    The lot maximum is usually 20 so you should get a few more but there are things that can lower the total, I think.

    Maybe you had a mod before that upped the total ?

Hi again! Sorry it took me so long to get back; I had a busy week. 

So it's been two weeks in game, and I visited every community lot and stayed for multiple hours on each. Good news, some sims have spawned, but it still doesn't seem to be as many as there usually is. I went to Selvadorada and the number of sims there seems a little low as well, although I don't know there area well so that might the normal amount.

At this point, I'm thinking that there might be something wrong here. I wish I didn't have the habit of purging my saves (I only like having one save bc of a bad experience with TS3), so I would have something to compare to and, I could know I wasn't going crazy..

Thanks for coming back

Going to tag this as needs input for now to see if others experience something similar.

Could you attach your config.log file (found in documents)

    Thank you.

    Yeah, don't see anything that could explain the issue you're seeing.

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    I would be more than happy to share my save, but do you have a link that explains how? I couldn't figure out how on my own.

    So, I took a look at your save and judging by the household manager, you have a decent amount of NPCs created by the game (homeless).

    Also when I go to a lot, there's plenty of NPCs coming (not necessarily newly created ones but neighborhood Sims, so the game doesn't need anymore ?)

    Can you do a head count (on non-city lot) of how many Sims you have ?I'm currently at the park in Oasis Springs and see 14 Sims milling about and new ones are still coming.

    Sorry it took me til now to get back; I just saw your reply.

    I went to the Oasis Spring park as well and got around 14 Sims too.

    If this is the avg. amount, maybe I was getting too many NPCs before?? Like I said, I don't have any other saves to compare to, so I honestly can't say.

    I've never used mods, so I don't know, maybe just faulty memory? I wouldn't put it pass myself. But if I'm getting normal amounts now, I think we can put this to bed. 

    Thank you for all your help and time! You really went above and beyond with your help, so I really appreciate it!! I'm going to mark this as solved.
