Townie: Difference between revisions

The vast majority of townies in ''The Sims 4'' base game are unique in that they appear to be entirely randomly generated once the game begins, rather than there being a pre-created starter "townie pool" as part of the game files as there was in ''The Sims 2 '' and ''The Sims 3''. In this game, townies are added to Household Management under the "Other Households" tab, in which they can be edited and made playable by moving them in. Randomly generated townies are attached to a saved game rather than to a specific world such as [[Willow Creek]] or [[Oasis Springs]], and as such, can turn up in any location within the game. Many townies generated with ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' also feature Moroccan, Japanese and Indian names. ''The Sims 4'' base game initially had no pre-made townies (all were randomly generated once the game began). However with [[The Sims 4/Patch 73|Patch 73]] the base game included [[Alex Moyer]], a pre-made sim for the game's tutorial. Once the tutorial is over or if the player skips the tutorials and play the game, Alex Moyer becomes a regular townie. This makes Alex the first ever pre-made townie for ''The Sims 4'' base game.

Expansion packs for ''The Sims 4'' introduces numerous pre-made townies. In ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]'', the game ships with [[Captain Whitaker]] (a stray ghost dog) and [[Mayor Whiskers]] (a stray cat), both of which are pet townies that roam around in [[Brindleton Bay]]. In ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'', [[Santa Claus#The Sims 4: Seasons|Father Winter]] (named Clement Frost) will generate as a pre-made townie, although he only shows up during Winterfest holidays and not randomly around town. With ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'', the expansion features several pre-made [[Fame (The Sims 4: Get Famous)|celebrity]] townies, such as [[Baby Ariel]], [[Brytani Cho]] and [[Izzy Fabulous]]. A few pre-made [[mermaid]]s appear as townies with ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]'', such as [[Nalani Mahi'ai]] and [[Ukupanipo Hekekia]].

* ''[[The Sims 4: City Living|City Living]]'' generates townies with Arabic, Japanese and Indian names, who can typically be found in [[San Myshuno]].
