More Townies
Ruann:
if "intprop maxnumofvisitingsims" still works, just up that number.
My laptop (3.0ghz machine) gives me about 12 to 15 sims on a downtown lot at a time. My home pc (1.4 ghz machine) gives me about 6 to 8 on a lot. This includes any Sims I take on my own and service NPCs.
Ancient Sim:
I've never been 'allowed' more than 2 (unsupported graphics card and all that) so have the intProp cheat permanently in my cheat file. Nothing has changed for me in NL because of that. My Sims can invite up to 7 other Sims on an outing (which makes up the 8), there are usually 6 or 7 others when they are invited on one, plus I also get the 8 visiting Sims as well. I don't experience any noticeable slowdown, but I never did. I have all the new settings on high as well (most are off or low by default), although I tend to turn them off on community lots as I get very confused and keep trying to use items that are on another lot because I am not familiar with what goes with what. Then again, even when I am familiar with what goes with what, I am still trying to get my Sims to use items in their next-door neighbours' houses and gardens.
Brynne:
I used to have the problem with deserted lots. I think the no townie regeneration mod caused it. You don't have that in your game, by any chance, do you? If you do, try taking it out. I just had a casual group of 7 and still had several other sims show up after removing it from mine.
sara_dippity:
Put "intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 8" in a user startup cheat file, and the problem will be solved. It will affect not only your parties, but your contact lists, and I have indeed noticed more townies showing up on community and downtown lots.
In fact, I love my startup cheat file. I will even share the whole thing with you.
