Re: why do no other sims appear on a lot when i take my sims somewhere
@HotdogLucy Hi! First, I want to say that I love the avatar you've chosen. :-)
I believe 20 is the max number of sims that will spawn on any lot without a mod. When playing your 20 sim household, all of them count toward this limit even if you only send one sim from the household to the lot. This is probably because of the potential for you to bring other household members to the lot. So, you really only have a couple options. 1. Reduce the number of sims in your household. 2. Find a mod that allows for more than 20 sims to spawn. Since you need a mod to have more than 8 sims in a household, I'm guessing option 2 will be more to your liking.
My guess is that you're using MCCC to change the max household size. Is that correct? If so, then you can use the Population module to increase the number of sims in a zone. Just click on a computer in game, then click MCCC > MC Population > Other settings > Maximum Sims In Zone. The max value is 200 sims though I would caution some restraint here since I'm not sure how your system might handle that many sims. Perhaps you could just increase it to 40 at first? Or if you want to have more, maybe you could use the game options to "save as" and test this setting before committing to it as your primary save.
Hope this helps!
