No wonder I don't post here anymore!
Feel free to return to that state.
Mmm...is that you granting me permission to do so? Did I miss something?
It used to be that the Podium was the place to ask questions to JMP - not get torn to shreds over spellings by people you weren't even addressing the question to. Which brings me back to the real issue in hand;
Is the AL situation with character files so dire that the best advice is to delay playing that EP until a fix is posted, or is it a minor problem, that really depends on how good/fast your pc's processor is? I estimate that with nothing restricting spawning, it would still take several months of non-stop play to reach the maximum number of character files; I remember you (JMP) saying as much in a thread that must remain dead somewhere around here.

Just put some of your other townies into one or more of the social group families. I think 0.71.13 is probably ok for doing that.
Great! I spent the last two hours thinking about a tool to do that.
I am not sure if it will stop the respawning though. Generally, I never had a problem with newly generated townies, it very rarely happened, not even when I moved some townie teens to university. But now I see this massive increase in population and I need a way to control it. I started the game, loaded a residential house and began writing, I did not play at all. When I minimised the game I noticed that the folder with the character files was still open and there was a new character. I have mainly played Strangetown so far and it already has ca. 30 more new characters than Pleasantview, about 10 of them were created last night. I really do not want to go through the hassle of deleting all those sims, so I begin to worry about playing my game now. It does not seem to be a problem for everyone, but my apartment dwellers (I have two apartment buildings in Strangetown) are invading the hoods.

fyi: there are 5 social groups, every consisting of around 10 members.
That doesnt explain then how i added one single appt block to my neighbourhood with 4 flats in it and now i have an extra 206 characters in my char folder and looking in clean installer they are ALL pictures and names of new social townies

1. Download newest notownieregen, as old single file wasn't the shinier stomping version.
2. ???
3. Profit.

So I had some hopes that *maybe* I could turn this in my favor - except some of the groups are kinda strange. (Gearheads ???)
You know, blue collar factory-worker types.
