When mine get too large, I let sims only have 1 baby each. Seeing as in my game I have a rule - every sim must have a biological offspring. I just love seeing how genetics pass on. 1 baby each (which includes if sims divorce, unless their new partner doesn't have an offspring) takes a bit of time to work because it's not that noticable until they're older - but eventually you start having loads of empty houses that were once filled as sims move in with their husband/wife, leaving their parents alone in the house and eventually leading to an empty house when they pass.
I also managed to accidentally decrease my population dramatically by accidental plague... erm.... that wasn't that fun... Literally all sims died of sickness at least once and had to be saved from the grim reaper. It was terrible. Probably not as terrible if I hadn't had been playing with mine and all my friends' simselves, and the reason everyone was ill was because one sim had accidentally made the mystery disease and spread it to everyone - that sim was my boyfriends simself, oopsie.
