With this mod, celebrities will no longer invade all lots in your neighbourhoods. The mod also reduces the generation of new townies significantly. The only Sims that will be generated are those with special traits or careers required. The mod comes with several modules so you can temporarily get rid of modules if you feel you need more Sims of a certain kind.
Only install one version of the unimportantsims package. Please also make sure you only use on of the pet related packages: either nonewpetstrays or nohiddenpetstrays.

townieoverhaul_lessfame_ecoinspectorgreenfiend: Stops generation of eco inspectors and fills this role with any existing Sims with the green fiend trait.
townieoverhaul_highschool: The game will fill all high school student roles with existing teenage sims instead of creating new ones. It will prefer filling the roles with teenagers your teenager has a good relationship with.
