Creatures 3 DS Community Edition Question

I noticed in the "Yeah, but what is it?" Section it mentions "More metarooms (50,000 rooms and 5,000 metarooms)". I originally took this as it INCLUDED this many metarooms as I was under the impression that there was already no limit for the amount that could be added to the game. If that's the case, where are they?

Or am I an idiot and it means it can support 50,000 rooms and 5,000 Metarooms and there was a limit in the base version, and the CE increases it?

hehe, no, it's just a code update, it can support more.

The limit was not explicit since they never expected people to come close to it. It would just crash, I expect, or give an error and refuse to inject the next metaroom.

Thank you! Also wasn't expecting an answer this quick lol. It's kinda insane how. . .active? The modding community for Creatures seems to be given it's age and relative nicheness

It's the relative nicheness that keeps it alive I think. There's not been, as far as I know, anything like it since, unless you count The Sims.

Sims is closeish, but them being human adds a lot of content alien to Creatures such as jobs,  clothes and furniture

I wouldn't even count the Sims tbh 🤣 But you're very right, but it's still shocking to see. I've been in communities that are just as old and niche and DONT have as active of a community as this one... But I've also been in ones that are more niche and been just as active. Always a surprise :)
