Too many sims at downtown's lots!

I have an option to create a group of 8 sims going downtown, but I always limit the group to 3 or 4 sims. I am talking about the invasion of the townies in the small lots of downtown, which prevent my sims to fulfill all their wishes, as dining, bowling, etc. When I invite the group at home, they are far more happy...:).
Well that's what I am trying to say, that property not only effects how many sims you can invite over or form a group with, it effects how many will show up on community lots. When I had it set at 4 (by Nightlife by default) I got far less townies on the downtown lots then when I put the cheat in and set it to 8.
Regina:
Is anyone here sure if the maxnumofvisitingsims controls the Downtown lots? I've never been able to see where it does. NL set my max down from 4 to 2 on community lots, but with a default neighborhood I'd have anywhere from 8 sims on up in Downtown lots. It seemed like when I started a fresh neighborhood and generated only a couple handfuls of Downtownies did that number go down. Now I usually have 4 to 6, mixed between Downtownies and Townies.
Motoki:
I'm positive when my max sims went to 4 with NL I only had a few townies on the downtown lots they were consistently fairly empty and when I put the cheat in to change it to 8 I have tons now. Actually it runs fairly slow now where it didn't before. :-\

I read somewhere that the downtown lots are empty, awkwardly 2-3 sims.
Why this doesn't happen to me? Always when I manage a group and go to some lot - 10-15 sims come together with my group, and I can't "breeze"! I go to another lot - the same happens again! And the d...n lots are small, not enough space to move among so many sims.
Do I have to delete more townies? It's very annoying!
Most of the time, my computer can deal with this but I have the same thing happen to me. I think my record is about 18 sims or so on the same lot at once. And at the time I had only one playable sim out for the evening and she was not a part of a group. Fortunately this wasn't on a small lot so people still had room to move.

I use a custom neighborhood (and I believe, tho it's been a long time and I don't remember for sure) I deleted all the characters and have let the game remake them as needed. I left my visiting sims set at 2 (personally, I have enough trouble keeping 2 extra sims happy - I don't need 8 :) if I really want another one, I invite them before the event starts). I've got a reasonable number on downtown lots - when I get there it might be empty or just 2 and if I stay for a long time build up to about 6ish. It works really well for me. I have gradually seen more appearing (especially as I'm now playing a Uni neighborhood for the first time since installing NL) and ran into the other countess and the counts for the first time. The only issue I've had is not enough teens - too many of the NPCs are adults or young adults and I want more people for my teens to interact with (first dates and all).
