HiI have just had to go around ever world again evicting sims I do not want in my worlds yet I have the do not fill empty houses ticked in game? Am I doing something wrong or is this another bug?

You have to have a mod that overrides that "fill empty homes" setting then. I always found MCCC to be hyper aggressive at filling homes and impregnating sims. Are you using any mods like that?

Hi @Kerrigan I have a few mods including MCCC so i am wondering if you are saying MCCC is overriding my game choices with regards this issue?

Yeah, mods can affect the population settings quite a bit. I had initially gotten MCCC because when I originally installed Vampires there were just too many of them and MCCC helped control that but the base settings filled all houses and there were a ton of pregnancies

This was my issue with mcc. I had to fill every house with 8 sims just to stop the houses from filling with sims I didn't want and having babies. I looked through all the settings and couldn't find a way to change it. Hopefully someone else knows.

Thanks for the input @Babykittyjade I also hope someone might know and answer to this as it's driving me nuts lol

can anyone explain how to stop the game filling empty lots with sims?

Uncheck the "Fill Empty Homes" option.

Hi @dearie_blossom & @catmando830

The game options is un-checked supposedly not to allow the filling of empty houses with sims but it's still doing it this which is why I asked because I thought it was supposed to stop?

Hi @Kerrigan

Trust me to not really think of this as I use MCCC in quite a basic way not understanding every feature so I am wondering if you could point me in the right direction of this mod to stop it overriding my in game request to not fill empty homes?
