Well, you could try rotational play. In one of my saves, before I started using mods, I would delete all existing townies and families and I started with my own families and rotated through them. However, you could also just create and fill some houses with your own creations and play them randomly and grow them. PC does offer some advantages in a game like this but you can pull it off without mods on a console by just getting rid of the premade townies. They just don't have much to offer. Some of the preloaded families are actually fun to play with. I like the Fyres for example and the BFFs and the Pancakes even.
In my saves, I use a number of mods to do things I am too lazy to do LOL. NPCC, for example, allows you to direct which jobs townies fill. MCCC allows me to pull townies from my library only so my library only has sims I want in my game. I have it nit set not to generate random townies. It doesn't mean you can't remake them to your own liking without it though. Build some nice houses etc or use the gallery to download non-cc homes, venues, etc and you can make your own stories very nicely without any mods at all. If anything, integrate the townies into your stories!
That is what I may end up doing. My plan was to create a teen and use him through adulthood until his death. I've yet to even touch the university pack really, so was hoping to fill my town with other teens/families and try to get good grades, do the college thing etc. But if the other teens/young adults don't do anything. Then it kinda defeats the purpose. I'd rather have a natural organic world then one where I control everything. That to me just doesn't seem fun. Maybe controlling a couple sims. But I don't want to control the whole town just to have a growth and changes. Oh well. Is what it is. Guess I could just go back to living in my mansion, being a professional photographer to the stars. Did they ever patch that issue where freelancers couldn't get paid for completed gigs? Thats around the time I quit playing last time. Just started back up.
I am with you 100%. I also like the game to more organic, almost chaotic LOL.
So the sims who attend college with you will advance in college. I noticed in one save I had Caleb Vatore in classes with my sim and he did attend college and received a degree all while in the NPC bin. Also the preloaded sims, Fletcher and Clarke, both completed college with honors without my assistance. This happened before I used mods. In addition, I have noticed that townies that have jobs advance their skills. So if you are visiting a bar, the bartender actually skills up in mixology and charisma. So they aren't completely non-engaged. I do believe they patched the freelancer problem. That one was annoying for me too. I had like 8 freelancers at the time!
