...because the Sulani townies are now invading my save!
I kinda knew this was too good to be true; when you start doing things in Sulani, only Sulani townies will generate, and since the game utilizes the same sims in the pool to generate who is spawned at lots outside Sulani, I got new townies with names I can barely pronounce in my other worlds too! My mailman and several bartenders are already Sulanese (Sulanesian?) and many of my walkby's in other worlds are also Sulani townies as well, slowly replacing the CL townies that used to fill my saves. Can we just tone down the constant townie generation altogether please?
Please tell me I'm not the only one that is starting to notice this...

Though at least for Sulani I haven't seen ANY sims from the other worlds there less I have a specific lot type for them to visit or one of the vampires pop up at night time.
On the plus side, least their clothing choices are a lot better picked.

At least most, if not all, of their clothes match! Doesn't fit too well in Windenburg or Willow Creek, though.

I have seen on the rare occasions, a Sim from the other worlds walking across the area, at least in town; it happens rarely though and they leave as soon as they appear. I do agree with you there that their clothes at least better match the townies that generate lol! I too also have parentless child households generated as well, which presents new problems.
i've got 27 islander townies according to my mod that checks things like that. out of 200ish townies that are still hanging around in my 'other households' list. and since they're the newest, it's what the game wants to keep using when you go anywhere... which i never understood, to be honest. it's like it forgets the old townies exist, even if they don't get culled, so decides to roll up more to replace them... i'd edited those townies to perfection, so keep using them! (...and don't even get me started on the 'bar regular' role...)
as for non-islanders on sulani, the only ones i've really noticed are random alien walkbys (like, virtually everyone not native or living in sulani i see walking by is one of my 40ish aliens. not even half-aliens are showing) and paparazzi/fans if i bring a celeb along. the latter makes sense, of course
I'd expect more alien walkby's in Strangerville than Sulani honestly...
Good grief. This has been one of my biggest fears (aside from a game that was anti-rabbit hole transforming into world of rabbit holes and text adventures). Up to now, I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere. Thanks for the info, OP.

I wish they made a finite number of outfit combinations for townies to choose from and not just any pack, any color, every possible slot.
I wish they somehow matched national names they introduced in packs with appropriate face features/hair/skin tones.
Disable festival outfits for good!
With every next EP, GP and SP it just gets more and more of a freak show.

It seems to now be updated to include Island Living townie names too!
I did seen some such as Lai, Liang, Chin, etc, just to name a few.
Same here. They would have blond hair or something with Japanese names.
Anyways, the game has always been like that. No matter what world you are playing, townies would generate (usually fill up jobs your sims can't get like bartending or something, etc...) and try to blend in.
Lets make this a reality!
From a programming standpoint, this seems like a nightmare to make it work the way it does and a nightmare to make it work so that only Willow Creek townies appear in Willow Creek and so forth.
I'm laughing so hard at this. It's so true xD
I love that the Sims team is worried about representation and adding ethnic culture to The Sims. I think this is really needed. But it is very weird to be in Willow Creek and only meet sims called Aziz Batnukari or HuamHun Amsare.
From today's patch; does this mean no more ugly CL/IL townies? Is the townie invasion finally over?
