@shanls96, this is the contents of the mc_settings.cfg file I use. You can just copy and paste it over yours if you'd like. You will definitely want to go in and change the default save game name for auto-save though, seeing as I doubt your household has the same last name as mine. You may also want to adjust various other settings, like lifespan durations, etc.
And don't forget when you're playing to get your sim out and go places; go to a park, a restaurant, a cafe, a lounge, etc. The game runs different routines to make new sims to populate these places, as well as to fill the various service roles, if your game doesn't already have enough sims, so visiting various types of lots will help get sims in your worlds. Then you need to be patient, and give it some time. The routines for marriage, moving, etc. only run a few times a week, not every day (unless you edit those settings too)
The mc_settings.cfg file can be found in whatever directory you have the mod in. Good luck!
