ok...i have 8 people in the house, 2 have a baby..baby grows into a little girl, however, there is no window for her so i dont know needs etc. the school bus comes but she wont go to school. then the game started crashing. any ideas?

Eek! I assume you didn't save after she became a child? When you go back into that house, have an adult or two move out or get invited into another family. Then your game shouldn't crash when she becomes a child.

Is there a limit to the amount of people you can have in a house hold?
I thought it was 8....

I seem to remember something like that, Kelly.

I thought so... So maybe whenever those 2 babies grown to a child, that would make actually 10 people in the house... I bet that is why it crashes then....

I never actually had 8 people, I had my sim and the limit in dogs..LOL.. which I think I remember 7 dogs:)

I never had that many, the most I've ever had was 4 and it was all I could do to work that family without going nuts!

I had an 8 person family once, loosely based on the show 8's Enough.

I think they had 2 adults and 2 kids leave at 9, 2 people work at 10, one person worked at 6 pm and one at 10 pm.

I made sure they went to bed in the order they had to go to work and queued things up while they were sleeping.

When the 10 pm worker got home, he'd cook breakfast and start Servo. The 9 am crew would get up, turn off Servo, eat, potty, shower, etc. and leave. By the time they were done eating, the 10 am crew would get up and eat, followed by bathroom stuff after the first group left.

Then the 6 pm guy would invite people over and spend the day soaking in the hot tub and making friends while Servo cleaned and gardened. The 10 pm guy would sleep most of the day, but invite people over in the late afternoon or hang out with people who didn't click with the 6 pm guy.

That's the thing I hate most in S2... you can't queue stuff up for when you get up or after work, you gotta sit right there and tell them what to do.

You can't? I can.....

A very few times, it's "stuck." Most times it gets interrupted by the kid greeting the parent or the toddler trying to wake mommy...
