Townie family generation, curious
Salim Benali has been starting to get a little friendlier with his good friend Tanvi Savalani, who I think is a randomly generated townie. He knew she was a stay-at-home mom. I moved Tanvi and her chi...

It looks like there are competing freely available mods as well, near the bottom of that thread.
The key one for this thread would likely be 'No Randoms':
This is a Patreon page, but NOT a paywall one. It's freely on that page:

(I'm guessing a Pateron link is OK if the content there is not behind any requirements. But if not, these are by 'Zero' and likely findable with Google).
Note that these turn off townie generation, not fix it.
Personally I'd prefer an option to disable creating selected ages. I'd use that to disable children. Even a mod that auto-aged them to teen on creation would be enough for me. I'm not sure I'm ready to just disable all townie generation. Gotta think about that a bit. Key for me is knowing how 'townie culling' works. I've read townies also get deleted after a while - but how long is a while and do things like their relationships play into it. Is it only homeless townies or will ones in homes also get culled (to date I don't think that's ever happened in my game, but it could have happened to one I just didn't notice yet).
I'm fairly confident townies I have manually edited have been culled out, but not 100% sure. I would not want to turn off townie creation unless I also was sure I could turn off random culling.
... It's 3am, I came over to shutdown my PC and found this thread had been active, hopefully I managed a sane comment up there, shutting down the PC now... :)
