How many Sim are you playing as? I'm just playing myself sim but I was thinking of adding1 or 2 more.

I've been keeping my households to 1-3 sims so far, otherwise it's a bit overwhelming. I find community lots to be particularly stressful to go to if I have more than 1 or 2 sims, as I frequently want the sims I've left at home to be doing something actually productive(not just generic "skilling" or "taking care of needs"...I want them to be working on the painting project, or drawing at the children's art table, or taking care of the garden) and I can't do that since jumping back and forth seems to "reset" the sims from their tasks. I feel like, in the sims 4, you have to go places as a household, rather than how I always played in the sims 3 with each family member off in a corner of the neighborhood doing their own thing.

14 sims in 5 households plus 2 more in the prison household (but I´ll pull premades into this to make the eight full) - and I don´t even have the game yet. I´m itching to play the characters - such is the magic of starting anew But should I decide not to get the game after all, I really need to recreate these sims for Sims2.
