Is there a way to prevent empty (townie) houses?
My favorite way of playing this game is via legacy challenges however there is a thorn in my side which ends up wrecking the fun a little, it's the random emptying of townie houses as time goes by. UGH! this kills me, it's so time-consuming fixing this.
I hit a stage in my challenge, usually 7-8 gen deep, where I have to start cleaning up all the neighborhoods. Lots of single children living in houses by themselves or single townies living in 6+ bedroom homes, or townies who want to wear all the things while all having the same greyish clay skin tone, but, because of autonomy aging/death/moving there are also a stack of homes that are empty of furniture which prevents new townies moving in. So, for every one of them I need to get into the plot, go into build mode, demolish, open library, replonk the furnished option down. If it was one or two it would be annoying but when you're dealing with a dozen plus homes, it's just so tedious.
Is there a way to disable this happening to un-played household homes? or a mod that will stop them moving with furniture or dying and having the furniture go?
If not.
How do you tackle this? What do you do to make it less boring/frustrating??
Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
