Do consoles generate townies differently?

To be fair, I haven't played the PC version in a while, so maybe it's just me and maybe PC does the same, but does anyone else seem to suffer from a lack of townies on console? I feel like no matter where I send my Sims, it's always the same few townies that show up; walking around town, in the park, at the bars, etc. I know different ones will generate over time and that I can make my own, and I have all my saves set to fill empty homes, but it's just kinda... Bothersome when you want to do something like a Legacy challenge with a townie, but there really aren't many to choose from. It kinda dissuades me from wanting to play. Anyone else?

    I mean its not as busy as the sims 2 was with townies.However seems to be just the same as the PC version!

    one thing I have toticed for me is. I have more than I had a week ago.


    so my towns got busy the longer I have played the same save. I have been playing that save since mid december tho.


  • I get curious so I go to mange households and go to the unplayed households list once a day and about 3 new sims are added each time I look.
  • I'm not sure how much it helps, but I sometimes delete multiple lot types so I have just one library, gym, etc.
  • I had this issue in PC where the same people would always show up wherever I go.

    So far, I've noticed the same thing on console.

    Hmm, glad to know it's not just me. Maybe I just need to play the saves for longer or something.
