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.
It's difficult to have whatever I want when the game is constantly making these choices without my input.
Really, they need more Q&A on live mode in general. It feels like the most neglected part of The Sims 4, which is sad considering it should be the largest. I still can't believe they designed a system as boring and repetitive as whims and then have it disabled by default instead of re-purposing it into something better. Aspirations, the unfortunate main grindy repetitive system of TS4, still has not had improvements that it should have to make it more open-ended and fun with each generation/Sim.
I delete the generated ones every day. I don't want them in my game. I used to try to fix them up in cas, but it's no use. The game just keeps generating new ones, so out they go as fast as they come in.
I do the same thing. It gets redundant though when I just want to play the game, and even if I do delete them, they come right back. I know mods exist to customize/fix this issue, but I don't believe mods should be a necessity to fix a game's problem.
I'm hoping that in sims5 we can either make our own townies or maybe have a list we can pick from instead of the game generating these ugly things.
The problem is the game needs Sims to fill NPC roles -- food stall workers, mixologists, restaurant workers and the like. The more venues you have the more NPCs you need. I've found that just a few tweaks with clothing and hair can make a big difference in how the townies look. So I go through Manage Households every so often, giving makeovers to townie Sims and if they're really impossible they go byebye.
