I don't want to completely disable immigration, but only the Library cloning. I don't think there's an option for that. If you're thinking of the option to create breeding fodder from sims in the Export bin, that's something completely different, and it has nothing to do with the Library cloning.

So it keeps moving in duplicate copies of the families in your Library? That's weird. I've been playing with Indie for a while now and not experienced that... anyone else had this problem?

In my game, the doppelgangers always appear as homeless sims. If you use the Awesomemod, and have debugging commands and testing cheats enabled, you can type "listhomeless" in the cheat window (Ctrl-Shift-C). If ISM is creating clones in your game, you'll probably see them there. I only discovered them when my game was lagging horribly, and I decided to see if there were any homeless sims. As it turned out, there were multiples of every family in my Library. Once I deleted them using the destroyalltownies command, the lagging stopped.
moondance:
I had tons of them--destroyalltownies killed over four hundred homeless sims. I've found a solution that works for me. I've turned off immigration. Now I only have four homeless families. So far I haven't had any problems with the neighborhood stagnating. I occasionally befriend a homeless sim so that I can ask him or her to move in--and bring the family--and then move that entire family into a home of their own. The game seems to keep a steady supply of these families, replacing them as needed so that there are always at least three homeless families. If that supply of new sims isn't enough, I suppose I can turn immigration on temporarily, let several families move in, turn immigration back off, and destroy the homeless.
The bonus is that I've found that I enjoy playing the neighborhood more now that I can pretty much recognize every sim that lives there. I'm pretty much playing the entire neighborhood, and with immigration on, families moved in so fast that there were just too many sims, and I couldn't remember who was who--and didn't care. Now that there are fewer of them, they are more memorable, and I like them--or dislike them in some cases--much more.

Wow, thank you for this info. I've heard about people talking about the homeless but I didn't realize it could cause lag. I put IS in shortly before it became compatible with AM and my lag has been increasing but I thought it was perhaps ghosts or something. I had over 100 homeless. I used destroyalltownies. Hopefully, it will help my lag.
