NPC Generation Overhaul

This is a mod to give more variety to generated NPC households!

Edits of household templates to adjust randomly generated NPC households' family structures and relationships.
This is a new type of game mod I have been working on for a while. I've done lots of testing in the game to ensure they work fine. Please let me know if you see any issues!

**Compatible with all my other mods** Base-Game Compatible, but you need to remove any packages tagged with a pack you don't own!!!

Modules of NPC Generation Overhaul

All edited households have a higher startup fund and skill levels, and a lower chance of generating with the Erratic trait.
You can mix and match modules to:
African Male Bug Fix: This fixes an EA bug that causes young adult male African Sims to be generated with Asian features.
Bigger Families: chances of getting more kids, including toddlers and infants; more variety of family structures; parents won’t have the Hate Children trait; the breadwinner parent has the Family Oriented trait.
Dramatic Households: enemies, broken up Sims, best friends, love triangles, woohoo partners, unhappy marriage.
Fewer Elderly Sims: lowers the chance of generating Elderly Sims for roles and services.
Fewer Single Parents: lowers the chance of single mothers and fathers; chances of getting younger kids (toddlers and infants); parents won’t have the Hate Children trait; the breadwinner parent has the Family Oriented trait.
Fewer Single Sims: 50% chances of being married for a randomly generated Adult Sim.
More Gay Couples: greater chances of child-free same-sex married couples.
More Gay Parents: greater chances of same-sex married couples with adopted kids.
Realistic Facial Features: limits natural hair and eye colors in tagsets for Black, Asian, Latin, and Caucasian Sims.
Restricted Clothing Styles: disables using Boho, Hipster, and Street styles for randomly generated Sims (a matter of personal taste).
Rich Tenants_EP15: higher start-up household funds for tenants from the For Rent pack.
Roommate Lovers: chances of households for engaged couples, partners (significant others), romantic interests instead of just roommates.
Skilled Random Sims: more skills; higher initial skill levels for random single Sims.
Skilled Service Sims: more skills; higher initial skill levels for service Sims; they won't have Erratic and Kleptomaniac traits.
Skilled Summit Sims_EP10: more skills; higher initial skill levels for Sims from the Snowy Escape world.
