Re: Can’t add a new sim
At level 47, VIP 8 you should be able to have 32 sims in your town (if you have not bought additional sims)
30 sims for level 47, +2 for VIP
There are frequently an offer to buy additional sims in the special store (I think it's around $100 per sim) so the number can go up
Not sure you how you can have more sims than 32 without having bought more sims or used an exploit or a mod
But that is the answer to why you can not add another sim
Normally you get +1 sim/town at level, base 2 sim, +1 at level 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34,36, 38, 41, 44, 47, 50, 52, 54 and 55 bringing the total to 34 sims/town
VIP will add +1 sim per town on level 6, 8, 10 and add +4 at level 15, a total of +7 sims per town at VIP 15
Total number of sims per town at level 55 and VIP 15 is 41
In you case, you will not be able to add more sims unless you up your VIP to 10 (when you're on level 55) or buy additional sims when the offer returns
Or up your VIP to 15 and reach level 52
Or, right now, if you delete 5 more sims, bringing your total down to 31
