unlinked characters - deletion
J. M. Pescado:
You will always get 3 NPCs of each type, but townie and dormie regeneration can be deactivated.
witch:
So what happens when a new n'hood is created, all Maxian sims are deleted, no dormie or townies are regenerated because of a hack, what happens then? Does the game generate certain NPCs as it needs them?
I made a new n'hood, had a lot of fun killing dormies with boolprop cheats but noticed the game was starting to behave oddly so I trashed that experimental n'hood. Now I'm kidnapping townies as they walk by, trapping them in fences and burning them while my families sleep. I have seen odd things starting to happen in that n'hood now too. I have imported one lot with a couple of sims, my bad, but thought I could get away with just one. I have the noregen dormies or townies hacks. I'm getting oddities to do with incomplete processes, like a chance card that vanishes without clicking anywhere, or a sim growing up and not letting me choose an aspiration. I'm thinking of starting a clean n'hood - again.
So back to my original question, what's the cleanest way to start a new n'hood always keeping in mind, 'DO NOT IMPORT ANYTHING' except bodyshop sims!

Yes, the game will automatically generate NPCs. Often too many already, as I'm at a loss for why we need 3 of every type of NPC, really.

I dunno about the chance card, but the aging thing sounds like the Too Many Sims Age Transition bug.

The currently accepted way to start a "clean" neighborhood is to create the neighborhood and attached University, then delete all sims. And never, ever, import an occupied lot or family. Empty lots are safe...if you sweep them for hacks.

Just one more off-topic query... ::)
Will it affect my game in any way if I delete the Maxis default n'hoods before I start playing? I heard talk that the pollination tech was required for alien babies.
or two...
Does deleteAllCharacters include current NPCs?
or more...
When good n'hoods go bad, does it / can it affect core game files? I used to have several the sims 2 folders and renamed them as required. I had a clean one for lot building and so on. Since I got JM's critical fixes I've become lazy.
I'm aiming for a lean, mean, clean sims 2 game! :D

I was up all night doing that. Literally. It's 2 pm here and I still haven't gone to bed yesterday. And I just found out I may have caused problems in my neighborhood by deleting the cellphone tokens from a few sims in Simpe. Sims 2 is a blast, I tell you!
Oh my goodness Brynne. Your coffee machine must be on the brink of a melt-down. I hope that at least your laptop is behaving now.

I got a new laptop. The other one was a lemon and was sent off to be repaired three times in June. I bought it in February. This new one is treating me well. It's not a Compaq. :)
