Townie household generation problems

I wanted to say, thank you for your posts and research. I have found them fascinating (no sarcasm, I love reading about stuff like this). I too have noticed that the demographics are not quite where I want them to be. I'm playing a legacy challenge and the second generation is reaching young adulthood. I'm having a very hard time finding available men - there have been times when I took my Sim to the park and found that every single person there was a female or a child. I also have had too man elders; I bookmarked Shimrod's mod on my laptop but haven't added it to game yet.

I really hope the devs take a look at this. May I ask how you are seeing what new families are being generated? Is it by looking at the household management screen? I actually haven't touched that yet, but if that's how you are keeping track, I'll start keeping an eye on it.
