@crinrict That is correct. Removed MCCC, deleted all unplayed households, and the occult spawned back at an alarming rate.
I did start an entirely new save file (new world, new sim) and again deleted all of the inactive households. I have to leave the house in a few, so I was only able to monitor about 2 sims days' worth of spawning.
How often do occult sims spawn anyway? Because while I've only looked at about 16 generated sims thus far, the ratio STILL seems like it's off. Out of the 16 I looked at, 1 was a spellcaster, 2 were mermaids, 2 were werewolves, and 3 were aliens. 50% is still occult ... And my brand new sim hasn't ventured outside of Willow Creek. I took her to the club once, to spawn some NPCs, but other than that, she's been on her home lot.
I have to venture into RL for a bit, but I'll be back later to do some more sleuthing. I've never shared a save file before, so if you're thinking I need to send one, shoot me a link to a tutorial or something.
