What happened in your game today?
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wa...

Thank you! I went to Manage Household after the little sister and her cousin graduated from Foxbury and I was annoyed by the sheer number of new townies the game churned out. I had to delete over FORTY (40) households which is insane. I'll never do Uni in Britechester town anymore because of this. Ugh.
EDIT: Scratch that, it's up to 100+ households now. This is beyond insane???????????
I want to ask something about your townies' issue.
About the university student, do you have Get Famous EP in this saved file? If you have GF, the game prefers to use existing unemployed household members to be university students (and organizations) instead of creating new ones every time. However, there are some conditions. They have to be in "Other households" (Not my household or played household).
About the dorm roommate, sadly the game will ALWAYS make the new ones to fill the bed in your dorm. If you have 10, then there are 9 roommates. (I am not sure about the maximum)
Many more roles will make the game create new townies. So 100+ may be from other cases.
Oh, did you use the "Home Region" mod? This mod will make the game need to create townies for each world. For example, the vendor NPCs will only work in their hometown. So, if you visit 10 worlds, you may have 20+ vendors.
Heya! Yeah I have pretty much everything except Lovestruck. So the situation is that I modified the Foxbury Uni Housing (not dorm) to female-only, affiliated with the family club. I enrolled Princess + her big sis cousin. They have no roommates.
I feel like what's happening here is that the game churns out a batch of new townies each time the sisters finished a term. They have 3 terms, and they moved back into the house every time. I also feel like the game didn't recycle townies for roles like "Spirit Day Attendee" or "Robotics Contestant / Judge" so it just... kept..... churning. lol. I also don't have the aforementioned "Home Region" mod.
But yeah those are just my theories. I do visit every world so maybe that's the case too. A consequence for having too many packs, perhaps. 💔
I see. If you have Get Famous, not use that mod, but still had 100+ townies, this should be from visiting many places.
I can’t answer long for now, but if you’re curious about what the reason of each townie generating, try checking mc_cmd_center.log at MCCC mod folder (I assumed that you have MCCC). That log will show the cause of every new sim generating by the game.
*log data will reset every time you open game the next time. So go to look or back up after closing game.
Oooh, that's real helpful, I'll take a look. Thanks a lot!
During the whole Uni until graduation both Sims don't travel a lot cause of how hectic Uni is (like RL ha) I'll report back with my findings ☝️
