more family members mod?

[ari_]

I was using DocDoofus' LotFullOfSims mod before getting Pets. It doesn't seem to have been updated to be compatible, and Squinge only has a mod that lets you have up to 12 people. I have three lots that have 18-22 sims, and I'd kinda like to get back to playing them, so - is there a Pet compatible mod that ups the limit of sims allowed per lot?

Preferably one that allows births - otherwise I could just move people in with Inge's shrub. I don't care about the number of pets - I don't think I'll ever want to have many pets in a family.

I have 15 sims and 8 pets on my lot using Inge's teleporter shrub, the pet teleporter from mts2, Squinge's mod, ACR, and my sims are STILL able to "try for baby". That's how I ended up with sims # 14 and 15. I do have Doc Doofus' mod installed, still.

ETA:

Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk, as I've been told for 2 years that my game is a BFBVFS about to happen.

ah, I have Squinge's mod, and ACR, so I guess I'll just have to try one of the 20-sims-lot and see what happens...

Thank you!

*goes to make backup first*

I just edited my above post. I do actually still have the lot full of sims hack in my game.

I still use Doofus' mod. WFM.

Also use the following cheats:
uintProp   maxTotalSims 50
uintProp   maxTotalHumans 35
uintProp   maxTotalPets 15

It looks like this allows combining households from the neighbourhood screen over the normal limit: I succesfully merged in 4 Sims to a lot where already 8 Sims and 3 Pets were living.

That's good to know.  I'll give that a try.

Oh that looks handy - that might be one for the user start up file. 

I've been adding sims to familes forever and there doesn't seem to be a problem playing big families with Pets although I did take LotFullofSims out (I think that can go back in now) so they've not been breeding.  The only thing I don't like is the way the extra family members display - they're slowly creeping across the screen from the left and if you don't have any pets in the family there's the pet column left completely blank.

Why, exactly, do you need two logins? That does not make much sense.

I wondered about that too...

So if the boss is looking, he doesn't see the total post count for "ari" and assume they were all made from work.

[J. M. Pescado]

Yes, but if they're neatly seperated like that, he can just see the post count for "mkir" and know they were ALL made from work.
