Townies, CAS, NPC's & Fashion

there should be a option to shift click a sim and set them as a determined NPC's - a lot of simmers will micro-manage their world including NPC's for their storylines and the lengths I have gone to as a vanilla player to only have them completely show up in not even a thing i have spent hours on let alone dripping in cas items rages to me to a degree where i turn off my game for days.

  • For example I made households specifically for granite falls to put in there for my household a background family i dressed them completely for the weather and as I felt that type of family would have been seen if they were vacationing in that world, however when I loaded in to play with the family in granite falls, every single person was walking around in outdoor retreat wear. I can appreciate that at least they were wearing items from the pack, but it is very annoying considering I had made families specifically for the storyline to vacation there in specific wear.

I would love a option to select that townies are staying in their home world. as a vanilla player I do not use mods. I drop down in the settings menu could work well since i know MCCC and several other modders have figured out a way to do this, it may be in interest to connect with those modders to figure out how they did it to find a way to code it into the game.

  • For example my sims will go to El Salvadorada but why is Geoffery Landgraab there? Doesnt he have a job? it takes away so much from the story line

Townie fashion and manequins, I should have the option to style manequins and save them to my library in a new option such as in game outfits, similar to lot traits when you save the game the outfits can be tagged with a option such as everyday + world etc. This way when the game goes to generate a townies it can pull from the outfits i have approved of. Again i think MCCC has managed this as well as several other modders, so it may be worthwild to collaborate with them to figure out how to implement this into the games coding. However, If i am micromanaging my game and have filled the world with enough townies that i could mark as NPC DJ or Barista etc through a new feature, then there would be no need to invest time and money into this option.

  • If I have the option to label my own NPC for multiple roles such as Barista and Food Vendor etc, I would expect the game to pull them for any lot requiring to load them. I feel the townies being pulled every single time is creating more problems from the game, so much that even by culling townies once a month it is overwhelming and there are way too many. I know there is a post in the forums that explains how to set skills etc for each individual townies for each role in each pack and its exhausting thinking about the work involved in that, please give the option to create these NPC's from the gallery and label them into my library for the game to pull 
  • for example if I want to play the acting career then tell me all the NPC's that need to be created for that role and allow me to make them and set them in cas. Even if what I am asking for is so difficult please give the option to set the skills from CAS so that the NPC's can remain unplayed.

I think the hashtag system isint working out as well as it was intended to, i think there should be drop downs such as lot type, lot size etc.

The CAS options are very overwhelming, I tend to just give styled outfits for background sims everytime. Please give the option to stylize my own outfits to add to this category. Also side note incase i forget dine out will not allow me to save new created outfits ever. 

These are the most pressing and aggravating issues in for townies npc's and fashion for me. I will have another post for CAS as I am going through all aspects of the game that desperately need a face lift. It's almost 2026 if EA has decided that they dont want to make a sims 5 its time to seriously re-work the foundation of this game because its getting worse and unplayable - I am a vanilla player.
