Put a "Stop Generating Random Townies" Button in the settings
Random townies in the sims are very annoying, i don't like ugly sims and it keeps crashing my game.

Changing the way townies are generated should be priority 1 for the devs. It is INSANE that we get hundreds of randos. Just use the same townies for these roles!!! Or better yet, just NPC's! They cause the game too lag even on a high gaming PC. The way the devs design it IS the bug.
I'm on one of my sims kicks lately, but I'm about to quit due to the townies. I always end up forgetting how annoying they are. I decided I wanted to play strangerville again, but the game spawns SO MANY unnecessary townies. The game already generated enough scientists, military, conspiracy peeps. Why does the game continue to spawn more? I have about 20+ of each strangerville townie. Why doesn't the game reuse the already generated townies, it's so frustrating.
- @ItsNaviana I cull them about once a week. I weed it down to single figures, at least under 100 and also give some of the more randomly attired ones a glow up, if they have become friends of any of my played Sims or if I've got them in stores or food stalls, uni groups for example.
It's amazing how they respawn though! But I'm quite ruthless with the old delete button. Take that, person in short shorts, ski mask and eyeball ring... delete! Then I play a festival and there seems to be loads more of them. I didn't mind the "fill empty homes" game option though, but that seemed to vanish quite some time ago.
I'm on Console so can't use mods.
