Rene/Sims5 Household Size

8 is way too little for my tastes, clearly a byproduct from an earlier era that has never been updated since. At least double the total size of the household if that's not too much to ask for.

Don't use my 50 Sim household as an inspiration though. You can't play with autonomy on.

More than eight Sims would be nice and crazy difficult! :o I have a family with more than eight Sims in TS3 and my goodness you have to be on your toes! :p

8 Sim household is way to small especially when animals are included in that number, I think they should up it to 10 or 12.

Or allow as many Sims as your system and you can handle. Talk about chaos! >:)

P.S more floors and bigger lots would be nice too...

From my perspective, I'm fine with 8 being an official limit as performance testing is often based on established thresholds. This always leaves the option to expand the limit with options and mods.

With the ability to move couches wherever you want to place them, routing is going to be an absolute nightmare.

Keep default household size at eight, with an option to go beyond that. A one-time pop up should warn the player about potential lagging, freezing and crashing when they disable the limit for the first time. CAS options should be "take everyone into CAS (no deleting sims)" and "take this particular only into CAS".

there should be no limits, perhaps some kind of notification saying "if you include more than x sims your performance may be affected" or something like that. and fr pls dont hard code

Maybe that could be something that is enabled per household, like if you buy a certain lot trait you can add two more sims to your household and your bills will also increase. I would also love to be able to add more sims to a community lot, so instead of the current 20+ sims there are 30+ sims on the lot. Big lots appear deserted when there are only 20 sims on the lot.

I grew up in a family of eight (mother, father, six kids). Once the second generation start marrying and then having their own kids, that ceiling on the number of sims seems pretty low.
