Help! my neighborhood is over populated!?

Question

My sims 2, Pleasantview, is very overpopulated! i had 2 familys that had 10 kids and now they are all grown up and are having kids of heir own!

What do i do? i dont want to delete any familys and ive been trying to limit the nimber of kids in each family to only 2 or less.

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

This is the problem with letting the sims have so many kids.  Either go in for a lot of maiden aunts and uncles, kill off the spares or make them into townies.  

Whatever you do, DO NOT move the sims out of the neighbourhood by packing up the lots (really, really Bad Idea), putting the lived in lots in the lot bin and moving them to a sub-hood or deleting families from the sim or lot bin.  If you do any of these things, especially more than once, it is likely you will solve your problem by making the neighbourhood unplayable or the sims seriously corrupted.  This will force you to start somewhere new with more space but I'd guess that is not what you want.

Answer 2

start a fire

dont stop till their under control

Answer 3

when there is no more space, either build more houses, or if there is no space, then you will have to move on to another town.
