Mod for large households

[Aethuviel]

I am looking around, but it's difficult to find a mod that just does this. Or does a part of nraas do this, if so, where and how?
I have a family with two adults and four children... and the mom has the lifetime wish to have two of all pets. Since it's impossible to have six pets and six sims at the same time, I need a mod to help with this. (No, unfortunately I can't wait for the kids to grow up and move out, since I want to freeze time with this household and keep them as kids.)

Thank you.

How do you keep the kids from growing up? Do you use a mod for that? I'd enjoy having a family where the kids don't age up.

Here's the page on NRaas on how to overstuff a household. There a number of mods that are useful to have for various reasons:

I just turn off the aging in settings. :) It applies to all sims in the neighborhood. I also turned it off and on when I wanted to schedule pregnancies, but not have the kids be too far apart in age. :p

Thank you. This did not work on its own, however. I tried adopting a bunch of pets, but at 10 total in the household, everything else (buying horse, try for baby) was blocked.
So I looked around some more, and it seems the NRAAS setting only affects other NRAAS actions. So I used it to "add sim", where I could force-adopt neighborhood pets. So that worked!

Okay. Of course. I feel stupid for not remembering I can do that. Also, I can give them potions to drink that will revert their age and freeze their age. I guess it's been too long since I've played this game, lol.
