So let me preface this with sayin that the issue has been resolved. I just wanted to pass this on so if others ran into this they might see this and find this fixes their issue.

I was makin a hood and it spawned a social townie. I have Pes' antiredundancy, nossrespawn, nostrayrespawn, notownierespawn, and Nysha's No Townie Neighbors. I also disabled all the stealth hoods in program files by renamin the folders NeighborhoodTemplate_Stealth (as stated by Moo in her tute). I also did 1 step further and I replaced EAxis' E002 Magic hood with Jawusa's E002 Empty. The game shouldn't of been able to read the folder as it was renamed and so there should not have been ANY character files because of it bein empty.

I did all the checkin for other hidden things - Virtual Store and what not and could find nothing. I am not a techy person so could only look for where I was directed after googling and seein what others had been told. Even with all this I still had a sim spawn. Looking in SimPE it says it was a Low Social.

I'd tried everything I could google and people said to try and anything I could think to try and nothing seemed to work. Each time I made a fresh hood, placed a lot, and entered the lot a Low Social Sim was spawned. If I made a CAS sim I got 2 addition sims spawned - Bogan Social and Medium Social. Yes, I know there isn't any Bogan socials in game that is the name SimPE 77 gave it so that's what I'm callin them.

I did LOTS of different things to test a whole slew of things to try and solve the issue. My C drive is an SSD and I have a D drive that's a sata HD. The HD was what I'd previously had as my C so it had an install of the game. So that was another thing I tested to see if that had any bearing. It didn't. After MUCH frustration, head pounding, others tryin to give ideas and help I gave up for the night.

When you've run through all the options then it's time to think in a different direction and that's what I did. I'd had the thought that maybe the one of my no regen mods was conflicting or was bad/ corrupted. So I took out all my downloads (minus scriptorium as it's an install) redownloaded Pes' antiredundancy, nossrespawn, nostrayrespawn, notownierespawn, and Nysha's No Townie Neighbors, unzipped and placed them in downloads. Started the game and went into a new hood, placed and entered a lot, then closed the game to check. No spawning.

So then I slowly started addin back in my downloads in small chunks, started the game, placed a new lot, entered it and then closed the game and checked. Each time the character folder was clear I'd add in another chunk. I did this until I had all my downloads back in and no sim spawned. The last and final test was to make a CAS sim and place them on a lot. No other sim was spawned.

Sooo .. conclusion was that one of those mods had become corrupted so was not working properly. When I put in a new freshly downloaded and unzipped one it all worked how it was supposed to.

We tend to forget that sometimes .packages can become corrupted at any point.

So I hope that in tellin my problem it might help someone else in solving theirs
