What do you do with Townies?

Unless they're really promising, they're getting deleted!

I love them especially simeon

In ts3 I just delete them. I have very specific stories I like to play out in my town of choice and don't want them ruining it. In ts4 when I do play I either just ignore them or have my sims marry/befriend them.

I use MCCC to use sims from my library as townies. Also, I have loads of outfits made for them with the MC dresser and the setting to only use "saved outfits" & disable situational outfits. That mod has made me happy with the townies, they don't look out of place anymore!

I really need to learn how to use the Dresser module to get rid of outfits I don't care for. Does it also work on hairs? I keep getting Sims with that bloomin' cat ears hair from C&D; I love the hairstyle other than the ears!

My sims make friends with townies, invite them to clubs, gain skills and have reasons to visit places.

mostly use them for my retail lot but, I have no beef with Townies as their mixmatched clothes and clown like makeup give a sense of realism for me.. not everyone is perfect or looks like a movie star with a sleek fasion sense, if that where the case the simverse would start to look like planet of the apes, with townies my well dressed well phisiched sims stand out in a crowd. now if the auto generated townies wound up causing my game to crash because I play on console and have no way to remove them I might try to kill them

Usually I give them makeovers, but if I get tired of it I’ll just delete them.

I usually give them makeovers (I've also been doing that for the pre-mades in my current template save project). Then I let them alone and see what develops between them and my Sims. Usually after a makeover they turn out to be not too bad; sometimes I'll place them in a lot just long enough to cheat them some skills and reward skills, and maybe an actual job, before I set them back loose into the Not In World population. Once my Sim develops a relationship with one I move him/her into a lot so my Sim has a place to visit.

☝? All of the above.

I'm a console player, so I don't have the option to utilise mods or cc. I do give pre-mades makeovers and set their skills and issue reward traits to improve their quality of life and compatibility with their current or future careers. I don't like 'real world' celebrities (Baby Ariel, Millie Bobby Brown ect.) in my worlds, so I delete them. I find the pre-mades can be quite tolerable after editing them.

I'm surprised to see pretty even results on this poll. For some reason I thought everyone else just deleted them, but it seems to be a good mix!
