Identical twin townies!

[MrsCrumplebottom]

I downloaded some nice new face templates and used the mailbox to create new townies and downtownies.

Now here's what has me scratching my head:  I opened up SimPE to see what my new townies looked like...and sometimes there will be a townie with identical twins/triplets!  They have different names, different personalities, and different aspirations...but their physical characteristics and clothing are identical!

Has anyone else had this issue?  I just delete the duplicates (the safe way, of course), but I'm still thinking...what the fudge....

Downtownies are made from full sim templates, including appearance, clothes, makeup, accessories, hair and so on. Because the game is stupid, it has no check for whether a template has already been used or not when it creates a new downtownie. So, when you mass-create downtownies using the mailbox, there's a very good chance you'll get at least one pair of clones. It does no harm, it's just annoying.

Thanks for that info.  I was wondering if it was something I'd done!
