How to have more than 8 Sims in a household in The Sims 4

 

Most players in The Sims 4 usually create a character, or 4 at most, to start their life and experience all the evolution that the Sims have over time. As the game progresses, the household grows if you have decided to have children so that the family continues for generation , so you can continue your game.

However, the number of users that can be part of a domestic unit is not infinite, so there comes a time when you will have to discard or avoid having more members . Therefore, if your goal as a player is to have many characters in a single family, it will be difficult, although not impossible. There is a way to have more Sims than the game normally allows, and in our complete guide to The Sims 4 we will explain how to do it.

How many Sims can you have in a household in The Sims 4?

As Electronic Arts explains on its official page , each household can have a maximum of 8 Sims, regardless of the type of stage they are in, babies, children, adults or the elderly. In fact, the game throws a warning or problem to warn you when you are already at the limit of the members of a family. In short, each house can have up to 8 inhabitants.

When it comes to the number of Sims in a world, that is to say at a general level in all the worlds, you can create all the families you want in The Sims 4, although respecting the rule of 8 maximum characters in each one of them. The maximum number of inhabitants in the world of a game is 80, but by doing the following steps you can change this option:

• Enter «Game Options» .
• Select «Others».
• Click on «Activate Mods».
• Restart the game.

By following these steps, the mod will be activated and you will be able to control up to 24 Sims in a single game.
