, I have the settings set in a way that allows unplayed households to live their lives. (Have babies) That way my extended family won't die off. (I Use an online website to keep track of my family treet since the in-game family tree breaks after a while.)
I have aging turned off and it's a long story but I micro manage unplayed households a lot to ensure their children's ages match up with mine. So when my toddler ages up, all the other toddlers age up. Basically I like to play realistically, so instead of being a infant for 5 days, I keep them as infants for 4 seasons (aka 1 year.) So I have ageing off. I tried having turning on aging for unplayed households when its time for them to age up and used MCcc to set all the lifestages as only 1 day, and then turn off aging once they've aged up. But the thing is they didn't age. I gave it two days and still most of them didn't age up. Babies were still babies, infants were still infants. I can't leave it on, I can't have them aging up before they're supposed to. I thought about setting their life span to 4 weeks, but I can't let the adults age up that quickly and I have to be SURE they're ALL aging up on shedule.
It's very important to me. I am very set in my ways when it comes to this game. I need to control every aspect. It's just the way I am with this game.
For some reason, Infants won't age up with mc command center set age. The action just disappears. And I am not going to go through the trouble of baking a freaking cake in EVERY SINGLE HOUSEHOLD that has an infant. And becasue unplayed households are allowed to have more than 8 sims, I can't open the family in create a sim or house memebrs get deleted.
SO basically, is there a way to only allow my household to have more than 8 sims?
