Where are all the townies?

In my Riverview, the library is always pretty full. That tiny park in the middle of the island can be fairly busy on the weekend. Any of the other community lots, though, are mostly deserted.
My library is bustling also, but this is a direct influence of Supreme Commander, because of the massive buffs the library provides to multiple skills. The original Suncrap Thingy was almost obnoxiously crowded. I would leave lots just to get AWAY from all those people, and head for the nearby empty place, and like deranged stalkers, they would follow me there. It was maddening! At least they didn't usually try to TALK to me, but still, it was creepy, in a manner akin to being stalked by a troupe of mimes.

I have moved MATY puddings into all the houses formerly occupied by Suncrap townies, and then evicted and destroyed the townies. There are very few left now. Only those I created (Jesus (living with Emma), Terence Hill (living with Marhis)) and a couple of the better looking male townies who can be "available" to other MATY female sims.
If I tag MATY sims as sacred, will they spawn or not spawn, or doesn't it matter?
So far, in Suncrap Thingy, I can find non-playables around any comm lot, usually at least 3 per lot, and then some walk-bys. I should try playing Riverview.
Emma:
Oh, kewl. I live with Jesus. ;D

In Riverview, the pool over by the science building is always a hot spot and the gym seems pretty popular too. Even with a full Riverview town, I have rarely seen Sims at places like the juice bar and gazebo. Once in a while someone will go to the museum late at night.
I also find it difficult in TS3 to find time to socialize. There are so many way more interesting things to do! LOL

It appears that the lack of townies problem is escalating. I went the edit neighbourhood just to see who exactly is there and it looks like only about 4 households have any occupants, all of which are elders. One of them does have 3 kids but that is only because they were fathered by a spare resident in the legacy family. There also doesn't seem to be any sign of the other four generation 2 spares that I kicked out of the legacy household, one of which also has a baby. The generation 2 sims I kicked out are still on the family tree but don't appear to be getting any older whereas the generation 1 spares aged up and died at a rate consistent with the legacy household. So how do I locate the spares that were kicked out and get them to age? I sort of assumed that kicked out sims would automatically move in somewhere but am wondering if lack of funds due to awesomemod is preventing this.
EDIT: I've found that if I invite round the generation 2 spares they appear to be the correct elder age and that the grim reaper turns up that evening to claim them. I'm guessing that there is a problem with them being updated while in 'kicked out limbo'. I'm not sure what is going to happen to the now motherless baby who I assume is now actually a teen, YA or adult.
