NPC Creator - Make Vacation Sim (Local) fix

[Ellatrue]

I had that problem with making them into townies, too- it only listed the names of current townies, not the sims on the lot.

D'you think it might work if I used the townie brick to make them townies, and then vacation sims? Or am I just doing this wrong?

Do I have to have them in a vacation hood lot for it to work? I didn't merge them with an existing family, I just plopped them down in the main hood on a new lot (the subhoods had already been created). And, as I understand it, the townie brick can't make vacation locals. Is that correct?

Are you talking about the npc creator? That doesn't list sims in the current family or playables if I remember right. You'd have to use something like the townie brick or one of Inge's teleporters to make them townies first.

Yes that would work, but wouldn't make sense unless you're doing Tourists. The townie brick has an option for Asia/Mountain/Tropics locals.

No, it can be used from anywhere. I just merge families when I'm making townies so I don't have floating family information in the neighborhood package, so like making a family of 8 sims changing all of them except 1 to townies, then creating a family of 7 and moving them into the house with the left over guy. Make sense? The townie brick can make Vacation Locals, that was it's original purpose.

Thanks for clearing that up, Argon. I think I'm just going to give up on the illogical NPC generator (why would it list current townies for "make townie?") and use your townie brick instead.
