A mod to reduce townies?

I'm looking for a mod that reduces the number of game-generated townies and lets me meet more of my own people instead. My save contains roughly 150 played sims in 40+ households, more than enough to fill any public lot I travel to, but I rarely see them there. Sure, it's more realistic not to run into familiar faces everywhere you go, and I don't want to disable townies completely (still need the occasional randoms for food stalls, services, etc.), but I don't like it when my sims become friends with those hideously dressed individuals and subsequently forget their relationships with actual friends and family due to relationship culling.

I hear MCCC has an option like that, but I'm only very slowly getting into that (and very unwillingly, because it keeps doing things to my game I don't want), so any help would be appreciated. This mod is unfortunately broken.
