How manys sims can you make on Sims 3?

I have The Sims 3. It is either 7, 8 , or 9. If you want to make sure go to create a sim and then just make random sims till you cant make anymore and count them.

Please answer my question ( my username is queenmeme123)

you can create 8 sims in create a sim in sims 3

It's 8 because the couple I made had six kids and it said that this is the maximum my household could be.
