Skewed Neighborhood Demographics

How weird. Can you check the date stamps on those character files to see if they were all generated within the same play session?
They're created unevenly over many days.
I installed my pre-AL neighbourhood on the 21st, 3 characters were spawned on the 22nd, 24 characters on the 23rd, 5 on the 24th and 25th, 12 on the 26th, 3 on the 27th, 6 on the 28th, 4 on the 29th and 3 on the 30th.
66 new characters (if I counted correctly), out of these, two auto spawned character are male (the Warlock and the Butler), and one male was spawned using the townie gun set specifically to male.

Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed it. It also happens with born-in-game sims too? Darn. I haven't had any since AL.
I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on just 4 births.
I checked the gender balance of my hood with the census tool, and it appears that my hood has a pretty good gender balance even after those 50 women decided to invade. It could simply be that my hood has been overly male dominated (without me noticing) and EAxis has suddenly implemented the gender balancing tool it's been rumoured the game possesses.
Even if that's so, this is a terribly bad way of bringing balance. I for one would like to see some bohemian males too.

Can Butlers even be female? I thought they had to be male much like nannies have to be female.

I'm guessing they're all male. That's why I mentioned him as a special case.

You could always generate your own townies using the NPC/Townie maker and only accept the male ones...
BAAAD! A generated sim doesn't just "disappear", so what HAPPENS is that every time you reject a sim, it just gets killed and becomes a dead file in your neighborhood. Don't do this! If you want to "reject", quit without saving.

It's also an idiotic idea simply because the townie generator allows you to select the gender of the characters you want generated.
