Sharable Custom set of townies?
gethane:
Not to be obtuse, but that is what I did. Twice. And both times when I then deleted relationships and substituted that neighborhood with townies into a template and then generated a new neighborhood, then did a character folder count, I got 31 instead of 32 (the number I had made). I'll try it again this weekend.
Jelenedra:
Did you pause the game before you made all non-residents bugger off? Usually they'll just drop off the UI and disappear that way.
gethane:
I did figure out my previous problem. Before telling the last actual resident to "make me a townie" I instead summoned someone already a townie, made that visitor selectable, then made the last resident a townie, then using the selectable visiter, zapped all visitors (all using inge's cat).
I made 32 townies. I designated one a garden club member, but the game generates a different one anyway.
I made 12 dormies
I made 6 each vacation locals
I made 1 downtownie (extra person)
All that adds up to 63. When I put those character files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N001\Characters and the neighborhood package file in N001 and generate a new neighborhood, I get 44 character files in the new neighborhood.
So I'm confused. I can understand if the game doesn't generate the townies with no associated subhoods. But that would leave me with the 32 original townies I made, not 44. Anyone else working on this? Anyone else seeing something like this? Any ideas?
talysman:
Do you have Freetime? How many hobby mavens are there?
ETA: there should be ten hobby mavens, it seems, so if you're just counting main hood sims, you would have 32 normal + 10 mavens = 42 sims. You said you have 44, so maybe the other two are Grimmy and some other NPC that's generated immediately. Or maybe not even Grimmy? Newspaper girl + postal carrier?
gethane:
I think I am just missing some essential element of this. So unfortunately, after making 63 townies myself, I think I'm going to abandon this. I took my test person on vacation and none of my locals showed up.
