Can I stop my world from auto-populating?

No the creation of non-played sims occurs everytime you go through a loading screen, including when you load into your household to play them. There could be a mod to stop this, but I haven't seen one that does that.
Thank you. I have always said the generation of new townies had nothing at all to do with the head count reaching 180 (not in my game) and now I know it is when I send Sims through a loading screen. That is so lame. But thank you for confirmimg my own theory. It seems to me they get culled and new ones generated in my game whether I had reached the head count or not. So, this theory makes more sense doesn't it?
ETA: My Sims have never stayed home in any of these games, I may send one Sim through a dozen loading screens before they ever go back home. Wow, no wonder I never have the same townies and they are gone and replaced faster than my head spins.
I think you're both right.
