I'm on my 7th generation in one and my 6th in another. I had one family who refused to have kids and no orphans were left at the door so I had to start that game over and now it's on it's 3rd generation.
I'm having a similar thing happen now. Up until this generation, all my families have had anywhere between 3 and 6 children but this time they've only had the one. I've been really busy the last few days and so I haven't been able to check on them as much as I would usually so I didn't get them together like normal. So now the one child they have had has gone to college and being in their late 40's its unlikely they'll have anymore. I don't want to do the baby booster thing though, I'd rather it all be 'a la natural'.
