if the game at least checked for available townies instead of churning them out anyway,this issue wouldn't exist at all
I agree! I hate the NPCs and townies that are automatically added to the game! They are so annoying.. most are aliens and really ugly sims 😂 I hate to keep having to delete them only for MORE to automatically be added to the game! Please give us an option to turn off adding NPC characters!!
Yeah, I have MCCC set to import townies from my tray so they'll be less hideous. I don't know why otherwise every single one of them RNGs mismatched clothes/illogical combinations of items/every conceivable accessory possible, but... good grief. (Actually I do, and it's because the RNG clothing algorithm is... more complicated than you might think and therefore the existing one produces hideousness most of the time.)
The problem with MCCC tray import is that if you marry one the game will spawn a doppleganger. 😉 ("Oh hey, Samantha Jones doesn't exist any more, let's spawn a new Samantha Jones because we need a barfly!" Uh, Samantha Jones married my Sim and is now Samantha Smith and it's kind of confusing to have an identical Samantha running around...)
(That said, they also get pulled in with random traits and random jobs.)
There are mods that are supposed to stop NPC generation but it looks like the one that is most often referred to as working is behind a paywall and I'm unwilling to support that practice.
