Neighborhood corrupted by surgery dummies
Emma:
Post in the relevant thread that Roux linked to. You'll get more help that way :)
Noke Wan:
@Emma : I would, but I don't know what link you're referring to.
edit: You mean this tutorial I guess. O.K. I'll try that.

Additionally, there are tutorials at MTS2 on changing sim genetics - there may also be a thread on that at MATY. I know I've changed genetics (sim appearance, etc.) in SimPE without getting a lot of extraneous characters. If you do get other characters, best to just put them on a lot and kill them in interesting ways (do not delete from the sim bin), or use Deleted 2 to expunge them completely.
Noke Wan:
I've read about any tutorial at MTS, ;D also the ones about changing Sims, simsurgery etc. but I must have looked over the warning or it simply wasn't there: that you should never delete from the neighborhood sims bin. That's exactly what I did. In SimPe I now have quite a few unlinked and ‘no character data' clones. I thought it wouldn't do any harm so I left them. But all of a sudden these deleted Sims started popping up as people they brought home from work. Later I had an invasion of gardeners that brought the game to a standstill. Only then I suspected that there was something seriously wrong. There are about 15 gardeners now in my game….
I think I know by now how I can safely get rid of them, the others (the clones without character data) are a different story, I wouldn't know how to get them back in the game in the first place. Besides, I don't know what ‘Deleted 2 ‘ is, to be honest.
Anyway, I think my hood is (eventually!) beyond rescue. I had some hopes that starting with a clean template, it would be possible to just put my beloved Simmies back in, but now I understand they still will be infected with orphaned DNA, memories, wants&fears and what have you.
The only positive thing is that I don't let my Sims reproduce or die, so the DNA effects are minimal. I've done some clean up work on the memories part with the "lot debugger" and the game plays remarkably well. For the moment that is. I hope until Sims 3 comes out….
Still, I'm very angry at Maxis for including this apparently disastrous option ( delete button in the bin ) in their game in the first place! There was no way for me knowing that something simple as that could wreck the game that much. I'm a careful player, made a lot of backups, don't have too many hacks installed and now it's Maxis itself that screwed up my game. >:(

Yes, you are right. The advice "do not delete sims from the sim bin" is not included with the MTS2 tutorials. It is, however, a very bad thing to do.
