SOLVED: The 2 guest problem
I suddenly can't invite more than two guests to a party.I've read that this number is related to how good your computer runs or something but this doesn't make sense for me. I used to play on a very old PC and it would allow more guests even if it crashed afterwards and I'm pretty sure I was able to invite more when I got my new PC but not anymore.
I already took out all downloads and no change.
I used that one cheat (int prop something in neighborhood view) but it didn't work. The graphicsrules.sgr says that the max sims is 8 so I don't know what to change there.
Any other tips that I missed?

Instead of typing it in Neighborhood view, maybe try to add it to your userStartup.cheat file in your Config folder.
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 20
because...I have mine set to 20, set yours to what you'd like

Yeah, that doesn't work either. The game somehow doesn't recognize my userstartup file (I tried before with different cheats)

The most likely reason your game does not load your userStartup.cheat file is that it not named properly or that it has an error in the first line. It must be named "userStartup.cheat" no quotes and you should make sure that you have extensions showing and that is the file's entire name and that it does not have a .txt extension that was hidden. Also if there is an error in one of the lines the game will not process the subsequent lines contained in the userStartup.cheat file, it is probably best to use someone's verified userStartup.cheat file and that any modifications by you are carefully tested.

If your userstartup.cheat file is small enough, you can copy/paste it here and we'll take a look at it to make sure everything is spelled right, has proper syntax, etc.
There is also this old thread where we all shared our userstartup.cheat files. There's five pages of stuff here, so I recommend that you start at the end and work your way backward.

Hey there, thanks for your tips but I still wasn't able to solve it. The name is correct, it ends on .cheat and its type is also "Cheat file". I think it came with that one light mod if that's possible. All the lines I have are those:
intProp maxTotalSims 50
intProp maxTotalHumans 35
intProp maxTotalPets
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 10
boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true
intProp maxTotalSims 50
intProp maxTotalHumans 35
intProp maxTotalPets
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 10
boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true

You should have a number after pets and your command is wrong (see the "u"). Here's mine
uintProp maxTotalSims 14
uintProp maxTotalHumans 14
uintProp maxTotalPets 6
IntProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 13
and a link to my whole one that is working

Make sure it's in the Config folder
On another note, your numbers seem odd to me. Do you intend to have up to 40 sims living in a household?

Finally, thank you so much!
I copied the lines from some other thread, don't know where, so I didn't think about the numbers at all - I in fact don't need 40 sims in my household.
I just copied your lines and now it's working - I can invite more sims! Thank you!
