Perma-delete?
uaintjak:
To permanently delete a character, select the character, go to the top where it says "Window" and then select "Resource Actions." A long window will pop up on the right hand side - on the lower half of that window, under "Plug Ins" is an option to delete. Make sure you pick that one, not the first "delete" option. It will ask you if you're sure, blah blah blah.
I've only used it once, on one character, so I can't tell you if it screws up anything or not. I suspect you have to be careful on who you delete, to make sure no other characters have any special memory of the sim you're about to doom. Like no "First woohoo" or whatever.

Mmmm, it sounds complicated! When I delete a sim with the Enhanser - all the memories about this sim, in other sims, dissapear.
For instance, my YA sim was jammed with wishes that Meadow, Randy, and Nicole - which were his best friends - will come to the college. I got mad, exited and deleted all three of them. They were friends of my sim's brother too. None of my sims showed again a memory about the 3 deleted sims.

I was having this problem also, of deleted sims returning. The new version of SimPE, which is in QA testing right now, took care of the problem for me. You can either sign up for the QA, or wait for it's official release. Either way, it will do what you need.
Thanks, I'll look into that.

Currently when you use SimPE to delete characters, it sort of makes them dead but leaves their character file. The reason I say sort of makes them dead is because they're not marked as dead, they're just gone. If you click on the teleporter shrub and choose 'summon' you can still find their names and summon them. However, they'll just kind of drop onto the lot and lay there--sort of deadlike. LOL The character file is kept because of all the memories involved.
This should remove them from play but it doesn't work 100%. You'll see their names pop up on the computer's chat and a few other bizarre things like that. They will be removed from your sim's relationship panel and they're no longer available for phoen calls.
I'm looking forward to the official release of the updated SimPE that will allow proper deletion. Unfortunately I've not been able to afford Enhancer, which is no doubt a wonderful program.

For the moment it won't be included in the official release (which is already out). When I used this tool, it did something to the DNA of all the undeleted Sims - basically, it was reset to CAS default and they carried no recessive genes at all. For that reason, Quaxi hasn't added it to the official version (so yes, you can blame me). It definitely was caused by that function in SimPE, I checked and quadruple-checked before I came to that conclusion. Even just deleting one character totally unknown to everyone in the neighbourhood did it. Whether it was the same for anyone else I don't know, but it certainly had that affect on my game.
