Hello! I like the NPCs used for Tumbleton; I was wondering how I can use them as the NPCs for my own hood(i.e. barista, bartender, obedience trainer, etc.). Do I have to wait for my game to generate its own NPCs and change them using SimPe? Or is there a set of mods I can use to do so in-game? I have not figured out how to create custom NPCs like hosts, waiters, etc.
Originally, all the NPCs were generated in the game (either letting the game do it naturally, or using the Townie Gun/external mods), then had their appearance changed using Theo’s Alternate Sim Surgery and all their other stats adjusted manually in SimPE. You so that and can pick and choose which NPCs you want to change in your game.
If you’d like the entire packag,e including townies - you can convert Tumbleton into a subhood, attach it to your main hood, and delete the subhood, leaving the sims behind (it will randomize all the names, though)! You can also download Tumbleton, delete all the lots, and use Mootilda’s Hood Replace utility to swap the terrain into something you prefer, though this method will only work with brand-new hoods that you want to make from scratch, not existing ones. Bear in mind that Tumbleton is a huge hood and had a lot of SimPE work done on it, so I can’t guarantee in 100% that adding it as a subhood is safe for your neighborhood, as it wasn’t its design purpose; make sure to try it on a throwaway hood for several days to see if anything weird starts happening!
I tried putting Tumbleton in the Program Files to replace the default townie pool, but it ended up sort of screwy, so that’s not recommended.
