How...does the game spawn NPCs?

Claeric:
Are they all spawned as actual sims before disappearing into an NPC pool or are they spawned upon being needed?

I uploaded a world just yesterday that is a tiiiiiiny little island and I only just noticed that there are sims spawning near the only community lot on it with items on it, running away, and disappearing. Upon further inspection, these are pizza people, maids, etc.

Is this just the game spawning NPCs or is this awkward behavior that will remain eternally consistently happening? I ask because it has been a game day and I can't imagine there are that many NPCs that it should still be happening, assuming that is indeed what is happening.

spaceface:
I'ma play your island now because this sounds hilarious.

When I played Coconut Island, there were pizza folk visible about town but none ever actually delivered a pizza because of the lack of roads. Are your sims not phoning for services?

Lolzers. I thought I saw something in the corner of my eye earlier, but didn't bother to investigate. (Too busy trying to coax my pair into procreating.) I guess uninhabited islands aren't so Pudding-friendly after all.

The_Goddess:
NPC's always show up in community lots designated as parks.  I had the magician show up in mine a few times.

kazebird:
What does the Magician actually do?  I don't think I've ever seen one in the game.
