Creating townies/etc using tree?
laylei:
Is the townie/downtownie/NPC/etc tree still broken? I'm starting up an Apocalypse challenge, but thanks to empty templates, I've got no townies or downtownies. And while I can create them in CAS and use the shrub to make them townies/downtownies, I almost feel like it's cheating. So is the Maxis creator tree still off-limits for batch-making townies/downtownies, or could I use it and not get toy cars and clones?
dizzy:
Since when was it broken? I seem to recall the NPC & Townie maker has worked fine since Nightlife. And if you're batch creating sims, you can just use the mailbox.
Gwill:
You can also just take out notowneregen and the game will produce townies "as needed".
Soylent Sim:
Removing the noregen hacks should ideally only be done once you've made a habit of randomizing the sim generator at least once a session. They can be an excuse to get into the habit as well, but make for dull gameplay if you start with empty templates and don't randomize.
And while certain functions of the townie tree/gun are a little wonky, the heavily broken thing you're thinking about is probably DAC instead. DAC carries the MATY badge of disapproval, but it'd be silly to apply to an already empty 'hood.

That's the thing, I haven't used it since probably University, so I wasn't sure if it had ever worked again or not, I've just recently started using empty templates. Thanks :)
