Not really sure. Just depends on what Filter the core code was trying to fill. It will do that over-and-over until it gets enough of what it is looking for. If you try to do an adoption, for example, a lot of single mother families are generated for the children/teens that will be available for adoption.
If you use the Go To School mod, I know it may generate a lot of family and single-mother families for the children that are your fellow students, if you don't have any or "enough" children to fill the class.
The guidelines I am following right now is that I don't change what the game asks for. If it asks for an adult and a child, I will try to alter the results based on the settings defined for MC Population, as long as they are still valid for what the game is asking for. I will change the gender as well as age to a certain point. I never change the number of what the game filters ask for. So, if it asks for 1 adult, 1 child, that's what it will always generate.
I tried modifying numbers and everything in an early version, as Egwarhammer mentioned in an earlier post here, and it worked for my mod but integral functionality in the game itself failed so I learned to try to work around the core scripts instead of overwriting them.
