Secret Society members should not be spawned to replace ones you happen to kill for whatever reason, except as a very last resort of total desperation (which should be near-impossible, but
is there just in case), in which it will create one member.
Therefore, if there is no SS townie, the game will first attempt to create one
by promoting an existing YA townie. If it cannot, it will only create one if
there is not even a single available member to perform the initiation ceremony.
If for some reason your university has a dormie population of zero, don't kill
this last guy.
I started to install this when I noticed in the manual that it will create just one when down to the last of the SS members.
I am trying to eliminate almost all non-player sims from my game except Grand Vampires and NPCs.
Then it dawned on me...if I eliminate too many and this hack just creates one, no one will ever be able to join the secret society anymore because they must have 3 SS friends just to join. Since playable SS members who have graduated do not count toward the 3 friend count, we really need 3 SS members available to us.
Am I misreading this hack? Or must I be sure that the last 3 SS members don't get eaten by the cow plant? And how do I know when I am down to this number aside from leaving the game and looking into Simpe?
J. M. Pescado:
What I meant by "will create one" means "When this function is called": So you will retain a minimum number of members needed to allow people to join the SS, should you start a massacre, generally around 3-5 members. I recommend you stop the massacre around then.
That, or start resurrecting dormies as zombies and turn your University into Night Of The Living Dead.
Mike:
I gotta question. I recently deleted all my characters and started with a clean Pleasantview. I have the No Secret Societ Respawning hack and the no Townie Regeneration hack. Since I have no townies the game attepts to spawn SS members when I enter community lots but the the no townie regen hack doesnt allow it making it impossible to create SS members. I would remove my no townie regen hack but I dont want my game going into a frenzy of creating townies as soon as I remove it. Any suggestions?
ZephyrZodiac:
I'd suggest remove nodormieregeration and let the game generated a few, then put it back. Then the Secret Society members can be recruited from the dormie pool.
Mike:
Darn, I wish there was some other way.
