Townies Spawned from?

I have what I think is a simple question. As of the last few updates, with the changes to household management, I am wondering which side (My Households, Other Households) do townies get picked from?...

    Hi @twmuse!
    Townies get picked from other households!
    I made lots of families with green hair (easy too see) and instead of moving into a house with them I x:ed the action, and they were directly put in "other households". Afterwards they show up all over as townies, even if they don't have a home  🙂

    I know the answer is a bit late, but if you're still wondering, I'm pretty sure this is how it works.

    Thanks @CMeki

    I did some test like that also and had townies show up from both "other household" and "My Households" so I guess it is just random. I wish the Sims had a setting to only pick from pre-made sims, after a long life game some townies get really strange.

      So true! I guess if you create enough sims yourself to fill the town sim quota there might not be any weird random sims. If you re-create sims as soon as others die? A lot of work for it though 😉
