Really need this one!   Thank you!

You can try this in combination with the mod by following the steps and then direct your Sims to try for a baby or adopt a child:

1. Use Windows Explorer and go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\**Your User Name**\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config

2. If you don't have a userStartup file in that location, you can create one with Notepad. **Don't use WordPad, Microsoft Works or any other word processor program since these programs use special formatting rules. Notepad doesn't and is ideal for editing the userStartup file.**

3. Open a new document in Notepad and type the following three lines:

uintProp maxTotalSims 50 <<press Enter>>
uintProp maxTotalHumans 35 <<press Enter>>
uintProp maxTotalPets 15 <<press Enter>>

<<press Enter>> is what you should do after typing the line.
**Total Sims MUST equal the number of Humans and Pets.**

4. Save the file as userStartup.cfg in the same location:

C:\Documents and Settings\** Your User Name**\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config

The above lines will enable you to have more Sims on a given residential lot, whether it be a normal residential lot or an apartment lot. The mod is to let you have up to 12 but not more.

I did this but I still haven't been able to get it to work =(.  My household has 8 people in it and I'm trying to get 4 other sims to move in and combine households.  Could someone give me some more advice on how to make this work?  Thanks

What is your latest EP?

[kamiccolo]

Apartment Life.  I've got all the expansions but none of the stuff packs.

[Chaavik]

Okay, a question:

Were you trying to combine a new family with a family of 8 that already lives on an apartment lot or a residential lot?

[kamiccolo]

I have a family of 8 teenagers who already live on a residential lot and I'm trying to make another family of 4 other teenagers move in and combine households with them.

Edit:  I downloaded the userstartup file Squinge posted and it's working now =)

This will really, really help for sims who want to breed pets.  I felt so restricted when I had 5 sims (one of whom was pregnant) and two dogs and wanted some puppies.  This mod will ease that up a bit.

It works great for me.
I had 5 sims and 2 cats and the cats had 4 kittens so the total became 11. Yay!

Now one of the sims rolled a want to have 10 kids and I want to try it so I edited the userStartup.cheat file.
My question is Do I have to or should I press enter after I type/paste each line in? So that there's an empty line between them?

[Chaavik]

You don't have to leave empty lines between the cheats you enter into the userstartup cheat file. The game won't care if you have empty lines in between or even the comment lines between those cheats either.
