By any chance could we see some much-needed improvements to the townie generator in the future? The townie generator hasn't exactly been optimal for a while now, and it's been in that state since City Living came out almost five years ago. Snowy Escape has made it even worse, with Japanese archetype townies totally dominating the townie pool, even when not playing in San Myshuno or Mt. Komorebi.
Not only that, but the townie generator also has some notable fixations. For example, Japanese and Moroccan archetype townies spawn with red or blonde hair the vast majority of the time, which doesn't seem right to me. It seems like darker hair colors should be more common with them, but they're very noticeably in the minority. The generator also loves single parent families, bonus points if the parent and child look nothing like each other at all.
What I'm saying is, I'd love to see actual diversity with the townie generator, rather than one archetype dominating the townie pool at any given time. Ideally, shouldn't we be seeing an even mix of all available archetypes? It's also pretty disappointing that the only way to get townies with Spanish names to spawn is to play in Selvadorada. I'd love it if we could see those names more often in other worlds. And I'd like to finally see a fix for red/blonde hair being excessively attached to certain archetypes as well.
Thanks for listening!
