I have 9 people and 2 cats. One person is not listed in the portraits on the side. I thought awesome mod handled this, but I guess not? I have awesome mod because I wanted more than 8 sims per household. [I will probably end up doubling to 16 or 20 sims. Yes, it will get pretty nuts.] Though, I may resort to moving sims out.

Anyways, is there an easy way to display more portraits or something? Not being able to actively select a sim [unless i right click them in person] can get annoying.

In addition to Master Controller, twallan has a Portrait Panel mod to display more than eight portraits.  It's here.  You can combine it with Master Controller and Woohooer to also allow for more than eight sims per household, if there's a conflict with Awesome.

I have the portrait mod, but I read it conflicts with awesome mod.

edit, I have it but its not installed

Wait, Could I just install Woohooer with Portrait Panel and remove awesome mod all together? I only have awesome because it unlocks the 8 sim limit. I know MC does it but it reads its limited to nraas specific menu actions, not woohoo or try for baby. If I can id like to have more than 8 sims per household, get them via try for baby/woohoo, and see all of the portraits, with nraas mods only, and remove awesome all-together.

Yes, you could remove Awesome and just use Nraas mods.  Portrait Panel allows for the additional portraits, Woohooer allows Try for Baby even if the household is full, Master Controller lets you add sims to a full household yourself.  It's the combination I use without any problems.   :)  You can use Mover, too, to overstuff households via the neighborhood screen, but I find the others are sufficient.

This might help in terms of all the mods that unlock certain overstuffed household capabilities: I want to play a household with more than eight sims in it.

Don't want to keep starting new topics, so i'll ask here.

What is it with story progression and all of the fathers in town leaving and paying child support? I got like 10 males [even families i made personally, then stopped playing] who have left their families and now have to pay 100$ child support checks every week. Mortimer Goth is like living in a shack and he is broke unable to pay child support..wtf happened there? lol!

If they drop their spouse (or significant other), and there is a child, they need to pay. The question is why do they all dump thier girlfriends and wives? Depending on the town (in Bridgeport, everyone seems to have committment issues), there are a lot of break-ups. I ws personally peaved, when my active sim didn't get child support!
