I'm on Xbox Series X so mod free. The game is definitely generating more Townies. But I get them when going to a public lot, way too many. If my Sim travels and spends time in 1 or 2 worlds/public lots (without social lot traits) I get around 25 new households in OH, Townies that weren't even there on that particular lot. It's unsustainable on console and can contribute to lagging and crashing. I've mentioned it on other threads but I have to clear them out daily so as not to impact my game's stability and performance. I used to only have to do this weekly.
I firmly believe it's time for a Townie toggle.
The townie-generating situation in the game without mods is unacceptable for me because I want my screenshot to have only the Sims that I designed or edited. Don't want to see random ugly sims in the background.
As the game will make townies again to fill the role, I kept some townies with a bit of a makeover (I love the variety of them, so I change as little as possible). But I can't make over them forever if the game is making new unnecessary townies NON-STOP.

That's so crazy! And yes, the game creates some households even though they still do not appear on the lot.

They should do, or at least not make this even worse. I don't want to depend on the mods to prevent them. And console user should have a choice!
