Sneak Peek: NPC Household Variety

You know how almost every single NPC family the game generates is a single parent with one or two children? And how your neighborhoods are overrun with single Sim households? Most mods that strive to address this adjust the game's household spawn templates, but personally I've never seen any noticeable improvement in the makeup of my townie households.

Over the last couple of days, I found out why.

It's not the templates. It was never the templates. It's something way deeper, and I've spent WAY too many hours investigating (and patching) it already.

The header image of this post is a peek at what my household manager looks like with the in-dev mod working.

Couples. Families. A few singles mixed in. Actual variety. These are the homeless/townie households generating in my save right now.

Full mod + the absolutely unhinged debugging/logging story coming soon. It's got everything: red herrings, an EA bug in a spawn template, and a function that lies right to your face. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, check out my other mods on CurseForge!
