This is good in theory but not for base-game world players like myself. Assuming the average player in this category doesn't use mods, they only have Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. (Filling up Newcrest is horribly tedious.) That is a tiny amount of lots to work with, unless you fill them up with 8-sim households. (Also tedious.) So this would be fine if you have a lot of packs, but plenty of people don't. This is why townies are so helpful, imo.
True, I counted the built in households with the base game and there's 28 sims in total there which would probably get a bit repetitive if it was only those sims in every lot. They could possibly make it so townies will only spawn if there isn't enough actual sims - ie, if there's less than 50 sims the game will spawn townies and if there's more than 50 sims it won't spawn townies. I feel like that would be the best way of doing it so townies still serve their original purpose but aren't there when they aren't needed.
