Another tip for naming sims, if you look at a lot of townies from the sims franchise (specially the most lore heavy ones like the sims 2) you'll notice that a lot of their names/last names have a meaning that coincides with their stories. For example, Angela and Lilith being names that mean both angel and demon/ghost, Don Lothario which are both different ways to call someone a womanizer, Olivia Specter (which comes from spector) is in charge of a large graveyard on her backyard and she's rumoured to be a serial killer. There's lots of more examples, but I think you get the gist, try to look up names that have some sort of meaning that matches your sim's personality or story
i'm so glad the algorithm led me to your channel! i started trying to make a save file of my own earlier in the year but was clearly not equipped enough to make it through. your tips throughout all your videos so far have been incredibly helpful and inspiring! i hope that, one day, i can complete a save file that is completely my own :') looking forward to your next video!!
Wow, thank you for this. This has inspired me to create. I had never thought of approaching the game as if I were creating a world like I do when writing novels, and how much deeper the story goes when the world is filled with not just random NPCs beyond the main characters, but actual world characters with a story and a life outside of the main characters. I hope you find the time to keep creating these videos. You are inspirational.
That is such a cool way to look at it, it is like when we create worlds for books! Thanks so much for the kind words too!! Glad I have inspired you to create, good luck!!!! You got this!!!
You should definitely keep making videos - you are very good at it! I enjoy listening to your ideas and find the methods you use really helpful. Thank you for sharing 💕
I hope you continue with this series, I really enjoy your comments, i'm 100% sure more people will come if you keep up the good work you're doing now 😊
I just came across the NPC Control Mod myself and would love a review video on it. This video series is super helpful. I really appreciate your "right to the point" approach. Other videos can take too long to explain things IMO.
And now I must complete a save file of my own 👀 I've never heard of that mod before so would love it if you could make a video on it! It looks so cool! 💖
Wow! I have to admit, I really struggle with create a sim 😅 I find it really difficult! Creating sims is definitely the dreaded part of making a new safe for me, so thank you so much! Also, don't worry about being extra :D I was planning on writing down the number of townies in all the households RIGHT BEFORE you mentioned your save file! You're a life saver! Thank you so much lol. Also, I use baby name sites too ;) teehee. It feels more personal 🥰 I hope everything goes smoothly with moving back 🙏 wishing you all the best!
Thanks so much for the kind words!! I am glad to hear that you found this video useful for the dreaded create a sim process!! Good luck on your own save file! You can totally do it, even doing just one family a day is something! You got this!
@@simsbysky7000 aww thank you! I have decided to do what you do and make the same amount of sims with the same life stage as existing families 😁 it is going well! I just completed the first one. He he!
I want to make a save file just for San Mayshuno, with only Adult / Young Adult sims. This feels more fitting for city life imo. BUT, then I start to wonder about the sims required for the other worlds… I’d stick mainly to San Myshuno, but for “travel” worlds, I’d need sims there as well😅 man. This is overwhelming.
I wish I was as rajin as youuu I don't how to translate that, closest word would be industrious - making a whole save file that's just entirely yours 😍😍
Did he finally give us an updated NPCC version for public? Otherwise the mod won't work anymore if you download it from this website and you have to get it over patreon. But I don't know if he keeps it updated there, because I heared he wasn't around for a while???
Zero has a free mod “Assign Npcs Roles.’ It has very basic functionality, but it’s updated and not locked behind a paywall (it’s on patreon , but a public post). They’re usually pretty good about keeping their mods updated.
He hasn't been around in a minute, so the mod is a little outdated, but so far I haven't noticed any problems besides it not being updated with the latest careers and roles from the newer expansions and packs! I'll go over it more in my next video!
@@simsbysky7000 Well, my game refuses to load when I use this outdated version from the website and no it's not another mod conflicting, I already tried it with only NPCC :
I don't know actually! I just assume the game will need like, a handful of each. So I try making like 3-5 sims the game can pick and choose to show up for a role/career!

Thank you for this video been playing for ... well before Sims 1 anyways and had no idea of this! 👍🏼
I would love an updated job list!
Love how you made a google doc really putting in that effort it’s sweet
Haha, thanks! I just wanted the information out there if anyone would find it useful for when they're making all their Sims!
That NPC list? A lifesaver, I have been running out of inspiration for my sims and I will definitely be creating some of these specifically.
And now I must complete a save file of my own 👀 I've never heard of that mod before so would love it if you could make a video on it! It looks so cool! 💖
Working on the mod video right now actually!!! Might be a minute until it's out, but it definitely is in the works! Good luck on your save file!!
I'm making a savefile and your videos are really helpful! thank you

It's in the works!!

@@Hrrose9281 thanks, I'll take a look at this then :)
She reminds me of the mom off of Rugrats. Phil & Lil mommy.
The document is no longer there😭
Do you know how many sims there are for each of the roles and careers ?
I don't know actually! I just assume the game will need like, a handful of each. So I try making like 3-5 sims the game can pick and choose to show up for a role/career!
Idk if it's just me but I spend like 2 hours making a 3 person household😭
