I just thought I'd share a funny moment with you all.
I recently dl'ed and started playing in Evansdale County (found at MySimsRealty.com) because it combines all EPs, including IP.
Anyway, my couple, Sling Bash (musician) and Cleo Jones (architect) moved into a townhouse across from City Hall. Every day, they would go to work but Sling could never meet his co-workers and Cleo never got any interior decorating jobs.
I let them go out but the only people they met were the paparazzi. I struggled to get them both to level 3 in their careers. Winter came and they wanted to through a feast party. I figured "why not", since they needed to make friends.
I had them call to throw a party but the guest list showed up blank. I thought that was peculiar so I went into town mode to see who was in town. (I have Twallan's Master Controller and SP so I can see map tags of townsfolk.)
The only people in town were NPCs. Hmmm :? Then, like daybreak, it finally dawned on me that this town was completely empty and I had to put sims in the houses.
My sims were living in a NPC-run town.
No wonder they weren't meeting workmates and getting opportunities for jobs.
I went to my studio and dl'ed all my created sims and those that were created for me by others. They filled my town and now I get tickled just reading the stories of sims that I know.
Best of all, my sims have friends and Cleo can work.

Good luck with your couple - I bet they are relieved to finally have company!

I usually do. This is the first time I've ever played a world that had no one already in it. In the beginning I thought the game would spawn townies so I didn't worry about it.
I still didn't worry when I let my sims go out because there would be bartenders and paps. I also had map tags showing on the map. I just didn't realize that it made tags for the NPCs.
My bf gave me the weirdest look when I told him what was going on. It took my 4 rl days to realize that my town was empty. :roll:
I've always played with either EA worlds or player-created worlds from CAW. This is the first time I've played with a player-created world outside the forum.
All EA worlds and most CAW worlds (at least the ones I dl'ed) had sims living there already. I thought this one did too. :oops:
