NPCC 1.3.8b / NPC Control Mod (11.09.2023)
NPC Control Mod for Sims 4
The main task of the mod is to prevent generation of a new NPC, forcing the game for various roles and careers (maid, postman, etc.) to use existing Sims. The mod settings allow you to adjust the number of NPCs in cities and jungles, manage the number of homeless and sick pets, disable the generation of vampires and aliens, sad clown and bears, and so on. Work on the mod continues, in future versions will add new features and settings.
Fixed several issues and LEs.
Added some logging. When sim is repurposed or created by this mod it should be logged to npcc.log file that is created in the mod's folder. Please note, that not all sims creation pass through this mod, like premade EA sims, or MCCC can add households to the game etc.
NPCC Retail was reworked and now is a part of NPCC. It is a set of fixes, changes to game mechanics and settings that allow you to adjust Retail gameplay. It is disabled by default. Enable it in Settings if you want to use these options. If you used old version of NPCC Retail mod, please remove it from the Mods folder.
