NPCC v. 1.2.9
Added 2020-04-07 00:58:16 +0000 UTCHi there! So, let's begin
The mod's Settings Menu was revised and categorized, some of the options were renamed and diversified. I hope this allows you to better understand mod's options. New options added I'll mark them in Bold.
Sims Settings category - settings to control sims that mod will use for NPCJob assignments
- Other Households - if Enabled sims from Other Households will be used
- My Households - if Enabled sims from My Households will be used
- Unplayed Households - if Enabled sims from Unplayed Household will be used
- Played Households - if Enabled sims from Played Households will be used
- Homeless - if Enabled Homeless sims will be used
- Residents - if Enabled sims with homes will be used
- Use Homeless And Residents For Normal Career - if Enabled, for NPC Jobs with active careers (Detective, Doctor, Scientist, Actor) Homeless and Resident sims are used
- Famous - if Enabled Famous sims will be used
- Fameless - if Enabled Fameless sims will be used
- Use Selected - if Enabled your Selected Sims will be used
- Selected Sims - use this option to select sims via SimPicker menu. Please note that this option is game-bound, so if you have several games, each with a different set of sims, please keep a separate copy of npcc.cfg for each game.
- Use Settings After Selected - if Enabled Sim Settings will be used in case none of your Selected Sims fits the criteria (for example age or single household criteria)
- Do Not Generate New Sims - if Enabled no new sims will be generated in case none of the existing sims fits the criteria. Important sims like Father Winter should be excluded from that option, but if you'll come across any major issue with using that option - please turn it off and report.
- Use Only Unplayed Households Pets - if Enabled, for in-game situations only pets from unplayed households are used
Do Not Generate category - here you can select categories of sims that should not be generated, there are no new options here
- Pet Walkers And Homeless Pets, Aliens, Sick Pets, Tragic Clown, Vampires Walk By, Bears, Weirdo, University Ghosts, Mascots, Humanoid Bots
Limit Number Of Workers category - use these settings to lower number of sims needed for NPCJobs, there are no new options here
- Disable Shifts, Remove Region and Lot Dependencies with according exceptions
Sim Count Settings category - settings to modify the number of sims in various situations, there are no new options here
- Number Of Barflies, Museum Patrons Native and Tourist, Jungle Marketplace Craft Vendors, Native Customers and Tourists, Background Actors and Producers, Strangerville Venue and Walk by sims, Sulani, Magic and University sim count modifiers
Disable Random Accessories category - use these settings to forbid sims in various situations to wear random hats, glasses, gloves, socks etc.
- Tourist - if Enabled Tourists will not wear random hats, glasses, gloves, socks etc.
- Spa Guest - if Enabled Spa Guests will not wear random hats, glasses, gloves, socks etc.
Note: Please report about other situations with crazy looking sims so I can add them to the list. Thank you
Disable Outfit category - use these settings to change sim's outfits in various situations to Everyday outfit
- Tourist - if Enabled Tourists will wear Everyday outfit
- Magic Apprentice - if Enabled Magic apprentices will wear Everyday outfit
Note: If there are other situations where you think sims should wear Everyday outfit - please report.
Assign and Remove Native options are now Move to/Remove from Region - Selvadorada
If you have any issues - please report.
When I started to work on this update I didn't realize that I will end up reworking the entire settings menu in addition to new options, but at some point, I realized that it needs to be done and I hope that now it will be easier to use my mod for at least some of you.
So I want to apologize that this update took so much time and I can only hope that I can possibly make it up to you by trying to release several updates this month. I owe you that much. Thank all of you for your support, it means a lot to me.
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. Please take care of yourself and stay safe.

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it. I tried to already have them but NPC actors show up instead. It may be better to use the mod if possible.

2020-05-19 01:51:40 +0000 UTCNo, only roommates should be in a single household. Also, there could be some limitations when the job assignment involves a move to another region, in that case, the household should be homeless and other sims in household should be jobless.
2020-05-19 01:33:02 +0000 UTCWell, the main criteria are age and your settings i.e. My/Other households/Homeless e.t.c
2020-05-19 01:27:42 +0000 UTCIt depends on your settings and your sims available. Can you provide an example?
2020-05-19 00:49:01 +0000 UTCHello. Thank you. Can you provide more details? What lots you visit and how many sims and at what moments are generated? Any events happening at the moment? Did you try to lower the university sim count setting? Does the number of sims become stable at any point?
2020-05-19 00:46:10 +0000 UTCThank you! Background actors are any sims with active actors career. You don't have actors in your game? Or you just want to assign this career not via CAS but via this mod?
2020-05-19 00:36:07 +0000 UTCThe librarian should be young adult, is your targeted sim's age is young adult? Do you have young adults without any kind of job in your game? Also, what is your Remove Region Dependency setting? By default, the librarian should be from the same region. As for organization sims, it seems that the game needs more than you have, did you tried to lower University Sim Count setting or assign more students? Do you have SimPicker list empty in any region for any job? If you remove job from someone and try to assign it again does this sims appear in SimPicker?
2020-05-19 00:24:34 +0000 UTCI'll try to test it. But if you tried to use both mods already and got an error - please provide the lastexception.txt
2020-05-18 23:30:51 +0000 UTCI also have this problem, I think that the selection of Sims is harmful, I started my game again, I forgot this selection, therefore, IDs remain in the data and they are Sims which no longer exist. I removed this selection, I have Sims without shelters that are generated, I don't know what to do .... I will put back the previous version!

2020-05-15 22:38:16 +0000 UTCDoes this version conflict with LittleMsSam “Choose your roommates”??

2020-05-11 15:08:07 +0000 UTCI'm having a lot of trouble with the SimPicker and also with university sims. When I select Sims then go to assign NPC job to another sim, the menu is empty. Also, organization sims do not show up at all for me unless I turn on generate new sims. I thought maybe some weren't eligible, but when I turn on generate new sims, it creates new sims but also picks my existing sims that I was trying to get it to work for in the first place. I want it to pick them without me having to accept newly generated sims. Lastly, the librarian option shows on Add NPC job to other sim (the empty menu for me) but it is missing from Add NPC Job when you click the target sim directly. Thank you!
2020-05-09 16:38:39 +0000 UTCThanks so much for the awesome mod! Couldn't play without it. -- But I have a question, hope I'm in the right place. Is there an NPCC option for "Actor/Background Actor" or something similar? Thanks!

2020-04-17 01:52:05 +0000 UTCanother question: do the NPCs ALL have to be in single households to be NPCs?

2020-04-16 20:28:23 +0000 UTCI have a question, what are the criteria of the jobs? Some of my Sims aren't showing up when I try to give them a job

2020-04-16 20:23:58 +0000 UTCThank you,! I love the new explanation!
2020-04-09 18:07:22 +0000 UTCLove the update, the menu should be much simpler now. I appreciate all you did!
2020-04-09 16:33:48 +0000 UTCthank you Paulson, wish you the best and take care of yourself too ♥
