    I've seen this video as soon as it came out, I don't know why I got around to leaving a comment just now 😆😆
    I kinda regret not mentioning this in my video, because I got a lot of questions about it afterwards, but yes, you are correct: a functioning service NPC is a household + Orig. Guid. The reason why is because:
    1. If it was just the household, then the game wouldn't know what NPC to spawn for each job (they share households)
    2. If it was just the Orig. GUID, then the game would try to employ Sims that have been added to a playable family (after all, you can marry Sims like maids, delivery people or gardeners without cheats or mods).
    Great video as usual ❤

      I asked on reddit a while back how I would go about getting adult and elder NPCs for a uni I wanted to make, and was told my best bet was to just edit the ones that spawned naturally. I straight up asked if I ould just make them mayself and change the GUID, I was like "I saw Tanic sims 2 talk about doing that, what was she talking about then" lol
      Luckily I'm lazy and haven't started yet lol

    You can use Lazy Duchess's mod or rather an add on for the RPC launcher - it's called [TS2] Sim Bin NPCs [at their Patron]. It takes sims from your sim bin [from body shop] - their appearance. It spawns NPC-s with your looks

    Very useful! I'm glad you alse still use the insiminator a lot, I feel like it's never mentioned or recommended anymore but I love having the version where you can click on the floor and spawn all the various objects for it :) I use it all the time for summoning then deleting sims from lots while doing makeovers, sorting their careers out, fitness, reproduction...

    Ooo I hope I can make the OFB reviewer. My method for custom townies was to spawn them with the NPC & Townie Maker gun and then use Alt Sim Surgery to give them a new face/appearance. However I always have to wait for the game to spawn an OFB reviewer naturally since they aren’t an option on the townie gun.
    I also wonder how the game will react if you use your method to “break the rules” for gendered NPCs like the matchmaker and nanny has to be an elder female and the Headmaster has to be male, and the Butler has to be male, etc.

    I want to create an army of Servos that look like regular Sims and replace every service NPC with them. This way, I won’t have to manually age them up along with my other Sims during my rotational, immersive playthrough. I even have a storyline planned for the Servo takeover! I just don’t like the idea of regular Sim NPCs being immortal forever.

Currently I always spawn them on Sim owned community lots and have to sell them the clothes I want them to wear and convince them to get a make over which is a bit tedious. Yeah I could use gussy up but I'm too lazy to install it.
