Default Household Size Increase?
I am officially addicted to mods. That is all. Moving on is there a mod for TSM that increases the household limit? I like spitting out kids on my Monarch and it would be cool of I could keep more around instead of switching them off to boarding school.

Shimrod has a mod available that increases the family size to 8.
(I changed it to 14 a while back, since I was testing something else that's in the same xml anyway. I've yet to have more than 3 kids since I did that though, so I have no idea if it works, or if there'll be some kind of cut-off limit on it.)

Never had any taken away though, although I did find the strings for the choices.
Since I haven't seen it in the game, can you tell me, does it give you a choice of where to send them to, or does the game randomly select their destination for you?

Awesome. Thank you! If I get to a point in-game where I have to send someone way I'll let you know :D

With Shimrod's mod in my game this is what happened. When my Queen had her 4th child a message popped up asking me to pick a child to move out and gave me four options something like Culinary School, Whale Hunt, some other school and I think a bear hunt. I chose one of the sons and sent him on the whale hunt. I then saved and quit. When I came back to my game all of the children were still there but the Queen doesn't seem able to get pregnant. I'll keep trying.

That being said, would it be possible to share the mod with the family size set to 14 or a larger number? I'd like my queen to have a number of children before she dies.

Thanks!

Nice to know what's meant to happen, thank you.
I exceeded the limit before Shimrod made his mod for it. At the time I just expected the oldest child to be removed to the village or something, I didn't get any pop-ups and none of the kids left. I think the household must have been glitched. I've never exceeded the limit since then. I'd like to see the options pop up at least once though.

I've uploaded all the options in a txt document below, for anyone that's interested to see all the options. I don't want to list them directly here incase it spoils it for someone.

I'm wondering now if the options you get are random, or if they're dependent on the parent's status or something.

I've uploaded family size 19 here.
I chose 19 since Queen Anne had the most children, as far as I know. She had 17.....and including 2 parents, family size is 19. I can't remember why I originally chose 14, seems quite random lol.

Just a quick update, my Queen ended up with a 5th pregnancy but then the one son I had chosen to send to the whale hunt that hadn't left yet couldn't be found in town. I eventually had to divorce my Queen from her husband and send two kids to live with him before the lost son would return to town but he still doesn't live with the queen. My game then freaked out and crashed so I'll start playing around with your mod installed and see if I reach the same issue. Will let you know.
