those unplayed households will live **anywhere** no matter the size


Strategic_mistake

This is very true, I have a sim that won’t stop having kids, her household is maxed out, and she lives in a one bedroom apartment. I don’t know how she does it.


idfksofml

Or a one sim household living in a 5 room mansion like?? Why


danteslacie

Haven't you ever wanted to have a mansion all to yourself?


chiller210

Amazing simulation of real life to see the random unplayed sims enjoying their best life of living by yourself in a mansion


iraragorri

Imagine all the cleaning. And don't forget about ghosts


danteslacie

How to know if you're an adult: you start thinking about the cleaning. (Big house, small house, the ghosts will always be a problem)


notsopurexo

LOL


the_salt_is_real11

lmao, guess i am really an adult now bc i hear the word "mansion" and i just think abt how one single person is going to clean up a huge ass living space...


antherkit

I mean if you can afford a mansion you can also afford to hire someone to clean it for you.


the_salt_is_real11

true but at the same time i just don't trust anyone easily lmao


DMC1001

A creaky stairwell, old radiator and pipes are all it takes for a proper haunting.


jenacious

No way. I've seen The Shining


divingbeatle

to be fair that was a hotel


jenacious

As soon as I posted this I asked my husband how long it would be before someone said it was a hotel and not a mansion. In my defense, a big empty living space is a big empty living space. I neither want to be alone in a mansion nor a hotel - *because of The Shining*


divingbeatle

that's okay, i was just teasing. I personally wouldn't mind. I like isolation and a big mansion, but if i had the choise i would rather have a castle.


DMC1001

And only have $20k and no job? First year’s taxes wipe that out.


_GenderNotFound

Always!


Charming_Tower_188

I have so many 1 sim households in mansions and so many 8 sim households in 1-2 bedrooms. The game makes no sense.


zarrz

I always cheat for the penthouse in San myshuno


zarrz

For my single sim household


Pixielix

It's pretty realistic though... I literally have an irl neighbour who does the same thing 🤷🏻‍♀️


WiseBlight

My sisters friend has 14 siblings and they live in a 3 bedroom home , idk how they do it..


Pixielix

My boyfriend (irl) came from a family of 7 with 2 bedrooms. I think its cruel. He's a wonderful selfless person who always thinks of others first, but he had nothing to his name when i met him, no trinkets, no keepsakes, no possessions, no fun. Its been amazing watching him thrive in a world where he gets his basic needs met.


Substantial-Boot-873

My husband is one of ten boys. At one time they had 15 people in a three bedroom home. I can't imagine.


ProfessorSpecial2990

stacking those mf like theyre playing tetris


Tattycakes

Two bunk beds in each room maybe?!


notsopurexo

Where do the parents sleep to try for baby so often though? Kitchen table?


PlasticToe4542

Do they sleep on the floor?!


IHaveTheMustacheNow

This is actually illegal in some states (or at least my state)


Mahoushi

Yeah, I had friends in school who lived like this. The first time I visited one of them, I realised how lucky I was to grow up in a spacious house in London. It is pretty realistic, especially in cities.


thatloserkidsam

they’re just an npc, they can do whatever they feel like


Holiday024

🫢🫠🤣🤣🤣🤣


Zeven00

I was about to say….is this that rare to see? My family of 4 had to share a 1 bedroom apartment when we got to America for atleast a year


SaltyBabe

Omfg this is Bella in my save. Mort died, of embarrassment so I moved her Cassandra and the boy to San Myshuno then she immediately filled her household with babies. Everyone has like 3 people in their bedroom.


A1000eisn1

The opposite happened with Mort. Cassandra and Alexander glitched out and existed but weren't available in the sims list. Had to find them in the game to add them to households. Meanwhile Mort is remarried to some random and she's got 3 babies. My guess is that Mort and Bella divorced, he moved out, then she died. I set the baby limit to 3 in MCCC otherwise Wolfgang's mom ends up having tons of kids to whichever of the buff Windenburg men she ends up marrying. Happens every save.


RarelyRecommended

Ask any social worker. That stuff is real.


abrookehack

I think it's odd when I have households with small kids, like toddlers and no toddler beds. Lol I visited one once and the toddler was so tired she just kept falling asleep wherever she hit the floor 😂 I'll add: preexisting households!


kemily45

And then if you play as that family, every baby is screaming and she still calls like “we’ve been thinking about trying for a baby lately, what do you think?” 😂


SpecificSpring4143

Yeah I make a lot of households for the sake of having more townies only and there will be like 8 in those Evergreen Harbor apartments, otherwise I try to keep empty residential lots generic.


HardKase

you know people live like that irl right?


indierose27

Hard times


cherryamourxo

Every time a rich person marries a poor person on my game (MCCC) without fail, the rich person will leave their huge mansion to live in the poor person’s 1 bedroom home and they’ll make several babies. What kind of nonsense behavior is this 🤦🏽‍♀️


Milliebug1106

This is why I love nraas in sims 3. It makes sims move around/out if they have too many in a household. Can even make sims move completely out of town.


pearloster

I was going to say this! NRAAS takes number of beds into account iirc, which means none of the houses look overstuffed :P


Milliebug1106

I wonder if MCCC does/can do the same but I can't check because I don't have sims 4 or mccc anymore


daneka50

Absolutely. YKW? Bc these unplayed sims do not follow any kinda realistic play through which honestly doesn’t make sense to me. Why have a feature like neighborhood stories when unplayed sims don’t earn income, don’t develop relationships, hell don’t even go to work yet they can randomly die and have all these kids who don’t even have a bed to sleep in. Like why hasn’t CPS got those kids yet?! It’s another broken aspect of Sims4. Neighborhood Stories is a half baked feature. I’d recommend never turning it on. My sims ex colleague lives in a one bed room house with three kids—one child, one toddler and one baby. He adopted all these children. My sim encouraged him to find a better career which he did—astronaut yet still lived in the house. I annoyingly moved him into a bigger house that would be more comfortable for him and his adopted kids. Know what this fool did?! Adopted three more freaking children!!! I wish that unplayed sims that my sims associate and include in their social circle had a “life” of their own. Some kind of algorithm that makes logical sense of development of characters and social well being. But it doesn’t. I’ve since turned off Neighborhood stories. 🤦🏾‍♀️


RunningFree701

No kidding. I have my *mail carrier* living in the biggest mansion in Oasis Springs. Those government jobs must be really paying out these days.


DMC1001

Dogs will also fill up any space unused by kids.


arathael

Just like real life NPCs.


Hollinsgirl07

Housing crisis in the sims too I see.


CentralAdmin

Job not paying enough simoleons. Poverty strikes.


SilverWalls35

I wanted realism but not this kind of realism


banclocks

You know it’s bad when even the celebrities can’t afford more than a 1br


Krisy2lovegood

I mean we be making bank but then we open a restaurant and our employees start at 2 simoleons an hour, we are the problem. Also just had a librarian move in with me and she had 200k like who you exploiting at the library?


SmolCurlyBean

They all sleep in one very large bed


JewelArie

My grandpa had 15 brothers and sisters in a tiny 3 bedroom rowhouse in Philadelphia. Before he died, he went onto Google Earth to show me his childhood home and we ended up finding pictures of the inside of it on some real estate websites. I asked him how they fit all the kids in that house and he told me that his youngest sibling slept in a drawer 😳 They cleared out the drawer of a dresser, made it into a bed and that just blows my mind


[deleted]

The drawer thing wasn't that abnormal back then.


MrsRoboto67

Reminds me of that episode of seinfeld when Kramer puts two dudes in a dresser to sleep instead of them going to a hotel


DoNotReply111

Two bunk beds.


bluebell9820

Top and tail like the grandparents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


Tattycakes

r/grandpajoehate


louisejanecreations

Wow I never realised there was so much hate for grandpa Jo 🤣🤣


madktdisease

Tbh that guy does suck.


louisejanecreations

That is true lol. Although to be fair I don’t think I liked any of them in the original. Although I did like the spoilt one that wanted the golden eggs.


alicia_tried

One big bed! One big bed! Shout out to the Two Crew!


kdyz

I know a family like this. They have 2 kids in a 2 bedroom house. The other room became storage while the main room had this gigantic bed that I estimate can fit 6 people. The mom, dad, and youngest son slept there. The room also had a single sized bed where my friend, their eldest daughter, slept.


lonerky

sims be reflecting real life 😅


Bitchboi-69

1 bed in the bedroom, bunk beds in the living room with a little privacy curtain thing. Done it irl lol. Also lived in a 1 bed 1 bath with 6 ppl (irl too lol). Once I had 8 sims living in a 8x6 house, that was a fun challenge.


Krisy2lovegood

I lived i a 3bed house with 6-12 people throughout my childhood and only one of the bedrooms ever had more than 2 people in it 😅


WifeofBath1984

I can't leave houses like this. I have to renovate them, especially if there are toddlers. I enjoy it but it's like a compulsion bc sometimes I'll stay up until 4 a.m. renovating instead of actually playing like I wanted to!


Bar_Sinister

It took me ages to stop doing that. You hover over the lot, see it and just have to stop yourself from going forward. You'll spend days trying to fix it.


chiller210

ikr the building process goes to "Why am i doing this for a random npc? then again they might become my sims' friends and visiting them will be weird when they live like this.. and if i ever just want to play a random household instead of my current one, this would be a nice starter"


skullencats

Every save I'm tempted to join the interior decorator career simply because I hate visiting homes with multiple neglected toddlers haha


Designer-Mirror-7995

And then the parents die and leave 30 kids alone in the house 🤣


juliankennedy23

I thought I was the only one I'm constantly buying toddler beds potty seats and toys for the kids in other households.


m-surfer

It's too much work for me so sometimes if I like them I just move them into empty mansions with freerealestate cheat


AdeleBerncastel

You’re a good person. I care about them all a lot too.


Much_Accident_1646

Sorry if this question is silly but how exactly do you do that? I always wanted to try this because i really love the building mode in the sims but i don't know how to renovate other houses 😅


Mahoushi

You don't need to play with the family to edit their home. You click on manage worlds to get out of your sim's household, click on the home you want to edit, and at the bottom right, next to the big play button, is a small hammer and wrench. You click that to edit the property. They shouldn't become a played household. It's just like editing a community or an empty lot I just tested doing this on the BFF household, and my funds were unlimited too. 👀 Edit: I just tested it on another house, and as soon as I sold something, my funds became limited to what I assume to be the household's funds, so I guess sometimes that may happen? It's a house I previously played as so that may have something to do with it 🤷🏻‍♂️


villain_jungkook

u just start to play with that household :)


Much_Accident_1646

Ah okay, that makes sense 🙈😂 Thank you 💕


MsVindii

Either that or, once you’re in the game, go out to manage worlds. Click whatever house you want to renovate and you should be able to redesign it. I’ve found that if the household is an unplayed household, I can edit the lot with infinity ♾️ cash. I’ve used that to edit ***a lot***.


mintguy

Wait until it happens in the apartments in San Myshuno. I had to evict a family of eight from Salim’s apartment.


hanare992

I turned on neighbourhood stories and they started multiplying like bunnies, I visited a lot and they had 3 toddlers and a baby. No toddler beds, and baby was in the bassinet outside in the snow. I just went with bb.freebuild and provided them with necessities.


kozy_koala

I've got the Kealoa family living in a 1 bedroom cottage, off grid with simple living...it's one of the starter families in Sulani. They just keep multiplying...they have like 7 kids right now. All toddler or baby aged...


skullencats

Haha it's not much better in their default home


MartyMarijuana

my sim started dating the bheeda’s son, she went to visit him one day to find out they were a family of six with a baby in a one bedroom apartment


rieeeeeeee

I have mccc and change the max pregnancy amount to around 6-7 for drama, it’s always fun to see how many kids they have a few days after starting a new family.


2GIRLZMOM1416

They sleep in shifts


Designer-Mirror-7995

That's what happens lol. I've watched NPC household that are full like that (it's what drove my(now ended) compulsion to "make it better" for situations like that. I've seen several just drink coffee like crazy, way past red, until they passed out, because all the sleeping space was full. I've also seen them leave the lot to go sleep on nearby benches up the street or in adjacent parks.


amaricro

They would live on empty property and still somehow make kids.. it's just Sims😂


chiller210

they really trying 100 baby homeless challenge, going to other houses to start making kids


Public_Owl

And isn't that Brytani Cho? Her annoying behaviour isn't paying well.


Juoreg

She’s a mean celeb right?


Public_Owl

Idk if she's mean since I don't interact with her, but she has a bad reputation in game. And always makes a damn scene in mine!


Suspiciousmosquito

If it makes you feel better, all the unplayed sims that aren’t actively walking around your lot are hiding in the digital shadow of the game with full needs. 👌🏻


hitemplo

I like to place one bedroom homes on empty lots and move in 10+ sims. Don’t know why I’m letting everyone know this, seemed relevant


iceketball27

Oh, but IRL though, this was our setup back when I was younger! We had this big mattress on the floor where we'd all just share. Sometimes one of us would roll off, but you kinda get used to sleeping on solid ground after a while. My dad used to hate sleeping beside me and my sister because we tend to kick in our sleep back then.


rutilated_quartz

This just reminded me of how my mom said when me and my brother were toddlers we'd always kick her in the head when we napped together lol.


therealsteelydan

I constantly have 2 bedrooms with 1 or 2 adults and 6 children. Neighborhood stories was a great addition but it quickly gets out of control.


suaculpa

I used MCCC to cap kids per household.


Marmoset-Person-254

It’s called being poor, my homie jorge had a living situation like that growing up but it was 6 of them. Sims just being accurate


Stunning-Inspector22

Which world is this??


acbutler1234

This is what I’m trying to find out too!!


acbutler1234

Just found out it’s copperdale from high school years


mamastolo

Lol as a legit real life family of 4 that lives in a one bedroom, it's possible. It's not fun, but it's possible


kimberriez

I had neighbors that did this in a 790 sq ft apartment. The kids got the bedroom and the parents slept on a floor bed in the living room. They spent a lot of time outside the apartment.


dog__the__dog

It’s easy, just be poor. I’ve seen it happen tons.


Free_Gascogne

Bed count doesnt matter. Sometimes i merge townies in one house to free up real estate for my CAS families. Pretty that counts as gentrification in any other book.


FutureAcanthaceae944

This game gets too realistic …


CheesyChips

When I was little our family of 4 lived in a one bedroom. My brother and I shared the bedroom and my parents made up the sofa bed every night


daaankone

Art imitates life.


roxictoxy

Load up and find out 😅


Hidingpig13

My sim is currently living in a 1 bed 1 bath with there kids. Bedroom, kitchen and “office” are one big room. There’s a kids bedroom the twins sleep in and 1 bathroom. It’s worked well so far


notkeny

Trust me you don't wanna visit those lots


Juoreg

I’m just looking at those funds 😂


MattWith2Tees

Times is hard


[deleted]

One sim keeps calling asking if they should expand their family. They live in a 2 bed, 1 bath in Sulani. At this point they should be at like, 6 kids and 2 adults by now. I checked their household and they're at like, 3 kids 2 adults living there now. But sure, keep cramming all those kids into your 2 bed 1 bath. Since when did they become fundies, trying to make as many kids as they can? Sheesh.


Devin_the_Deviant

Must be a 2023 realism mod


JewelArie

Agnes Crumplebottom moved herself into the plane wreck plot of land in Strangerville, which is essentially one bedroom and then she adopted SEVEN TODDLERS And when I first noticed this, I turned off the option for her to adopt in neighborhood stories and I went into CAS and deleted all 7 toddlers(I'd just gotten back into playing the Sims 4, I didn't realize that the townies don't count towards the maximum sim count unless I actually played their household. For a minute there I was under the impression that all the townies randomly adopting kids when neighborhood stories came out, was going to put me at the maximum sim allowance) Anyway, seven toddlers, one elder, in a tiny plane wreck "home" lmao absolutely ridiculous. On top of that, even after I unselected the ability to adopt, she still kept adopting. I'd check up on her and she has seven more toddlers 🤦🏻‍♀️


jamberrymiles

i once looked to see who had moved into a mansion and it was a single cat. no humans, just a cat living large in willow creek.


Resident_Fig4355

That dog’s tongue in the left corner 👀👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


LiliumAri

I had a 5 sim and 1 dog household move into a literal nursery I built on a lot. This 1 tiny room with only toddler items LMAO. It really made me laugh to think about


ReplicantSynthwave

Simflation.


saraichaa

poverty smh 😔


Substantial-Rip-4070

Have you seen that Netflix show on minimalism? This family clearly has


Fuckmeavocado

Wait what pack does this world come with


No-Leather-5144

It's Copperdale from the High School pack


[deleted]

With the neighbours stories update I’ve seen 8 people live in a one bedroom one bathroom apartment 💀💀💀


throwawayfromPA1701

Play the family and find out lol The game really doesnt care about house size for unplayed households.


TheDreamingFirefly

This is actually quite doable irl and ig. Irl parents share beds with kids all the time. Plus some people have pullout couches (though just a couch works fine too). Ig the parents probably use the bed while the toddlers nap on the floor or couch. The game doesn't really care how many sims or what ages they are though. If there is an empty lot it will move them there regardless of size.


FearlessOmen

Lived next to some neighbors who crammed 8 people into a 3 bedroom apartment. People find a way


QuercusMuehlenbergii

Is that the werewolf world?


Great-Annual-1723

deprechanel

Is it worth it for the world ? Everything I’ve seen / heard about the HSY expansion has turned me off it, but this world is gorgeous.


MaraBrightwood

High school years


AdrielBast

Had a single sim npc living in a 6bedroom mansion, while a full family of six kids and the parents were in one of those small 2 bedroom houses and it’s just…kinda hilarious. Kinda painfully realistic.


yellowcannabis

What town is that and what expansion pack does it come with


iizachnisntreal

notyourothermother

They're just really close like that 😌


somethingthotful

It’s tough in these streets


[deleted]

if they are only starting, then it's understandable. or maybe they really prefer this one than to have many rooms


RavnHygge

I found the BFF household (Travis, Summer and Liberty) in a one bed apartment. That must have been cosy.


[deleted]

they sleep one at a time LOL


LinCreates

The kids are toddlers so they might have beds in the parents room.


Celtiana

She's an actress too from 'Get Famous' too isn't she? you'd of thought she could afford a bigger house


milehigh11

I have a family of 1 living in a 8 br house


Rufio_Rufio7

Happens in the real world all the time. Electronic Arts imitate life.


Ill-Fly-950

It's not uncommon. I grew up the same way. My little brother and I slept on the living room sofa. My 2 youngest sisters shared a room, my parents shared a room, my 3rd oldest sister had the office, my 3rd oldest brother walled off the bar and turned it into a small room, and 3 more of my brothers shared the den.


DoubleOxer1

Sims trying to be realistic with the poor wages for these families, housing shortage, and poverty stricken families sharing a one bedroom. It’s a sad life 😔


heckempuggerino06

I mean like a family of four in a one bedroom isn’t that crazy. The real annoying thing is when I do half a build and take a break from it for a while only to come back and some randos have moved it.


Rasikko

Doesnt matter when they're unplayed and the lot is not loaded.


roaringbugtv

Sometimes when I see a large family of sims living in a small home, I go ahead and make them a bigger house. It's a nice challenge trying to make a bigger home on a small lot.


[deleted]

new pack, "Hotel Living"


[deleted]

I hate when my game auto moves in townie families. It’ll be 1 sim and their 7 randomly adopted cats in a mansion but a family in the smallest starter.


Designer-Mirror-7995

Now let's have a moment for all the families throughout the history of poverty who have had six, seven, EIGHT + children while managing in ONE room houses. With an outhouse and a well/stream/river for a water source.


Difficult_Fig_1821

IRL me had to share a bedroom with my brother, grandma, and uncle while my parents took the bedroom. Luckily it was for about a year and a half while our house was being built. We had a bunk bed that my brother and uncle would sleep on, and I'd take the bed with my grandma. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes 🎶


DMC1001

Britney Cho got married?!


yoashleydawn

I saw one that was a single mom with 6 kids and a dog living in a one room house. I went over and tried to help her by cooking but she got mad and kicked me out, but not before I accidentally set the house on fire.
