What's wrong with having an option to disable it for those of us who don't see that as the 'fun' of the game?

I agree with MandysAMess - I like to have my worlds 'just so' and spend hours placing the families and building the relationships - just for the whole thing to be messed up with sore-thumb randoms! And option to disable it would make it fair for everyone.

Yay, yea same with me. I make all of my sims & have a little story for the entire bunch of them. I'd rather see less sims walking around than randoms.

I second this. I hate random generated townies.

I'd rather have to be able to make my own Sim for each role than have random ones. It makes it more fun that way.

Is it possible to make sims that don't live in any houses live in your neighboorhood to replace the randomly generated ones? Because if not this option and the OPs idea should cone together.

Yes, you can house any Sims you make. You can also makes Sims and leave them homeless, as the Not in World Sims.

For a while there was a mod that reduced townie generation by the game; I think it stopped working with the GTW expansion. It couldn't completely stop townie generation, though. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was interested. Not sure if it's possible to redo that mod.

The mod still works to some extend. It cannot stop the spawns of townies required by get to work (cooworker and some customers), but it stops the townies required by the game for community lots an OR. By the way, I had the culling problem only once when using this mod, and was caused by me (too many Sims from the gallery)

I'm so tired of townies spawning how much does this game need to fill a few spots the second I makeover them and play the game there's another dozen ugly townies again cant the game use the ones it has. Give me 20 30 40 townies I don't care just give me the option to turn off spawning of new ones.
