What is your first language? Just curious.

Umm, I'm sorry, but I never tell that because I'm pretty paranoid and also always anxious about prejudices. *blush*
But why are you asking? I'm curious too. ; )

If you stop deleting the townies you have, the game will slow down making more. It won't ever STOP, but eventually it does "plateau" and settles down to a more manageable trickle.

I already tried that out before I posted here for the first time. But unfortunately my game acts different from that. It seems that the less I delete the more are getting generate. *laughs*

How many sims do you have right now? Do you have culling enabled or disabled?

Do you mean my "own" Sims? The ones I play with? Well, I have 14 Sims in total that I play with by turns. And culling is only disabled for those 14 Sims.

What's in your active household matters. Playing a YA F, I get more single-sim households. If I play a family with kids/teens, I get more families generated. If you go to the park, you'll get more families.

I have a family with grandparents, parents and one kid. A family with parents, one toddler and one kid. Three single households. And one with a sibpair. But the way the game generates townies is quite freakish aka without any clear line.

San Myshuno is a mess, it pops out some of the weirdest sims I've ever seen. I tend not to hang out there too much, honestly.

Oh dear. Good thing that I don't own City Life. I just have the Base Game worlds Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest.

Maximum Homeless keeps sims in the bin during the weekly move-in alarm, if you put a positive number there. I have mine set on 10, but in this game I'm still on the first Sunday. Haven't seen any alarms lately, here. LOL!

I honestly don't get this alarm thing. I've seen it in the options, but I don't understand it. :/

You might try changing some of your Population Percent settings, to see if, at least, the bin will give you sims more to your liking. I do NOT (ever) recommend putting 0 in any of those fields. You CAN, but I prefer to leave some wiggle room. Some closed doors, this game just Does Not Like. I don't usually go any lower than 5 on any of those.

I switched the 0 to 3. But I don't see any change. So I guess I will try 5 then. ; )

Ok, that's it for now. So, @egwarhammer, thanks a lot for your detailed response!!! :)
