I had 5 but got bored, deleted them all, and now only have 2. It works much better for me, as I feel less like I'm doing the same thing over & over again every day. I have no idea how I'd find the time for double figures!

I was able to start a thread without knowing it. Haha! I think 10 families would be my limit. I have to study for a very important exam and I haven't had the time to do so because I always end up spending my day with my families so 10 would be it for me. I'm not so good with time management.

i put my foot in it!!! lol i just had to get 5 more! now i have 15! AHHHHHHHHH lol im loving it though!!!!

Since so many others are playing lots of games I've started a new game in a fresh slot, so I'm now playing the grand total of four.

good 4 u Arnie!! BTW ive got the hiccups. lol i just thought that was amusing. i actually DO!

I had 10 families, but gave up my second user name so lost 5 of them. I feel sort of guilty when they have their dishes done and house all cleaned and in order, then I look around at my own house. Maybe I can hire one of those kids to keep up my house so I can play on the computer all day--oh wait, I already do that!

I have 5 families.

I have five going right now. I'm thinking of making more, but not sure yet.

This may sound stupid, but do you have to have a computer or a new copy of the game for each 5 families, or...? I just started my 4th. One I am running for my hubby, but I do most of the work.

I have one main family which I keep updated in my avvie, one rainbow-haired test family which I fell in love with and another test family to help with my mods.

petralamb: When someone wants to make another 5 families, they'll make another copy of the game on their computer with a different name..there's a lot of great suggestions in this thread.
