Re: [FIXED] NPC Households have same structure/name
It's not much of a randomizer than if they all just look and wear the same thing...

I've made a very interesting observation recently that might help in at least getting to the bottom of the red/blonde hair issue. I installed a mod that completely removes CL names from the name pool for experimental purposes, and I noticed that even without any of these names showing up, certain combinations of physical traits are still very prevalent. My townies are, for a huge chunk of the time, being generated with red/blonde hair and a narrow eye shape. There is also still a large prevalence of townies with a darker skin tone and red/blonde hair. This is what I think is going on:
- Red/blonde hair will almost always appear on randomly-generated sims with a narrow eye shape or darker skintone.
- Sims that have a narrow eye shape will typically be assigned Japanese names by the townie randomizer, while Sims with a darker skintone will typically be assigned a Middle Eastern name.
- As a result, Sims with these names will almost always have red or blonde hair.
Basically, red/blonde hair doesn't seem to be tied to certain names, but rather to certain physical characteristics. This was further proven to me by randomizing Sims in CAS. Lo and behold, a good chunk of the randomized Sims were red/blonde-haired with a narrow eye shape, or red/blonde-haired with a darker skintone. This might also explain why Sims generated with Indian names, by my observation, usually only have black hair. They don't typically spawn with a narrow eye shape.
