Well as it stands it seems like allowing sims to randomly move in needs to be a config option, rather than just downright 100% disabled. I'm not sure why it was taken away, I'm sure there's a reason, but now that we can have new worlds and they are usually started from scratch, allowing sims to move in is a necessity. It took long enough to freaking build/place 90 lots worth of houses, much like a real town it should just start filling up on its own, as intended.

Mine is filling just fine. I have homeless sims that were spawned to be coworkers (children/teens for the school "friends" and adults for the workplaces) and are now moving in just fine. I made a set of like eight starter sims. They began breeding with each other and with the randomly spawned sims. Within a few generations my town will be populated fully. I planned it accordingly. It works.
Do you have affordable houses? Otherwise no, your homeless will never move in. Clearly, you're doing something wrong.

Yeah, within a couple of generations, I have to start removing cribs. It is kind of funny to watch the sims duke it out over who gets the right to breed.
Roobs:
I've noticed very few sims in my game are getting married. In fact, the only ones who have recently gotten married are the ones I've prodded along to make it happen. The current situation that my town has am abnormally large single elder population, all going around having affairs with each other, while the the much smaller adult popular do little more than age until it's their turn.
Now I know AwesomeMod doesn't just randomly throw two random sims together forever, but I would have thought that more marriages would result from the many romances going on.
Also, one of my sims (Rhoda Bagley, a pre-made) suddenly has a borked family tree. I can't access it at all from her own simology panel, but when I click on her from another sim's tree (where she is still visible) she has no relatives. Also, her brother has vanished entirely. Is there a way to rectify this, or is it a sign of impending doom? Halp?

Im not sure if it's AM compatible, but there's a "birth manager" mod that functions by clicking on the large modern mirror. It has a set rate of pregnancies to keep the town well populated and balanced. When I first tried it it said I had 55 elders, 10 adults, 3 young adults, 7 teens, 2 kids, 0 toddlers, and 0 babies. After a sim week of using it, I had much, much more satisfying numbers. Now that I remember this, I should try this for my ghost-town woes. Lemme try and find it.
Edit: Oh jesus, how ridiculous. It's HERE.
