How to have seven people in a family
First of all, your family has to have five members in it. It doesn't matter if they're sims or pets, though obviously you have to have at least one sim!
Take one of your sims to the town square, and get them to meet someone who you know has at least one pet, and become best friends with them.
Then you have to go back to your house, and invite them over using a phone or a computer.
If you have a high enough friendship with them, then you will be able to choose special, then ask to move in, from the list of interactions.
They should then agree to move in, bringing their pet with them.
You now (hopefully!) have seven sims/pets in your family.
PS. When you hold down L2 to change the member of your family that is currently selected, there will still only be six people to choose from, work out which sim/pet is not there, then go through all the others, there will be one that when they are selected, you should be able to hold down L2, and select the missing sim/pet.
PPS. This cheat does work most of the time, but if it doesn't work the first time you try it, just try it again.
I hope all of this makes sense!
