Creating townies/etc using tree?
Doc Doofus:
If you wipe the neighborhood of all Sims (including Townies) and wait for them to regenerate on an as-needed basis, you may end up waiting a long time. The NPC's will come back fairly quickly because the game needs them, but the townies will be few. It's much better to just use the tree/gun (I miss the TREE!!) to generate a whole new set of townies.
I like to run it two or three times, actually. Lots more townies, lots more fun.
One neat feature of the newest NPC maker is a neat little action that lets you change clothing for an NPC/townie. That's sweet. Although it is a little buggy, because sometimes it tries to give you or charge you an exorbitant amount of money for the new clothes that another Sim is going to wear.

I had that problem in my new hood. I made it completely clean to start a new legacy, and when my founder was out man hunting, only a teen boy and teen girl showed up. After a couple of days of no one else I thought "fuck it" and just spawned them. I was wanting the townies to be spawned by the game because I've got all my skins townified, and I wanted them to show up on my townies rather than having them all using my defaults. Oh well.

I'm rather fond of Wild Wild West (the complete Neighbourhood rather than just the template) at the moment. Of course it's chock full of suspect lots given I went a little wild myself with row houses, but those can be bypassed if desired/necessary.
Did you say wild with row houses?
I still have two full blocks to fill in the "urban" section, Hummingbird Court, and the rest of the open-air fair to fill in (it's in the top left corner, you can see a bit of the one tent and viking ship at Ridge Collectibles).
Madame Mim:
You win, I don't have any where near that many in WWW.
Zazazu:
It's actually only 19 lots repeated (well, plus a 1x4 and 1x5 in the middle of a 9x5 block to add a fake alley with parking garages) The more annoying thing was coming up with the street names and making sure I correctly numbered the lots. I'm anal about addresses. Hence my external, color-coded 'hood map. It's keyed and gridded. Yum.
EDIT: Done! Now I only have the other 3/4 of the island to build. *cries*
