Re: No more random townies spawned after midnight?

@Hamsysincy The game has a culling limit that's currently at 800 Sim (I think, might have changed or I don't have the correct number in mind).

That limit has nothing to do with of how many Sims you set in my household, it's just set for the game.

The number in my households is just how many Sims you can make 'safe' from culling. I don't really know what the game does if you hit the culling limit and have all the families in my households.

You can find more info on culling in this thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-mods-and-custom-content-en/culling-relationship-culling--decay-current-status/2444498

Hi Crinrict,
I don't think I have total of 800 sims under My Households and Other Households but maybe close to ~600 for both.
I think this issue of culling may be related to some mods for adding more sims but I cannot be really sure.
To resolve this issue, I have added No Culling mod into my game for now. I guess we can close this thread if you want but I will re-open it if I see any issue in future.
As usual, thank you for your help. You have been a wonderful support in this forum for many years 🙂

One more question to you @crinrict :
Do you know how the random townies are spawned?
Many years ago i was told that they spawn everyday after midnight but you mention that they are spawned only to fill up a certain role? So I am not very certain now. Thanks again for helping.

@Hamsysincy I thought in Sims 4, townies are generated when needed. So if you go to a cm and the game needs a new barkeeper, it creates one same for alien night and that kind of stuff.

But I don't know the exact circumstances and it's very possible that things changed over time.
