General Enquiry about MCCC settings

[andypuk1980]

Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this so if it needs moving to another topic then please go ahead.

I've got this wierd occurance happening in Henford On Bagley and visiting the Knomes Arms Pub, basically I'm seeing the same sims spawn at the pub all the time, the local residents and the same sims from other worlds are also spawning or at least arriving in the late afternoon after their work shift, I've stayed at the pub with autonomy turned off and needs decaying switched off to observe for a few days and I'm just not seeing any other sims spawn in, just the same ones over and over.

I have MCCC installed and when checking the population settings for adjust sims on lot, I don't see any options for Henford, Strangerville, or the newer dlc's like Growing Together and High School Years, I am I missing something here? Is it intentional to see the same sims spawn at the pub over and over?

When I visit other community lots like retail or nightclubs in other worlds like San Myshuno etc, the sims spawn randomly as expected, although another related issue is I have never seen any Henford or Strangerville residents spawn  in the other worlds and I do have the MCCC setting for randomize visitings sims enabled.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if it has something to do with Kim Goldbloom living in Brindleton instead of Henford and Alice Martin living in Newcrest instead of Stragnerville and somehow that messed up the spawning somehow. In another save I haven't touched Kim and Alice and left them where they were originally and everything seems normal with sims spawning everywhere no matter whether they are from Henford and Strangerville or not.

Apologies for this being long winded but if anyone out there has any insight or could clarify if it is the Kim Goldbloom and Alice Martin thing causing it then I can make the relevant adjustments.

Ok so I kinda figured it out, it's not MCCC, it seems to be combination of a couple of other mods messing with it, Zeroes Assign NPC Jobs and No random townies together with Bienchens Townieoverhaul lessfame mod, they seem to be conflicting in a way that causes Henford sims to not spawn anywhere else just in Henford.

I'm not going to drop either mods as they do what I want in stopping random townies being generated, allowing me to allocate the townie jobs to sims from my library who spawn as townies and to stop the annoying celebrities infesting every lot.

So I've just stopped using Henford, moved the Sims out and put them in other worlds, if I want to use Henford and do a get famous playthrough then I'll take the mods the out, I have a seperate save game for a get famous playthrough.

I've also tried using Carls Sim Spawner and Filter tool mod as an alternative, but the blocking options simply don't work for me and one option is supposed to block celebrities from spawning at lots, so there you go, if anyone else has experienced the Henford sims not spawning anywhere else and you have Zeroes mods and Bienchens mod thats whats happening.
