Sims starving to death

Do you have a recommended population amount or is it more subjective to the type of computer you are running the game on?
Depends on your computer. My computer is Awesome, so I never see this.

I have read the posts in this section, and I didnt notice this weird problem till i checked on one of my households and the wife was starving to death as well as other sims in the neighborhood, :/
Motoki:
So then it looks this is an issue caused by Awesome Story Mode. The Twallan Story Mode (and I think EAxis?) have provisions to remove sims from town either by emigration or death should the neighborhood become too full to the point where it taxes the system too much.
I know the idea with population control in Awesome Story is that you do a bunch of manual fiddling and go in and delete a bunch of cribs from houses so they don't reproduce, but that still takes a long time to bring the population down. In the meantime, apparently, sims will starve under such conditions forcing a more immediate decrease in population. :P

I had this problem in Riverview pre Ambitions, exactly as dedust described, with AM at the time. It's very likely my Riverview was grossly overpopulated considering my save folder was >500MB.
However, after installing Ambitions and playing an un-awesome Twinbrook, as soon as the game is loaded with AM installed, at least 8-sims instantly dropped dead of starvation at the perpetual celebration party in front of Town Hall. I pulled AM and reloaded the exact same save - not a single one of them croaked. I don't know if my computer's un-awesomeness would cause such different behavior with and without AM installed.
This also occurred with Awesome Story disabled, so I don't think Awesome Story itself is the reason.
Motoki:
Well I think the starvation from the cult-like mass swarm at City Hall and the starvation of random seems around the town are two different issues though.
For some reason, they get transfixed on that damned awards ceremony to the point where they won't do anything else, even eat or go to the bathroom.
