Hi all, I am a noob and I have a possibly stupid question. My first post. ;D
If I use this hack on a new neighborhood created with the clean/empty templates, will the game still generate an initial 3 (or however many it's supposed to) of each NPC, or am I stuck with just ONE paperboy, gardener, mailman etc. servicing the entire hood? On the one hand I don't want throngs of NPCs cluttering up the hood, but I'd still like to see some variety among them. I've been testing it a bit in a new hood, and it seems like I'm only getting one of each...
The point of the hack is to only have one of each NPC.
If you want more, you can create them using the townie & NPC maker. (Turn on debug mode, shift click on a sim, and spawn the townie & NPC maker).
Pet Monkey:
Alright, thanks for the quick reply, I think I will just leave the hack out initially and add it in later or something.
J. M. Pescado:
One. If you want another one, you can generate it manually, or just allow it to generate as needed. Otherwise you get 3 of EVERYTHING, including things that duplicates are totally useless for since the sims are unsocializable.
Besides, bad things generally happen when you try to interact with NPCs, so it's just best to treat them as untouchable.
Pet Monkey:
OK, thanks J.M., I guess I will maybe look into the manual NPC creation thing after all and keep the hack in. I just like having some selection of gardener, maid etc. but can do without 3 different cabdrivers and whatever else... Would you mind elaborating a little bit on this no interacting with NPCs thing though? This is really depressing news to me. No more woohoo'ing the maid, or anything?
Your hacks are alright, by the way. :P Thanks a lot.
J. M. Pescado:
Many newer NPCs are not rigorously tested for extensive interactions, and it is recommended that you not try too hard with them. Older NPCs like the maid are probably more rigorously tested due to people's maid fetishes, but don't count on other more esoteric NPCs working right.
