In need of a no spawning social townies hack
jolrei:
I can confirm that empty templates plus the antiredundancy and notownieregen hacks prevent any AL townies from spawning (at least until they are "required" to fill apartments). Admittedly, my MATY hood seems to have difficulties spawning the witches now...
Ruann:
The game seems to generate Good, Neutral, and Evil witches. Two of each. I have to double check that, though. You'll get the Grand Witch who flies into a lot and sometimes you'll get a different variety who does a walkby on community lots too. At least, my first post-AL neighborhood did that. I recently nuked my neighborhoods and started over and have yet to have the random walkby witch happen.

I had the antiredundancy hack in my download folder while testing. Sorry I did not mention that the antiredundancy hack was in my download folder, and it was the updated version for AL. So there is a need for a social sim hack.
Other individuals at the main sims 2 board have claimed that the notownieregen in their download folder is not stopping the spawning of social townies whenever you visit a community lot.
Grab the newest version, then. It's been updated several times since AL came out, IIRC. Older versions do NOT stop social townies from respawning.

Both of my post-AL post-new antiredundancy & notownieregen 'hoods are thoroughly controlled. Onoway has only service NPCs and the townies I spawned. No witches yet, but it's possible I've just not had a spawn opportunity come up the one time I went to a community lot. Fingerling Isles has both good and bad witches, one of each. The bad witch is banned now. The good warlock is hot, so he's allowed.
No dumb useless social group townies in either 'hood. I do of course have empty templates (my corned beef hash version for AL).

This is what I'm using as my running hypothesis too. I want to try a comm lot visit again this evening and see if I can trigger the witch spawning then. Khan is so enraged by everyone (well, sim-me anyway) right now, that he'd make a fine evil witch/warlock. One can hope.
