BO - Unlimited Sims
x 44
Do you hate the 8-sims-per-lot limit? Most likely, you do!
Do you have LotFullOfSims installed to overcome that limit? Probably!
Now there's a better way: remove LotFullOfSims, and install this mod in stead!
It's tiny, it works for ALL games, and it does NOT conflict with ANYTHING!
And here is why you want to use this mod instead of "LotFullOfSims":
Normally, the unmodded game keeps track of the number of sims and/or pets living on any lot by running a BHAV name "Lot - Full of Sims?". If the lot contains eight sims, or six sims and up to four pets, this BHAV tells the game that the lot is full. As a result, when you click a visitor, you will find no menu option for asking them to move in. Or two sims might TFB a million times and never get pregnant.
The "LotFullOfSims" mod changes several of the BHAVs that are called by "Lot - Full of Sims?" in order to manipulate the result just so new additions are posible. Any sim can move in, and TFB-ing sims can get pregnant as if there is plenty of room. However, the changes that the LFoS mod makes, cause conflicts with several other mods, including TwoJeffs' "PregForAllGenders" mod.
"Unlimited Sims" is much simpler, though. Instead of altering other BHAVs, it changes the main BHAV directly. Now, without calling any other BHAVs and thus ignoring the actualy sims/pets living here, "Lot - Full of Sims?" simply reports that only one poor, sad, lonely sim lives here without any pets and that, as a result, there is room aplenty to add more sims and/or pets. Now, there are NO conflicts with any other mods. Clean and simple.
This way, you can just use TwoJeffs' PregForAllGenders instead of AncientHighway's version, which means that you can install BO - Alien Experiments - P4A Override (which doesn't work with AH's mod), if you want to
Any settings you may have in your UserStartup.cheat file to accommodate LotFullOfSims, are still useful for adding families from neighborhood view. So you can leave them where they are.

Hi @Letizia,
Like ALL mods, this one belongs in the folder "Downloads". I assume that you are new to the game, so you will most likely have the Ultimate Collection. Also, I will then assume that this is the first time you downloaded a mod.
That means that you should go to the folder "My Documents/Origin/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection" and then make a new folder named "Downloads" with a CAPITAL D.
Then you need to use an archiver program such as Winzip to unpack the downloaded file, and put the file "BO - Unlimited Sims.package" in that Downloads folder.
Then, after starting the game, you should get a warning that mod files has been found, and a question if you want the mods to be activated in the game. You should answer YES.
After that, the mod should work in the game. But you would only notice this, if you have a household with 8 sims, and one of the sims gets pregnant. If the baby sim is born normally, even though the house seems to be full, then the mod is working.
If you want to be able to move sims from other households into the same house in the neighborhood screen, even if the house already has eight inhabitants, you will need to go back to the folder "My Documents/Origin/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection", then open the folder "Config", and find a file named "userStartup.cheat". If that file does not yet exist, you should make a new file with that name. In that file, you should add three extra lines with the following text:
After that, moving more than eight sims into a house should work as well.

First of all thank you for the answer, you're really nice.
I played years ago at The sims but I lost many files and due to language problems I have never downloaded many hack files.
I did everything you told me and on the file you said you have this.
How do I change those codes?
uintProp maxTotalSims 200
uintProp maxTotalHumans 200
uintProp maxTotalPets 199
I'm sorry about the stupid question, but this is the first time I've done this.
