That's a limit somewhere in the region of 1.8 x 10^19 or 18 billion billions. Any computer will run out of memory and probably CTD way before you can even claim to make noteworthy use of that range. So there is no ultimate limit. It depends on your computer and your ability to squeeze additional sims in your 'hood. And you will probably get the infamous 12/13/16/69/0815/4711/90210 errors at some point. All "soft" limits though.
