How many Sims are you playing?
cwieberdink:
I play my own family -- my grandchildren are now ready to get married, but I haven't aged a day. LOL. I just had another baby in fact. I guess it's time to start aging myself and my hubby. My daughters were boring so I put them into the bachelorette challenge which was a blast. I also have a "legacy" neighborhood but I got bored with them and am just playing them normal now. I play some of the families in strangetown but usually for testing purposes.

haha gali - I had Daniel run back to Mary-Sue as Kaylynn's baby making was getting way out of control! They've happily remarried and Daniel seems to want nothing more than Angela and/or Lilith to just keep pumping out those grandchildren for him. Currently we have Diana and Jeffrey Pleasant from Angela (who both look like little Dustin clones - it's downright eerie) and Darla Dreamer from Lilith (a good mix between Lilith and Dirk's genes).
I keep starting lists of where everybody's up to, but it's all but impossible with the number of affairs which have led to children (mainly just to keep a family name going, like Nina having Don's kids so we could keep some Caliente's around, until she then met and married Komei, who of course straight away wanted a baby, and got Tina), and the occasional alien abduction, so I end up with entries repeating themselves all over the place. lol.
Now I've just decided to start an MS Access database!!
(EDIT: yes I did start up that database, and learnt that I don't know all of my sims names! One toddler I identify as 'monkey features' - maybe, had I known that was what she was going to look like, that would have actually been her name - a couple other babies I know as 'that new baby in such and such house', my 'Townie' family of mother, father and teen (I can only remember teen Theresa's name out of those - they're fairly new)
All up, counting those I remember and those who I know exist but can't remember names, jobs, aspirations etc, I have 90+ sims in Pleasantview, and 13 (that's it???) in Aridia, the Legacy neighbourhood.)
No wonder it's taken me so long to get through the second generation of Pleasantview! Serious population control is on the way in the next generation.

I'm pleased this thread was started as I came away from a weekend of Sims2 NL play feeling a little over whelmed. Too many families to control.
I took the boy and girl greek houses and married each one off. Thats 4 boys - Joshua Ruben, Castor Nova, Kevin Beare and Ashley Pitts. The girls - Heather Huffington, Tiffany Sampson and Brittany Upsnott.
Castor is with a townie called Ally.
Kevin is with a townie called Calista - pregnant.
Ashley is with Heather + one child Alyssa
Tiffany is with a CAS sim Hunter - pregnant.
Brittany is with redhead maid Steven Dallas.
Thats it. I dislike Joshua so stuck him on an empty lot with a phone.
I am finding it really hard to play all these sims and keep time or age sync. I am eager to stick to one family but now that I have started them all, I don't want children of my "chosen" family making friends with sims I know shoud be 200years old!
They are all in Vernoville. I like the style of housing.
Soooo, I am thinking, against all perfect sense and I know my computer could blow up but I am tempted to move one favourite family to a custom hood. That way they lose all memory of their past life and I can start new with them.

I'm impressed by the variety of answers! I play only my own neighborhood with its attached SSU (I tried Pleasantville the first day I played the game, but I didn't save any of the lots after playing them, so it's still sitting there untouched.) Haven't counted the controllables lately, so let's see...
My first CAS Sim, Ransom Zoom, moved in and married Marisa Bendet, and they had a daughter Georgia and a son Hermes; the daughter's on another lot now, so here we'll just count Ransom and Marisa and Hermes: 3.
My second CAS Sim, Sally Raptor (Romance), has had two daughters (also Romance). One moved out to go to college, and the other hasn't quite moved in Kennedy Cox yet, so on this lot we'll just count Sally and Eleanor: 2 (total 5).
Sally's younger daughter Gina went off to college and came back and has just gotten pregnant by Dawson Day, although she didn't move him in. So counting just Gina (and not the fetus, heh heh), that's 1 more (6).
Sally's daughter Eleanor moved in Kaylynn Langerak awhile back, and then Kaylynn moved out, fell in love with and eventually married Benjamin Long, and they had twins. So that's 4 more living in the Langerak mansion (Kaylynn got to Celebrity Chef, and Benjamin's bringing in the bucks in the Science track now, so they're well off). Total 10.
Eleanor later moved in Brandi LeTourneau, who then moved out and opened a boarding house on the edge of town. Brandi in turn moved in Sandy Bruty. Also living there at the moment are Taylor Almassizadeh (a gownie graduated from SSU, made controllable by Gina Raptor while she was in school), and Peran Nolstovski, a Sim I downloaded from a friend. So that's four more: 14.
My third and fourth CAS Sims were John and Jean Danvers. I won't give their entire family history here 8) but currently they're living with their daughter Jane, Jane's wife Georgia Zoom Danvers, Jane and Georgia's adopted son Justin, and their twins (thanks to the TOLAD) Jan and Jen. John, Jean, Jane, Georgia, Justin, Jan and Jen are seven more: 21.
At SSU Candice Ng is living in the house that Gina Raptor originally rented off campus (and passed along to Taylor, who passed it to Candice). Randy London (former teen townie) is living in one dorm, and Joan Danvers (John and Jean's younger daughter) is in another. And I've been playing the pre-built "Bright" house enough that I'll count them also (Jane Stacks is sleeping with Martin, and Allegra with Castor Nova, although he still lives in the frat house and I've never controlled him). So that's six more: 27.
And that's probably about it. Deepest apologies to any of my Sims that I forgot to mention... ;D

I don't play any of the Maxis neighborhoods. None of them seemed interesting to me. However, I play one custom neighborhood (I have another custom neighborhood, which is a test neighborhood), with about 31 playable Sims... which kind of amazes me, since I could've swore I had more... not to mention that a lot of them are going to be elders, and hence are soon going to croak.
Perhaps that is why it is so easy for me to play them all while keeping them relatively the same age. I also don't marry townies or dormies. None of them appeal to me that much.
