Sims 4 stopping townie spawn

I get that the game needs to generate Sims to fill certain roles (mail carriers, cashiers, etc.), but at some point, it needs to stop. I manually edited over 50 Sims, and yet the game keeps generating new ones, even if you visit the same areas.

We need better tools to manage the population. The randomness of the world is only interesting when it creates unique people and situations. Right now, it's just generating disposable Sims.

Absolutely agree. I’m astonished this has not been addressed already! 

I totally agree there should be a limit or perhaps allow us to decide in how many sims should be generated .I respect everybody who delete them because of their unique appearance ,

As for me i really don't care much about how they look myself if i may say so (sorry for being blunt) it is always about what kind of function these simmers will have in my world.

Most of the time i have found myself  that i am forced to delete a chunk of them because i can't find a single thing for them to do.

Right now it feels like that function is mass producing and it's not so much from the gallery which is surprising because i really thought we were going to get more from the gallery.

It's fun when you do find sims from the gallery walking around in the city because they got more then their traits to lean on 🙂

It would be a wonderful thing if we could get an option in the future that allows us to control the situation better.

Ps an edit i have taken notice after  have been allowing the game to run on it's own for a week as in allowing the townies to spawn ( without having me clearing out the list that is ) the function it seem to be stuck on 3 or 4 different kind of profiles and the most popular profile is the one with criminal/evil traits. When i checked the list yesterday i had more then 40 new townies (if not more) that was purely criminals and i got baffled by this. I can imagine having a small number of purely evil beings in my sim world just for the sake of having a variety but this was a lil' bit to much. 🙂

It's annoying. Especially when I play my legacy game, since I can't stop those ugly townies from infiltrating my family tree.

I allow my legacy Sims to beget as many children as they want, and I choose the next successor based on their progeny's traits (both physical and personality). I only play the active legacy though, so all un-chosen siblings get sent into 'Other Households' to make their own stories.

Now, while I may not actively play my reject descendants, I still like to check up on my tree every now and again to see how it's filling out. And, of course, my legacy's DNA is mixed with the ugliest townies around, with hardly a mention of any of the hot Sims I spent hours making.

My poor gene pool. No regard for pedigree whatsoever ...

I totally agree. It should be optional, whether or not townies appear on their own.
I personally would like to make an entire Sim world of just my Sims. 

like if you could turn off the town spawning or whatever you wanna call it and have an option to just create your own townies, it would be awesome! 
Kinda like how you can demolish any house or building on the map to make your own, I wanna make my own people for my world too. 

We are def trying to do the same thing! I make so many sims and they are over ran by all the townies. It’s such a shame!
