I haven't played any of them very much because of lack of time and the aforementioned computer problems, but I have four custom neighborhoods. One of them, that I created before the Nightlife EP, I cleared out completely with deleteallcharacters. Only recently I found out that it's not a good thing to do, so I wonder if I've done some irreparable damage to the neighborhood or is there some way I could fix it? In the neighborhood I have 66 character files, 76 Sim Description files, 276 Sim DNA files and 243 Sim Wants and Fears -files. Is this normal or has something gone horribly wrong?
This seems mostly normal, but you might want to purge the SWAFs that don't correspond to an SDSC and reset the Sim Creation index. Don't touch the SDNAs, or bad things happen.

I cannot really help you in any way, but I just wanted to mention that your English is very good. Your post was very comprehensible and nicely laid out. I'm a second-language English speaker myself, and I always appreciate adherence to linguistic rules, and people with a flair for the written word.

Your sim DNA and SWAFs totals should be less than the number of sim files (SDSC) files - all those extras came from the sims you deleted with DAC and that's why it's been found to be not a good thing. It leaves all that crap behind and worse, that crap gets attached to new sims and corrupts their files. You can delete the SWAFs because they are labelled with the sims name (click on them and find out). If the SWAF doesn't have a name attached, it isn't attached to anyone. Deleting sims DNA without the original sim file is not possible because there is no label (easily read anyway) and you can't tell whether the information is attached to a sim or not. I think the advice, already posted by others, to clone your existing sims (if you really want to keep them) and rebuild using the clean templates is the best advice.
