Next I tested the copy of my save where I remembered to put down a playground this time 😆 I had my sim go there a couple of times during the week, but only for a couple of hours each time, and no new households were generated. The only children and toddlers who came there to play were from the premade households. During the week she was also asked out on a date to the bar in Glimmerbrook and that generated a bunch of new townies. However, all of them were single households. So I sent her back to the playground during the weekend and Sunday I made her stay until the kids left (sorry, I’m awful at testing, because I get caught up in the gameplay and my sim had a lot of visitors all week long 🫣😌). Once again it was just the premade kids that spawned and no new multi-sim households were generated.
I saw that you had asked to test first on a playground without any lot traits and then with any traits that would make children more likely to spawn, but there aren’t really any except for teen neighborhood which makes teens more likely to spawn. Most of the lot traits either boost certain skills or a particular moodlet. So I didn’t test with any added lot traits.
