Anti Generate Townies (But Not Pets)
Zazazu:
You know, I've had a time or two when it will error out. No idea why, and it usually works again when I reload the game. I always run the random generator for townies and downtownies right after creating a new 'hood, and periodically if I feel things are getting stale. I would say that I laugh in the face of this supposed character file limit, but as my 'hoods rarely reach 300 as it is, I doubt that's ever going to be an issue. Urban Paradise is at 297 as of last night due to my Free Love Cult breeding like bunnies, and I've run the townie generator maybe three extra times, one for townies, downtownies, and dormies.

I have empty templates and notownie respawn. I decided that I wanted dormies for a particular hood, so I spawned the tree on a dorm lot and created townies. But it was awful. It created about 5 duplicate Sims, then about 5 aliens, then a new Sim but several duplicates of that one, then more duplicates of the aliens, etc. I left without saving, went back in, and the same thing happened. (The aliens that it was making are aliens that are in CAS because I use the multi-pollination mod. But the aliens are in the adult section, not YA section. Weird.)
Then I went to the regular hood and created townies from there. This time it worked perfect, generating 30 townies, with no duplicates that I could see, and no aliens. I went back to the Uni hood and attempted to spawn dormies by again spawning townies, and I got the same weirdness with aliens and duplicates that I got before.
Anyone know what I did wrong? I don't want to remove notownie regen from the game because I want some dormies, but not townies. (I only spawned townies in the regular hood for testing purposes and didn't save afterward).
jrd:
You're not actually getting aliens or duplicates. The thumbnails are just wrong as of Pets.
Spawn the lot, then look in SimPE. They're normal townies/downtownie clones/dormies.

You know, I forgot about how messed up the CAS thumbnails have been lately. I bet you are right. That helps a whole load of problems.
Thanks. ;D
