Someone on Reddit the other day drew my attention to this and it's been a huge game changer. MCCC now has the option to force the game to use saved Sims from your library instead of constantly auto-generating new ones. I'm not sure how long this option has been there, but I've used MCCC for years and I had absolutely no idea. I spend a ridiculous amount of game time editing auto generated townies, I even have a save where I've edited every EA townie's cold/hot weather clothing because auto-generated outfits drive me insane.All you have to do is click on a computer, select MC Command Center>MC Population>Populating Settings>Import Tray Settings>Import Tray Percent. Then change that value to 100% if you want to get red of all auto-generated sims for good. While you are in the Import Tray Settings, you may want to set 'Include Gender Options' to disabled (I found when it was enabled during play testing it was pulling mostly female sims), and set 'Include Clothing' to enabled to prevent crazy outfits. Then just go to the gallery and save a bunch of sims you like to your library and you're good to go. I just wanted to share for all the people who are perfectionists like me and want every sim in their game to not look like a hot mess. :sweat_smile: :grimace: What would we do without MC Command Center?

It's pretty great. You just keep your library stocked with subjectively good looking Sims and you will notice a drastic reduction in pear shaped townies with pink hair and green eyebrows wearing one of each item in CAS. Unless of course that is your definition of good looking.

Does it keep their traits or give them random ones?

It also doesn't pull in the whole family, only single sims. So, if you have a sister and brother, they won't be related in the new save that MCCC pulled them in (if both are pulled in) and could, potentially, end up married with babies. Also, there is a feature to only use sims in your library with a certain hashtag or to skip sims with a certain hashtag. I don't use this feature, so I'm not 100% sure how it works. Of course, this may be a feature in the upcoming free release of MCCC, I have patron, so I have the pre-release copies of the mod. It's always best to read over the change log of MCCC when you update, there is always exciting new nuggets in there. Deaderpool works hard to give us an amazing mod and he is always improving and expanding on it.Just a side note, there is also a feature coming to let us copy makeup (and outfits I believe) from one category/sim to the next. Exciting things coming to MCCC.

I'm not 100% sure. I play tested for a bit to see if it worked and did things that typically pull in auto-generated sims such as hiring services, going to an active career, going to a restaurant, etc and I did not notice that it pulled any duplicates.

I just tested it, it looks like it does randomize traits and changes their age sometimes. It just pulls their physical appearance, outfits, and names.

I discover the feature month ago, but then it keep generating almost the same sim over and over, like I have lots of gallery sim yet MCCC keep adding Vannesa Simmons to my game and Babs L'Amour, it's a little irritating tbh because those 2 sims were my sim's dead wives.

I've been using it awhile, I have my edited single sim households set up to use the #mccc_include so I can have other ones in my library that don't get used. It's cut way down on the time I spend in CAS editing townies, plus my world looks the way I like.

So I downloaded MCCC and followed the instructions for auto-pop, and I downloaded a bunch of sims from the gallery. So when will they auto populate because I got rid of a bunch game generated sims? Or do I have fix something with game options also?
