The Sims 4 is a world-famous simulator where you can build a life and become anything. The possibilities are near endless, and that is why millions of people like us keep coming back. That being said, sometimes developers have to put caps on things in-game. This can be for a few reasons, such as graphical capabilities and memory availability. Sometimes it is just so that things don't become unmanageable. Here's how many you can have and how to expand the size.
How many Sims can be in a Household in The Sims 4?
There is no shortage of content for The Sims 4. However, in a game so big, there have to be some things that have limits. The maximum number for any given household in The Sims 4 is eight house members. Even if you have installed expansion packs such as Cats and Dogs, you still cannot have more than eight Sims and pets in a house. For example, you will have to decide whether you want six household members with two pets or eight household members.
