New Max saw some action in 2022:

The head count is at 119, as of today (31.12.2022), an increase of 16 towards last year, and the same number I counted in January 2021. This number includes the Roth family, who are still missing.

Since the foundation of town, a total of 248 deaths among residents have happened, with quite a few more of unknown townies who have not been counted (but have tombstones at Gamesend Grounds, too).

107 births during that time shows that since I last counted them in 2019, only 10 babies were born in those two years. This is deliberate, since I still have the big picture in mind, seeing which family line will remain until the end - if that ever comes "naturally" and not because I finally decide to wipe my game clean.

The glitches described last year are still the same, but I still enjoy this town and its Sims, all things considered.

So, what happend in New Max in 2021?

The population declined further and is now down to 103. 

There were a few newcomers, but the mystery of the Roth family's disappearance remains unsolved. Also, every now and then, community lots keep vanishing from where I have placed them.

My custom content is not all available as it should be, either, and from time to time, Sims still change their lifetime wants autonomously.

Townie Caryl Lee is very modern in that he/she has female looks but a male voice; several other Sims can not be fully controled in spite of being in-game born playables.

I have been so frustrated by some of these bugs that I am seriously considering wiping my game completely and start again, but I hesitate after so many years of playing this particular neighbourhood.

Can you believe 2020 is already 19 days "old"?

My annual head count had to wait, as I was not home for New Year's Eve, and wanted to complete the round. I did that yesterday with Candice Walter's first week, and am now ready to compile New Maximiliania's latest stats:

The head count stands at 119 Sims (January 19, 2021). Compare this to the 231 Sims that roamed the streets of New Max in 2009!

We've seen several newcomers since the last count, namely Sims with surnames of people I know in real life, such as Fleig, Seifert, Turner and Walter. A few who otherwise would not have been added to the neighbourhood were allowed to move in because I did not want to stand in the way of 3-bolt-loves; Jihoon Hsu and Brittany Mace are examples. 

The list of deaths and births is ever-growing; I have not counted them this year.

Several community lots and one family (the Roths) have vanished in thin air, it seems; I am working on a reorganisation of all Maxis-made lots in my game, and am positive that the Roths will return some day.

2019 is over, done and dusted - and has been so for 6 days now.
It has taken me until today to get round to my annual head count for New Maximiliania. There are currently 107 playable Sims in the 'hood - 3 more than last year.
The Roths are still lost.
Many of those Sims who originally were teenagers, young adults or adults at the start of the game have gone to the Great Community Lot in the sky. Since the foundation of New Max, 222 have died altogether, with 97 births.
A handful of former townies have become proper residents, by virtue of their surnames being "playable" surnames, such as Love and Smith. I am constantly on the lookout for more.
Best chances for long-term survival have the Capps and the Newsons; there are many of them, with many children. We will see what this year will bring!


The end of 2018 coincides with the end of the current round.
This round was still only about half way through at the last headcount at the end of 2017 (see below). Many more of the original playables have died in the second half, and there were only a few births and a few newcomers in the shape of townies with a "playable" surname; no more adoptions.

A total of 213 deaths can of course not be made up for by 89 births since I started playing New Max, but that was my goal from the beginning: I wanted to see which family names would persist longest, and which ones would disappear.

There are 104 playable Sims in the neighbourhood now. Minus the four members of the mysteriously disappeared Roth household, makes exactly 100 Sims here.
 

The 2017 Head Count for New Maximiliania...
...yields an even lower number than 2016: 124 Sims live in the neighbourhood now.

Many of the older generation have died ("thanks" to me playing often whole groups of them at the Senior Residence), and there were a few deaths by fire; altogether, 188 Sims have passed on since the foundation of New Max.
85 births have happened - is it possible that there were only three babies since 2016?
A handful of newcomers have appeared in other ways: Townies with the same surname as playable Sims have moved in, and one girl was adopted (more or less by mistake).

I am about half way through the current round, and am looking forward to visit with all the Sims still waiting to be played. Whether I will ever get the Roth family back (they have mysteriously disappeared) remains to be seen.


On the last day of 2016...
...New Maximiliania has 148 playable residents, its lowest number ever (which was/is still the intention: Play all Maxis-made playables until all families have run their natural course and see which one remains the longest.).
82 births could not outweigh the 155 deaths that have occured since the founding of the neighbourhood.

There are a handful of playables right now whom I do not play: One is Beaumont DeBateau, the one and only zombie in town. He does not age, he does not die - it is plain boring to play him, especially with the annoying sounds he keeps making and his zombie-way of moving.
Two are former NPC students by the surname Cho. I moved them into a Greek house on campus years ago, meaning to play them through college and move them to New Max for good eventually. So far, they have not been played properly.
And then there are the Roths - mysteriously disappeared family of Xander, his sister Sandra and her husband Brent (formerly Broke). The three of them lived in the original Roth house and still show up in the relationship panels of their friends, but can not be called on the phone, or invited over, and I can not find them anywhere, not even with SimPe. I may have to look for them again, and more thoroughly.

What will 2017 bring to New Maximiliania? No doubt some surprises! I hope you'll stay with me for yet another year.

2016 and the end of Round # 6 (as of 03 July) shows an even lower number of 149 playable Sims in New Maximiliania.
I'll do a more detailed census at the end of 2016/start of 2017.

The 2015 head count shows:
- There are currently 157 playable Sims in New Maximiliania (that's including all playable students). An all time low, but it was to be expected, as so many of the original Maxis-made Sims have died this round, most of them peacefully of old age.
We now have 143 deaths altogether, and even though I thought we had quite a lot of babies this year, my list reveals there were only 6 births - a total of 78 since the foundation of New Max. Can this be correct? I counted twice and can only imagine that I forgot to put some of the babies' names on the list.
Anyway, quite a substantial number of babies have the same Alien father: 22, to be precise. There are also several plantbabies around.

2014 ends for New Maximiliania with the following statistics:
Current head count is at 183 - that is considerably lower than last year (214), and much lower than the record of 239 Sims who populated the neighbourhood in 2011.
A total of 72 births (since foundation of the 'hood in 2008) could not counteract the 109 deaths that have occurred since that time.

The 2013 total stats are:
64 Sims have died since New Maximiliania was founded. With 63 births in total, that means the population should be at 230, as opposed to the 231 when the game started. Strangely enough, though, on doing a manual headcount, I find that there are only 214 Sims plus 1 Servo living in the entire 'hood (main neighbourhood + sub-hoods + campus).
Well, no matter how that came about, that's the current number of Sims I play, and I am looking forward to many more Sim-hours, days, weeks and years spent in New Maximiliania!

As of October 2013 (end of Round 4, start of Round 5), the stats for New Max are:
Since the foundation of the town, 54 deaths have occurred, outweighed by 57 births. If my calculation is correct, then there should currently be a total of 242 Sims living in the entire neighbourhood, campus, downtown and shopping district included.

Here are the stats of 2011:
239 Sims live here, pets not counting
There have been 21 deaths and 45 births.

The 2010 stats were:
- 230 Sims living in New Max
- 21 deaths, 4 of which were premature deaths by fire (Carolina Curious and Lucy Burb, John Mole and Regan Capp)
- 38 births.

In 2009, it was like this:
231 Sims lived in the neighbourhood.
13 deaths occurred, well outweighed by 32 births.
There had been 10 weddings so far (some more Sims have simply moved in together and are not - yet - married), while 18 Sims had reached Permanent Platinum.
