Somebody mentioined a glitch but it might be rezolved now. Try doing this: Make a family of 8, put them in the chosen house. Then make another family you want into the house. Put then in a different house. Now get a sim and go to inventory clikc on the phone and click move. Now move then to the other house. (Sorry if this does not work, another person on Sims said that they had a glitch where it let them do that. But Sims might have fixed it by now.)

Im not sure whether you can but you might be able to make a smaller house next to your main one if you have enough land.

Ok.. First create your family of 8 well..
for example im making a sims series including a school so.. this helps A LOT so Then make your next family or whatever and move them into a house (preferably the house or lot next door) Go back to the house you wish to live at and hold Ctrl+Shift+C *DO NOT INCLUDE THE +* Type in the Cheat exaclty as spelled...
Testingcheatsenabled true. And vistit your second familys home and click Shift On On Sim at a time After clicking the option "Move in" or "Force Move Into Home"
And then you flip because One of your people will move out of the list on the left of your active household Just press The spacebar intill you see them again.
And Voila! 8+ Members in a Active Household ;D

I had a household with more than 8 and I wanted to move them too...but instead of having them move I went into edit town mode and evicted them from their house...then i just moved them from the clipboard into the house i wanted them to move into and voila! now of course, evicting them makes it so that you have to change households and all of their wishes are deleted, but meh...they'll think of more! hope this helps answer your question...

KK well I dunno if it works but make as many people as you want than go into gameplay (make sure the families are moved into houses) than press ctrl shift c then type in "testingcheatsenabled true" then hold down shift and click on the other household that shud be living next door to you then you can click make part of household.

Okay, I have 5 Pets and 3 Sims. It says that my cat cannot become pregnant again (even though she is), so is that a cap for pets and sims or can i still have more sims?

Ok so this is what you do-

1.hold Shift+Ctrl then press
2. A blue box should then appear at the top
3.type in - testingcheatsenabled true
4. When you see a person you want in your family hold shift and click on them
5.one of the options should be add to active household
6.click that and it's added to your family

I did that and it took one of my sims off and I had no control over them anymore
Added 14th Feb 2012, ID #115051, by Guest
 
that's true. The oldest sim(pic on top) disappears, lives in the house as normal, but you have no control over the sim. You have to watch them and if they do something u don't like, get a controlled sim to go tell them to stop it. It would be cool to have 16 people (two rows of pics). I have 2 different families and each has 8 and it's very easy for me to handle. Kinda getting bored of not being able to increase my difficulty though.
Added 27th Feb 2012, ID #118819, by Guest
 
You can control that sim, actually. Just right click them. You may not see their picture on the side to select from, but you still can select them through right clicking the sim him/herself.
Added 14th Mar 2012, ID #122894, by Guest
 
But that doesn't allow you to have more family members.. One family member may get deleted if you already have eight people..
I have done this cheat many times if I can't get a Sim to move into the person I want..
So, thank you.. And also to people who see this comment, I think you will find this answer helpful if you would like to do the same thing as me.

Actually make a family and move them into you're prefered home. Go to edit town and make a new family or use a previous family and merge them with your family I've done it

This will not work if you are trying to put more than 8 sims in one household. It caps you at 8.

You can make those people in 2 houses and then using testingCheatsEnabled true make them move to one of those houses

Ok ive done this before, when you have the people youve selected to move out, theres a button that says make active household or sumthin like that, you click it if you want that household, but if you want a bunch of people i understand if your confused. Wiki has a website with it only about sims and all the expansion packs. Check it out! Hope i helped!

Make a mom move her in to a house then make a dad move him in to a different house. Play one and find the other one you made mom or dad which ever one you are not playing then have a kid.
Then go find a then move in with her after the baby is born move out with the kid. Have another baby and leave it to her.
Then have another In till her family has 7 people.
Then move In there will be 9 counting your kid!
Then move out with 3 other kids have baby's a till her family has 7, 7 so you can move in, so you keep going a till you and your mom have 8 kids each ( well... Do your mom 7 kids do you can move in )
Then your have 15 kids 😊 hope you enjoyed

Another idea if you would like to control a bigger family is to have them in two different households and keep going from the town to edit town mode? (just an idea)

I like making mom having a bunch of kids, so what I do is make the lifespan for a sims into short mode, or medium if you want. Then I made 2 house right next to each other. Then once a kid got to a young adult I move them right next door, so my mom can still have babies, and still see her kid. So she can have many kids, you just can't control them. If you want the mom to have twins, or triplets all you need to do is get apples or watermelons. 1 apple=I boy, 2 apples= twin boys, 3 apples triplet boys, and the exact same thing but with watermelons for girls. You need to eat them all in a row when she has a baby belly. You would also need to watch the kids tv AND dance to the kids station to get better luck.Or you could use the lifetime wish fertile treatment thing. I hope I helped

It only works when you have seven sims. So far there isn't a cheat. People are developing one for a possible release date of June 2013-January 2015 so fingers crossed anyway hope that helped. Personally if I even have three or four sims and at least two have jobs and one is younger than a child and free will is off and no cheats I can't bear it!
