Why is 90% of all auto-generated townies Japanese with blonde hair??

City Living destroyed townie generating wish there was a way to completely turn off townie spawning.

I remember the game spawned quite a bit of nice looking sims with just a base game installed, with a city living most townies spawned pear shaped overweight dark skinned blonde with either watanabe or srinivasan in their last name. But I found a workaround in MCCC to let it pull from gallery sim to spawn townies if youre not opposed to that.

I'm not using Mc dresser and I didn't opted to pull from the gallery, but since I'm using Mccc townies are dressing much better :)

No idea, but they need to do something about it.

I just wish they'd give us the option to turn the generating of townies off. I keep all the premade sims that come with the game in my library as unplayed and I wish they would just use unplayed households to fill jobs at bars etc. I would rather see Don Lothario working at a bar or restaurant than Riko Yamomoto, a blonde haired Asian girl that decides to wear the worst collection of cc she can put together for her oddly shaped body and hideous facial features.

I don't mind the random townies spawning, but when they have the cc I downloaded on them it just looks really bad. Especially cc that I don't have a mesh to and then I have to go into CAS and fix them. Thats the only annoying part to me.

See this is where I don't understand when people keep requesting for diverse Sims or enthic groups. O.K. great, but they aren't. They all turn into Europeans with other names that possibly don't fit their enthic group of who they are to represent. And then I have to pretend they dyed their hair, and they are very western by not generating with particular facial features which (no matter who wants to argue it), are not indicative to their race. Just slapping a name on a Sim isn't my idea of diversity. Or just a skin color. Like building a Sim and changing the skin tone to black or brown and telling me the Sim is of a specific enthic group. No, either have real diverse Sims or stop generating pretend ones. Also, as far as diversity I see this on the gallery all the time. People build a white Sim then paint it brown, no, sorry, either give the Sim the facial features it would have or stop trying to paint all white Sim brown or black. And they want diversity of cultures...sorry, just dressing in a special outfit isn't my idea of diversity, these Sims should come with thier own traditions, ideas, beliefs and actions and not just a Sim with a name slapped on them, with western habits, and dyed hair or dyed skin.

Just have what speaks to you. People don't have to fit into a box, I have to have so many of this or that type of person. It's your world people, have whatever you want.

I just spended two hours for downloading en creating the right townies, because the townies are really bad in my game.
They all have the same face, are also Japanese...
And their clothing choice is really really weird. And I mean things like wearing a croptop as a raincoat. :|

I really hope this will be fixed one day....

I agree, townie generation is definitely skewed and it doesn't encourage townie families to be created. They either need to improve their algorithm for townie creation or make it far easier to add your own townies without the use of mods. It should be pulled from your gallery/downloaded households.
