J. M. Pescado:
Experimental, untested fix for "mile wide mass of Zergs" barista spam.
nonpcspam.zip
RTFM:
No NPC Spam (v1b) for TS2U v1.0
Made by: Flying Fish Systems (J. M. Pescado)
Special Thanks To:
Quaxi, for writing SimPE
Fairlight the Bitch
Congratulations to: Draklixa!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.
FEATURES:
This should cut down the "mile wide mass of Zergs" effect for Barista-spawning
in Uni. It also eliminates a lot of the "safety" checking for NPC-typing, so if
you try to create an NPC by simply setting his NPC type and dumping him into
the NPC pool, this hack will disable that check and you'll get your new,
non-functional NPC showing up to not work. Fortunately, this should never
actually happen unless you are actively trying to do something stupid and not
recommended. So don't.
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with all FFS Hacks. Untested alpha for TS2U v1.0.
SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.

Don't know if it'll solve my problem, but I'll try it and let you know if I actually get a barista to work at my empty espresso bars! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly about my problem!8)
Ancient Sim:
Is this going to be extended to other NPC's? I had a llama mascot die in a dorm recently and the game immediately spawned another one, even though there were still 2 left in play. I think I read somewhere that mascots are allocated to certain areas, which would explain it. Is this actually the case? Seems stupid to create extra characters when I am trying to reduce the number of character files.
J. M. Pescado:
That's unrelated to this: The game naturally attempts to maintain a pool of 3 NPCs of any given type. Baristas were an exception, as the game would never previously attempt to reuse a Barista, instead always generating more and more and more Baristas.
