NPCs In The Neighborhoods

Do you see all of your NPC households out and about? I have quite a few households that I never run into when I'm visiting community lots, festivals, etc. Some of them I forget are even in the game because I never see them just walking by. I don't always see the same sims but some I just don't see at all. I've visited all of their households and all are friends with my sim. These are all sims and families that I've placed in homes but never play and also a few of the game townies. Anyone else have sims they never see out and about?

    I see this (or rather, don't see it, lol) with my played households. I play a whole lot of Sims and households so that I can see them out and about to meet each other, but some never seem to appear anywhere and some who do, don't make sense.

    I suspect it might be a game mechanic to prevent overload and save corruption, it probably works together with the culling system. As we've seen in the past, Sims games can get wonky, corrupted and bloated, so I think it's possibly that way for this reason. I wonder, though, if playing some for a certain length of time and interacting more with other specific Sims will get them integrated enough to become priority.

    After you make enough sims, you'll start seeing them wander around the world. Also what usually happens after you make a sim, but then if you go ahead and play another sim/household, usually the first visitor will be that sim you just made! At least that always happens with me! Also been seeing the kids of my sims wander around!
