Sorry for the delay, but testing took a while 🫠 And better make a cup of tea or coffee, because this is going to be another long post 😉
As for my game having generated households with more than one sim, I don’t think this happened because of the latest event, some of these households just happened to be generated during, and I have a slight feeling that it might have been due to the bug where if any of the sims in your household would use the computer, a household with a style influencer would be generated. But I haven’t checked if they are in this line of work and I don’t have MCCC installed at the moment so can’t use that to check either. On the other hand, the sims in the household in my son’s save abolutely love the computer and will autonomously use it almost all the time, and there weren’t any variation in the types of households with more than one sim in his save apart from those generated through Jungle Adventure.
So on to my tests. First off, I started back in the copy of my son’s event save again to see if I could get other/more households to generate apart from the 6 with a single mother, a teen daughter and a child son. I sent the boy from the played household back to the playground on Sunday in game, however, I can’t remember the exact time, but I think it was right after lunch. At first it was just the premade children, Vivian Lewis’ adopted toddler and the 6 newly generated random boys taking turns, but sometime between 6 and 8 PM (maybe between 7 and 8 PM, it was quite close to 8 PM when all the children leave) a new kid spawned. I checked the unplayed households and sure enough yet another household consisting of a single mother, a female teen and a male child had been generated. During the ingame week, I sent the boy back to the playground a couple of times after school, and the adults to the salon, the bar and the museum in Oasis Springs (they live in Willow Creek) and no new multi-sim households were generated. Then when it became Saturday, I had the boy go to the playground again where he spent almost the entire day. And once again towards the end of the time slot where children will hang out at the playground, a new boy spawned, same type of household as the rest of them, but there are now 8 of these randomly generated households in this save. I was tempted to play through another week and see if I could get another one or two of them to spawn during the weekend, but it would most likely just have been the same type of household again instead of a new constellation.
