I have the ultimate collection. I am playing with a few mods, the relevant ones I believe are the various no regen mods and CJ-TownieApartmentResidents.

I just moved a couple into an apartment in my downtown, and the vacant apartments are being populated by my dormies (who were the bin uni students, turned into dormies with the sim blender). They also live in my dorms at the same time. What is causing this and how do I prevent it?

Hmm. I haven't had this happen, not that I know of anyway.

Get the batbox (FFS Debugger) and select "Fix ... Bad apartment residencies" and see if that does anything. Also, you could get TwoJeff's Visitor Controller and ban dormies until all the apartments are full.

I believe it's the CJ-TownieApartmentResidents that's doing it.

Do you think it's because I don't have enough townies to populate the apartment? I figured the game would make some, like it did for my other apartment building (but before I had dormies) but maybe it isn't because of the dormies being available.

Did you try taking the various regen mods out and trying if it works with CJ's mod alone?
I've had some trouble with those on a few occasions when I had mods that change something about who moves in where/how.

Well never! lol

It's possible. I had nearly the same thing happen in one of my hoods. The game was happy enough to use townies in my apartments, but once I added the Uni sub-hoods I suddenly had dormies everywhere The selection is random and from the whole list of available townies/dormies, as I understand it. In my case my dormie population was substantial enough for their inclusion to be noticeable.



Buh..? XD

I've also had the same issue and I created dormies before I created townies, so it isn't the order of creation that is an issue. I guess there must therefore be a conflict with the dormie mods. I'll have to try removing those mods and hopefully the game won't spawn dormies and hopefully they won't appear in my apartments
