Demographic Controls

[funny25]

I recently picked up some more of the Sims 3 DLC, making my old saves broken. Is there a way using NRAAS to control the demographics of a town, such as the ages and genders of all the residents? I want an all female town, but the age is where I'd like a range. Is there any way to achieve this without removing every single male character manually at start?

With Nraas Master Controller you can edit any SIM in CAS.

I'm curious about your broken saves. I've added xpacs in 4 different instances over the life of my game play, and I don't remember them breaking. Starting a new game usually guarantees all new content available, but I also tend to delete all my .cache files anytime I add content, whether it's custom, or official.

 

Also, My game files are the same ones I've used since my 2nd install (hd failure on first). What I mean is after installing the game on a new system, I rename the new folders with BAK at the end and simply copy my original folders (x86) and my documents folders containing CC and saved games/Sims to the new system. I've done this 2 times now and my game and saves continue to function on a system which is 3 systems away from my 2nd install (win xp to win 8.1 to win 10)

 

This was done out of a desire to see if I could continue my game play without recreating all the custom sims I've made over the years. It worked for me. My only broken save to date is a game play session with a long family history that for some reason wasn't importing residents. When I tried to use Nraas to 'fill' my town, something simply broke and the save would freeze after about 2-3 minutes of operation.

 

Once you manage to create a town with your desired demographics, you can save every household to the bin and use them to replace any in future games. A little work now enables your game style in the future to reflect your wants.

 

FYI: I have all disks - no Origin! (no store content either)
