Townie Households Almost All Have Same Structure
Has anybody else noticed this? For whatever reason, townie households almost always have the exact same structure. For me, it's just about always either single elder households (seriously, elders EVERYWHERE), households composed of a single parent and one child, or single teen households, which shouldn't even be POSSIBLE, given how you can't do this in CAS yourself (there HAS to be at least one parent or grandparent). Some other very clear townie trends I've noticed:
- Parents and children often look NOTHING alike. For example, I recently had a family spawn with a single mother and her son. The mother had dark skin and blonde hair, while the son had light skin and black hair. They also had absolutely no facial features in common.
- The townie generator clearly seems to favor adults over young adults. When I get a single Sim household that isn't a teen or elder, it's almost always an adult, hardly ever a young adult.
- Sims with Japanese or Middle Eastern names almost always have either red or blonde hair. It's hardly ever any other hair color. That can't be a coincidence! It happens way too often for it to just be a coincidence.
- The townie generator is totally obsessed with CL and Vampires content. I have all packs and EPs, so it seems odd to me that every townie would spawn in predominantly CL and Vampires content. There are lots of potential clothes for the townies to spawn in, but the generator seems to have a clear bias for clothing from CL and Vampires. Odds are, if you don't see them wearing Vampires clothing for their everyday outfit, they're probably wearing them for their formal or party outfits.
- CL names are especially common, and repeat frequently. The new CL names are really nice, but I'm starting to wonder if they added many of them into the mix, because names repeat all the time. I often have several families with the exact same surnames, exact same first names, or exact same first AND surnames. Some new names for the randomizer to choose from would be nice. Curiously, I am not seeing any of these names pop up when I randomize names in CAS.
- For some reason, the townies are obsessed with the eyeball ring. About 1/3 of townies that spawn in my game at any given time are wearing the eyeball ring. If they aren't wearing it for their everyday outfit, they're usually wearing it for their party outfit.
Is it just me? I also made a thread on this in Answers HQ.
