How can you set Nraas mods op so you can still breed your pets if there are already 6 in your household? I want my sim to have a pair (m/f) of cats, dogs and horses and still be able to breed them! I found a lot of old topics where questions like this were answered with links to the old site, but they no longer work. Specifically I only want to change the limit for the active household, the town settings in SP are all set to 0 to stop the mod from providing every single household with a pet.

Okay, there's two things to address here.

1 - The mod that allows pregnancies and births to continue taking place when a household would otherwise be deemed full is Woohooer. See this FAQ. The item was written with human sims in mind, but it also applies to the limits on animals per household. MasterController doesn't have any say in the matter unless you are specifically using MC commands to add sims and pregnancies.

2 - An SP Maximum Size limit of 0 means there is no limit, if this works the way I remember it. You might try using something like -1 there. But be careful to not ever let that limit, whichever one you use, apply to what is now your active household if you ever switch out to play a different one, even for only a short while, as otherwise the overstuffed (with animals) household will become undefined and bad things will happen.

Remember that Caste and Household Options will always trump Town Options, so this probably just becomes a matter of adding an exception for the household in question. Or a few exceptions if we are talking about more than one such household at the same time.

As for 1, I will check Woohooers current settings, and as for 2, I merely tried to not have pets added to the non-active households. I don't recall what I changed where, because I simply import my old settings into every new save, but it worked! I also don't change active households ever, so I will probably have a look in to exceptions too. Thanks for pointing me in an active direction!

Anything 0 or even less than 0 is actually unlimited. If you want to limit, go higher than 0.. like 1. I should probably change that to make negative values here actually mean none cause at the moment it's not possible. Although of course disabling something like pet adoption would means no one will get them so kind of moot as well.

I stand corrected, then. Actually I'm sitting down, but that should work too.

A limit of 1 does make sense, unless of course the other households are meant to be able to have 2 or 3 pets but the player just doesn't want them to breed with each other or acquire more in any SP progression kind of way.

The thing is, when it was set to 1 the mod would stuff a pet in Every Single Household that didn't have one yet. I didn't want my whole world stuffed with them, so I changed some settings and now the mod stopped doing that. It probably wasn't the maximum size though. I will still test the breeding with 6 animals present and see if all these mods made it possible! Thanks!
