Regarding UnifiedBilling, are these unselected playables safe from the repoman?  Edit: I am referring to the eventuality of family funds reaching zero.

Regarding EmulateLegacyBossBug, I would only use this so my sims automatically know someone at work.  Would the old cap at level 5 for bosses be adequate in these new situations?  I would like to avoid some unqualified promotions.  

A question about demotions, do demoted sims not start fresh on job performance?  With the number of firings, it seems this is not the case.

Before the two mods were combined, I don't recall ever having access to, I'll call them, breeding stock (BS) sims.  I'm not concerned about ISM's normal homeless.  In a normal ISM game BS sims would never have interaction with playables.  AM uses BS sims as bosses; will it ignore them in other regards?

Edit: Apparently, ISM only places those BS sims during its setup then doesn't clean up after itself.  I destroyed all townies; ISM immigration continued as normal without any further homeless being created.

 

ISM also saves a list of all your library bin sims as homeless.  Somehow they don't move into town, like service npc's, nor age.  Apparently they're just there as breeding stock.  My library happens to contain archetypes that I've made personally, top level bosses for each career to prevent fewer unqualified promotions.  Since they're homeless in ISM, AM uses them as bosses in those test neighborhoods.

On another note, ISM may be counting lifetime reward traits as regular traits.  I'll actually play a "backstory" of some families, then place them in the bin to incorporate into my main town.  These sims tend to have purchased traits.  All of my immigrants in ISM start with seven regular traits.

Well, that's a godsend.  I didn't think you could ignore the file entirely. 

Edit: If you are playing with immigration from your bin and considering turning ISM on and off in the same neighborhood, be sure to delete your townies as you go from ISM to AM.  I don't know what AM would do with all the archetypes ISM saves as homeless.

ISM still does a couple things that I don't want in a neighborhood that I care about, but at least it is easier to switch to it when my wife wants to play!

In the Careers xml, what does a negative integer signify in MaxOfficeHolders?  Specifically, I have two mayors in my game.  Mayor has a -1 for MaxOfficeHolders.  What behavior should I be seeing?

Have you found a way to block outgoing connections without using a third-party program such as Little Snitch?

I find the population cap (8 times the # of private lots) to be good.  The population for ghosts looks limitless, however.  Do the ghosts breed on their own?  Do NPC's breed at all?

The last try, and peak, was 928.  The first was between six and seven hundred.  The first try definitely had some bugged plants (some unbendable, and one or two overlapping plots), but I didn't detect any of those on the last.

I decided to run a massive farm through the ringer in a test hood to see if it would be viable for regular gameplay.  I've run the scenario through a few time and it always gets to the point of "Too Many Iterations" errors from Macrotastics in conjunction with BRU and your test garden files.  Do you already know of a set breaking point with number of plants &/or employees?  I've attached the logs from the last time through.  I hope you find them useful.  I can recreate the error if you need some info that I may have left out.  If you can suggest any workarounds or let me know of a conflict from my end, please do.

Could someone point me to the right BCON (or otherwise) for raising the employee limit past 8?

Thanks.  I was looking in that one this morning and glanced right past it.

How do I change the global constants that determine the season length?
