Populate a whole town

how do you populate the whole town using MCCC?

I want it to generate numerous households instantly especially in the ‘currently not in world’ tab as I don’t want every actual home filled

Thanks in advance :)
  • @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!

  • Hello,

    does this part of the settings alter the age IN DAYS

    "Age_Span_Adult": 45,
    "Age_Span_Baby": 2,
    "Age_Span_Cat_Adult": "31.0,44.0",
    "Age_Span_Cat_Child": "1.0,2.5",
    "Age_Span_Cat_Elder": "12.0,14.0",
    "Age_Span_Child": 18,
    "Age_Span_Dog_Adult": "33.0,44.0",
    "Age_Span_Dog_Child": "1.0,3.5",
    "Age_Span_Dog_Elder": "9.0,14.0",
    "Age_Span_Elder": 16,
    "Age_Span_Teen": 17,
    "Age_Span_Toddler": 12,
    "Age_Span_YoungAdult": 45

    See, Young Adult age span says 45, does this mean 45 sim days?
  • @shanls96 Yes, those numbers are the exact number of days for the life stage IF you are playing with normal lifespans. If you play with short or long lifespans, it's a factor of those days instead ( 1/2 if you select short, x4 if you select long).

    If you want lifespans that are the game defaults, just change them in MCCC and click the 'default' button. I have them set just a little under double normal, because I feel normal is too short, but LONG is waaaay too long.

    I set them where my sims have enough time to actually have a social life and still get near the top of a career ladder before having children. And allow for them to be able to fully raise a few kids before they became elders. For my personal style of play, those settings are such that my sim's are usually turning elders shortly before their kids are having kids, making it perfect for me.
