Just a save won't prevent the randomizer from creating new sims "out of the pool". I hope a real update to the mod is in the works.
No, you need MCCC for that. You can tell it to grab right out of your tray file gallery. Or to not make randoms at all.

Alright, I get it now, but the sims is notorious for magically making offspring not match its parents. I appreciate the effort, but a mod that lets you control the townie generator itself would be the ideal.

Several causes for that one.

1. The "Neighborhood Stories" feature is spawning random adoptions (despite the pound being empty), which then magically generates random babies. Disable that option.

2. Purely cosmetic issue: Baby skins are often incomplete and thus the baby receives a random skinstone until it ages up, whereupon it becomes normal.

3. Broken CC: Some skins do not include data for other age categories, so the result is that a random skin is used instead.

@Norfleet is absolutely right. What I do is have my gallery full of premade sims, tell MCCC to grab from those if it needs anything (be sure to have plenty of ghosts and aliens) and turn off the random stories. I also turn off aging except for played sims so I can swap to other sims in other worlds and not have a mess. There is a good mod that lets your friends age up with you but no one else too.

My solution is just to designate one household the "keystone" household, and only turn on world aging when playing that one household.

Heya

"Ugly sims" have always being a problem peoples had with the game, it's just until now they called them "ugly" and not negroes, this is not new, I've personally always being using the mod "Zulf_NoRandomGeneratedTownie" instead of MCCC, since it's less intrusive, and manually edit all the townies to create the perfect eugenic utopia.

I'm glad to see some peoples still working on this issue, thanks you kindly to the author !

No, generally, when we say "ugly sims", we don't mean that they're negroes. We mean that they've managed to combine features to create a truly distasteful combination that resembles practically no naturally-occurring human, negro or not, then slapped with a Japanese name. Your immediate reaction is simply "WTF is this ****?".

I, for one, generally do.

I agree with everything you said, although my point was that this mod specifically addressed this particular issue from a different perspective, which is DEI, and while it is correct that it plague the game, nasty looking townies are nothing new.

I unironically believe his mod would appeal to all TS4 players if it wasn't presented in an antagonistic manner, giving everyone the option to have a "homogeneous population" as a base, rather than the "all random" abominations the game offer as of now.

The Sims series has always had a fairly diverse cast, but in the old days, the cast was diverse to make it interesting, rather than to push an agenda. It was also more subtle, so the player had the option to embrace it or not, rather than pushed directly in your face. Are they a gay couple or just flatmates? You decide! Now, it's pretty much explicitly stated. Even there, the results are weird. One character is explicitly a *****. But apparently you can also milk a *****. I didn't know you could do that? CAN you actually milk a *****?

The mod's presentation is definitely antagonistic, yes. The V2.0 version in the other thread even more reactionarily so. Is it really so wrong if the Mexicans in Mexico remain Mexican?

That would be great, for each region to have it's own, self contained, and plausible ethno-cultural themes.

the most recent region added, Nordhaven which is basically Norway, is an absolute disgrace as it doesn't have anything Norwegian but instead offer a single mother negress, interracial and gay couples, none of them Scandinavian, while at the same time Mount Komorebi is 100% japan, with culture, esthetic and traditional families.

So it's an accurate depiction of modern Scandinavia...

Realistic. Admittedly, at least SOME of those characters are simply older-sims-games inserts, so we can ignore them, since their injection is more Old Sims Game Cameo For Theme rather than an obvious "forced diversity injection". There is also a Pewdiepie character.

Well, not quite. That one dude has his white Amerifat weeb wife.

The neighborhood that is actually entirely ethnoculturally homogenous appears to be Tomarang, the SEA-themed Neighborhood they added in For Rent, where everyone seems to actually look like they're from SEA: The neighborhood is entirely brown.

first line of the mod's description:
[...] For example, Sims living in Willow Creek are more likely to have African features and use a mix of French and Spanish names to match their Creole heritage.
next step is turn San Myshuno into a fentanyl hell hole with BLM & rainbow flags, littering in the street with all buildings vandalized but the statue of saint Floyd, wouldn't that be just nice ?

Great idea, horrendous execution, thanks for the suggestion though.
