This is good stuff and very well organized :)
About the Batuu mission npcs (scientist, scoundrel contact, contraband owner etc.), they all seem to be randomized in appareance and name, except for one: Corra Arrel (First Order defector) always seems to have the same appearence and name, but randomized traits (mine has Loyal, that was added only after JtB released). She was also featured in the gameplay trailer, so I consider her a semi-premade.
That's interesting... Though I didn't look deep into Batuu NPCs because I wanted to get it all done with before my misunderstood deadline.
I can take a look into it more later in the weekend, but yeah, let's see if these forums are going to throw an error of "body too long". I'll have to move High School Years to the next section then, which is the last for now, so no big deal.
So yeah, Semi-Premade is a nice name for these sims: sims that aren't generated once the save is created (like Mortimer Goth for example), but those who are generated mostly the same way once they are needed. We can also consider those Chalet Ghosts (Mimsy and Bernard) to this for example.
Also fun fact: all Batuu NPCs are put in a hidden household. Though I'm beginning to doubt that hidden households are always excluded after Rey appeared in my community space and special sims in a hidden household also having that supposed "no hidden households" filter. Thus I'm shortening it to No Ghosts for the moment...
Still funny to think that out of all service NPCs, Onsen Custodian can be ghost, but they mustn't have died by drowning...
