How many townies do I need to download into my game to stop the game from generating townies?
If I create my own butlers, mixologists etc but not play them will the game use those if one of my sims hires help? I really want the game to stop generating townies,
I don't think you can stop the game generating townies. And it will sometimes ignore the previous one allocated to a job and spawn a new one. I currently have a population of about 270 of which about 210 are homed. I have 90 NPC type jobs. These are not proper career jobs but things like bartender, massage therapist etc. I get about quite a bit to various venues and I spawn very few new sims; about 5 over the last 14 sim days.
One thing you can do is to grab the NPC with the job and CAS it to your liking. Housing them will stop culling so it is more likely they will be kept in the job and no new one will be spawned. HNY
Regarding everything I know so far about creating homeless and how it works technically, what you describes is standard game behavior, even with limiting mods like MC. Unfortunately there is no solution for this issue (and technically speaking: it's not a bug, it's a feature). Believe me, it's also annoying me. Why does the game create a new mixologist each time my sim enters a bar, instead of using one of the 25 already existing ones? I don't understand...
@Deaderpool already commented this on the MTS MC homepage (link) in many different ways. The following quotes are imho the best summary:

Hey people !
I posted a message of help a few hours ago and some simmers told me my request would find some answers here so … Hi ! : D
(Oh god, I really hope my message is understandable...)
And now, I'm here : ) ! It seems that the MC Command Center mod can help me. In any case, this mod seems craaaazy !!! I just glimpse the extent of its powers but woooah !
I will be so glad to discover this mod with your help \o/ !
Jumped back in here, and I see I'm 29 posts behind. Dropping an anchor so you'll know I'm back and will be around, and that when I see this post, I'm caught up again.
Catch up starting tomorrow (this is my last work night till next Monday, NO 2nd shift incoming!), I'll look at these last 2-3 pages then. Sorry to disappear like I did, holiday stuff got the best of me and I unplugged from 4 to the point I went back and played (unmodded) Sims 3 for a few days. It was helpful, I have some new ideas (settings and options) I'm going to try out with 4.
Relationships are a LOT harder to build in 3 than 4. I'm just saying. And 4 is a much "brighter" game, IMO. 3's houses are cooler, though. But I went camping when I came back to 4, and that was a blast. Two days, and thanks to MC, my simself has maxed herbalism (and a couple of other skills) already.
Friday night written-in Marriage run is looming, so I stopped playing to do a flag blitz. First week, so I want to make sure everybody is right before I let it go. They aren't. LOL!
Expect more. I'm back. PROACTIVE is my word for 2017. Let's rock!

Hi and welcome to the Forum!
Do you already use MC, ideally including the MC Pregnancy Module? Information is priceless for quick answers...
If so, use this setting to control offspring gender:
Computer/Tablet: MC Command Center > MC Pregnancy... > Offspring... > Offspring Gender...
If not, start using MC
If you have any further questions, please ask.
Anyway, I will have to update the mod again (unless another patch happens before I could do it again, lol).
Hi yes, sorry xD! I already use it! For whatever reason, it only lets me force male offspring and not female. I've just uninstalled and reinstalled and will check it out to see if it works!
If your sim is already pregnant, you can subsequently change number and gender of the offspring. You have to click on the pregnant sim and select 'MC Command Center' from the pie menu.
Sim: MC Command Center > MC Pregnancy... > Offspring...
✘Note: This option is only available, if the target sim is currently pregnant. Otherwise it's hidden.
Hi and welcome to the Forum.
I don't speak Mac, but in the end it should be the same as in Windows.
The 'mc_settings.cfg' is automatically created during the first start of a MC modded game, containing all the default parameters. No need for a special pre-configured one. Changes will be saved also automatically and it will be maintained during updates. It's a good idea to keep it and to backup it regularly (btw backup is always a good idea!).
Same with 'mc_dresser.cfg': It's created by the mod once the 'MC Dresser' module is in use for the first time.
Confirming this with a screenshot made on my macbook of a completely new MC CmD setup before I started the game on it.

MC CmD is available at https://deaderpool-mccc.com/

Hi and welcome to the Forum. Also, welcome to MC!
I don't know if I understand everything, but to put it short, you want to merge
- different families
- from different games
- on different computers
to- one big family
- in one single destination lot
- with proper relationship
right?Wow, that's quite a task.
➽ I would try the following steps:
Now this is a pretty rough sketch and I don't know whether I really understand what you plan to do. Also I haven't done this before in this combination, but I know the single steps you theoretically have to do. Perhaps this might help. If you have any further questions, please come back and ask.

OK - let's see..
Not each of your questions is MC related, but don't worry. There is always an answer....
This can be done by using the debug commands. Debug commands are not a MCCC feature, although they look like being one. The debug commands are a part of the original game and not part of a mod. You can see it the way you use it: you have to Shift-Click on an object or your sim to get access to debug commands. Usually they are hidden, but with MCCC you can make them visible.
In MCCC you find the option for enabling it in:
Computer: MC Command Center > MCCC Settings > Notification/Console/Menu Settings > Console Command Settings > Debug Commands in Cheats
If you have them enabled, you get a pie menu like this when you Shift-Click your sim. Use the button "Cheat Emotion Intensity..." for your game.
This option is not covered by MC. You have to look for a particular mod on MTS (link) - search there for the keyword 'censor'. I won't post it here due to T-rating.
There is one which works excellent: Andrew's Pose Player. You can find it here (link). There are some basic poses included, but you can find much better pose packs here (link).
This screenshot is made with the pose player:
no photoshopping, no post processing except of downscaling - just original out of the game.
There will be no problem, if you combine those mods in your game (I have them also in mine).
If you have further questions, please come back and ask.
☆☆☆ Have Fun! ☆☆☆

This would be a pretty long explanation because there are so many options. It also depends on your way of playing and on your preferences. Maybe you could give some more details about what you would like to change; "as close to Sims 3 as possible" is a bit vague.
All time Top 3 of MC options are
- disabling sim/relationship culling ➽ MC Module 'Population'
- forcing alien abduction ➽ MC Module 'Occult'
- controlling pregnancy/offspring ➽ MC Module 'Pregnancy'
But of course there are much more possibilities.Please have a look at the MC MTS main page (link) where everything about the basics is explained. Install MC, click through the modules and check it out - it's the best way to understand.
Make a backup of your savegames to have a fallback option.
