At one point my town was mostly female. I had 8 I think. Im not tooooo picky about having a balance of genders but it does help with playing and experiencing the game. Currently I have 4 males and 6 females
In my town are: Male ones are Stitches, Leonardo, Julian, Fang and the female ones are Ankha, Rosie, Flurry, Shari, Charlise.
So there are 4 male and 6 female villagers in my town.
I'm a little bit of a perfectionist so I really like to have a 50/50 ratio. Right now though my town is mostly female with 6 girls and 3 boys. It'll even out eventually. *shrugs*
It drove me crazy because up until a month ago, my town was mostly boys, with an 8:2 ratio, boys to girls. To make it worse, only one of the boys were cranky, the rest were smugs. I now have 5:4 ratio between boys and girls, and there's a bit more diversity in the boys
