Sims 2 larger families

Method 1. Download a mod that allows more than eight Sims per lot. There are two popular mods that allow this, so pick the one you prefer. Place the mod into your Sims 2 Downloads folder. It's a good idea to create a subfolder in your Downloads folder and name it "Mods" or "Hacks", since it keeps it separate from any other custom content you may have.

Edit your userstartup file, if you plan to merge preexisting households. If you want to combine existing households, you'll need to take another step before you start your game. Look for a file called userstartup. If you don't have one, create a new file in Notepad or TextEdit. Add the line uintprop maxTotalSims Add the line uintprop maxTotalHumans Add the line uintprop maxTotalPets Save your userstartup. Make sure there's no file extension tacked on at the end. Enable custom content.

A popup will come up warning you that you have mods in your game; near the bottom of the popup, check the box for "Enable custom content". You need to restart your game for the changes to take effect.

Enter a household. You should now be able to add more Sims to the household, even if there are already eight Sims living there. You may need to move the family out and back into their house for the changes to take effect. Method 2. It doesn't matter which neighborhood it's in or how many Sims already live on the lot. Enable testingcheats. Spawn the Tombstone of Life and Death. Click Spawn A tombstone should appear near your Sim.

Click on the tombstone. Continue generating Sims like this until you've passed the eight-Sim household limit. These Sims will be randomly generated, with random names, appearances, and personalities. They will not be related to each other. It depends on your game resolution and whether you play in fullscreen mode. In general, though, larger resolutions show more Sims on the sidebar. On my computer, with the game in windowed mode running at x resolution, the sidebar fits 17 Sims.

I've heard that it's possible to increase the family size beyond the 10 made available with the Pets EP. I have all the EPs and SPs installed, and I would like to know how to make it so I might possibly have as many as 15 humans and 10 pets on one lot via pregnancy of human or pet without anything screwing up the entire game.

Thanks in advance! Top Voted Answer. I'd recommend moving people out and then moving them back in. This way, they can have their babies and then move back in using the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, and then selecting to add someone to the lot.

This way, I had 24 people living on one lot, having babies regularly. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. Gunsandredroses - 8 years ago 1 0.
