There was never a rhyme or reason when I played this game. I had children in the bars, elderly in the night clubs, one teen (and that is the total of Sims) in parks, YAs in the lounges, kids and adults in musems, etc. I saw Sims lined up (at the portals) often for them to spawn into the world in WC (since my Sim lived beside the library) and it would one day be a long line of teens, then a long line of kids, then a long line of elders. It has never made sense in this game. In the other games it made sense to me since I knew if I took my Sim to a lot of commuity lots then played another Sim that first Sim would show up.
