1 Child per couple-Village of the Damned imminent!
Foxybaby:
Oh dear, I seem to have unintentionally recreated "The Village of the Damned". Let me explain, for some reason, I only get through about 3 generations of a family before I get rid of them and move onto a different project/challenge, and I never play the Maxis families. Anyway, I played Brandi Broke-determined that I am going to see this though as I am, I foolishly let her have 6 kids (one adopted). She had her 3 boys 1st, Dustin, Beau, Bobby. Then after a one-night stand (damn risky woohoo :D), she had Bonnie, she then remarried and had Billie, and then as she couldn't physically have more kids (4 days from elderhood), she adopted Kelly. Now, 3 of the kids have black hair (Bobby, Billie & Bonnie). The rest have blonde. Now most of those kids now have kids and they are almost at elderhood( I am playing them in order and I'm getting confused!) All the kids bar 1 have blonde hair and blue eyes!!! Its very bizarre and Pleasantview is overun with Brokes! What am I going to do? Will they interbreed into a super race??
Vampyre:
I've got similiar problems in one old neighborhood especially.
Being curious about how the offspring are gonna look is almost as dangerous as those silly wants to have 10 children.
Where do you draw the line?
At some point you'll get to where you can't play everyone or place them on the map... (neither of which I've encountered yet).
Elders stay elders so long that the population grows unwieldy very fast.
Now mix in a lot of vampires, zombies and servos and you have yourself quite a stew! :)
I don't like exterminating sims just to thin the population; the sim bin keeps them in suspended animation so I don't like that either.
I'm considering emmigration as a possible solution: Uprooting select families to export them into new neighborhoods where they can start fresh (and less tangled).
That does negate them from the family tree, but I don't see a better solution.

Good thinking-I think I'll try that!
KatieMae:
What I like to do for the elders is make a Retirement Home for them and move them all into one house. That way the grandkids can still get to know their grandparents but they're not taking up as much space. ( And I really don't like playing the elders either) :hello2:
Micke:
My favourite Sims is the only Sims that is allowed more then two kids. If I really don't like them I just let them have one.
It’s a bit the same with my elders. Those Sims that I like is allowed to live longer but the ones I really don't like I use a painting (that I've forgotten the name of) to reduce the days left for that sim to die.
