Please give us a townie pool feature

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, simsplayer818​ ​ . I play on PC myself, so I don’t have direct experience with the limitations on console, but I really appreciate you explaining just how severe the Townie generation issue can get on that platform. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be when deleting Townies ends up causing even more to spawn, each one looking stranger than the last.

Even on PC, I’ve felt how overwhelming it can get, and I agree that a lot of the randomly generated Townies look terrible and completely break immersion, I always try to keep up with deleting them or editing them. It's annoying when you spend time creating or downloading Sims that fit your vision, and suddenly a Sim dressed like they got lost between six different fashion packs and a Halloween costume party shows up. I'm so tired of it!!

Another possible part of a solution could be a feature that lets us assign specific Sims to key NPC roles — like mail carriers, handypeople, maids, bartenders, etc. I wouldn’t necessarily need that feature for its own sake, but it would be a practical way to stop the game from constantly spawning more random NPCs. And many of us probably already have favourite Sims we’d rather see in those roles anyway. 

I’m sure there are many other threads about this too, but the more people speak up, the better chance we have of change.
