I can't manage households or delete any sims

After the change where you can let sims spawn babies, adopt pets and children, my households are jam packed. I was disappointed that it just overloaded my households. My manage households option is greyed out and it tells me to go to create a sim to edit them. But when I do, I still can't find a way to delete them. My sim count is 92/80 now. I've been playing these households for years, all of them have specific storylines and now its riddled with random pets and children. No mods, same households I've been playing for years. Not a "new game."  We're talking like 25 extra characters. I already tried "Repair" on the game and Update.

  • Came to say that I figured it out. Increased my sim count restrictions to 120 instead of 80 and now they are letting me edit my households. Except im still stuck with all these babies i can't delete. Will probably age them up and then delete

    @CottonCandyCutie 

    You don't have to age the "extra" babies up to get rid of them.  Just go to Manage Households and choose a household that has the babies you don't want.  Use the split household function and select an NPC household you don't care about and transfer the babies to it.  Then delete that household.  When you're done, it will be like the babies never existed.  

    Hope this helps.
