This is probably just me nitpicking, but has anyone else noticed that, since CL, townies with japanese sounding names tend to be always blonde? I noticed that their other facial features usually match the japanese name. I think the devs meant to make their hair always black, but something went wrong. It happens too much in my game for it to be just a coincidence. It's not a huge deal, but....
I think it's a huge deal. It's annoying that the new generated sims, since CL was released, that all the names are of asian and middle eastern descent no matter what they look like. It's overkill, and as you have experienced, it often doesn't match. I go in to CAS to change their name. I recently had a blonde girl who had an asian named and changed it to Heather McDonald. haha, because she clearly was a blonde, white chick, not an asian.

I am really enjoying the wider range of ethnic types appearing in the game since CL, but I too have found that the townie generation function doesn't always get things right. I have seen some really implausible combinations of name and ethnic appearance and yes, it does bother me.
Like some other players, I periodically go through all the NPC households in my game and edit them in CAS. I don't bother to use full edit mode, but I fix what I can to make the characters' appearance match their names (eg, change skin & hair color and features) and I change their clothes and body shape to something one would be more likely to find in RL. My game seems to have an inexplicable preference for certain clothing items (the maxi skirt is one of them) and these seem to show up all over the place, ad nauseam, regardless of suitability. Also, I have found lately that most of my townie women are impossibly fat, with enormous stomachs. I know that obesity is on the rise in RL, but this is going a bit too far...

Hi! Maybe you can answer a question for me? Sometimes there will be someone walking around in my town that is so terrible looking that I honestly stop the game and go to manage worlds to fix or delete them, but then I can't find them in the "other households" edit area. There are times that I don't care, but sometimes they are tooooo awful. Am I crazy? Or not looking in the right place? Shouldn't everybody be there? Actually, now that I think about it, sometimes they are actual NPCs, not just townies, and I can't find them there. I feel like I'm missing some vital piece of information, lol
