Oops, did I break it?
mitchellcjs:
If you are severely concerned with your sims and what's broken, there's an easy fix. If you run on a windows system, then just delete the sims2 folder in your "my documents" folder. This will force the game to recreate all the contents from scratch, resetting all your neighborhoods to their original pristine state, and removing any and all extraneous sims and houses. This will also permanently remove any custom neighborhoods you may have made. It will undo any changes you've done to your neighborhoods.
In the future, when downloading houses, occupied or not, I would suggest you use CleanInstaller to install them. CleanInstaller gives you the opportunity to select only the lot itself, without sims, custom content, or hacks/mods.
A few tips: Never delete sims from the simbin. Do not use the petsEP expansion *occupied* houses that came with the game. Don't play with cheat codes unless you know what they do. This includes all the "boolprop" and "Intprop" things available. This site is a gold mine of information on how the game works and what not to do and what to do.

What is wrong with them?
mitchellcjs:
Something about the lot bin being bad for occupied houses. I can't remember, honestly. I was advised to Never Ever put an occupied lot in the lot bin, and Never Ever take an occupied lot OUT of the lot bin. It supposedly breaks the lot in some unknown-to-me way leading to strange-lined memories and general borkedness.

Nasty bits of severed files. Would you go fishing in a pond full of rotting fingers? Besides, they are in ugly Maxis-crap houses.
Empty templates are your friend. You can find them in Peasantry, currently on the first page. The instructions make them look more daunting than they are.

Please excuse me if I have offended you somehow, as it was not my intention at all. Perhaps my statement would seem to be self aggrandizement to someone who would prefer to be dumb, but I was conceding that (alas) I am not any smarter than I look, and pointing that out as a handicap in my plea for mercy should one find my question stupid. I never said I was beautiful - read the post.
No, you haven't offended me, just triggered a small moue of distaste.
Are you saying that you think I would prefer to be dumb? Well of course I would not, I would prefer to remain intelligent. What a dumb thing to say. What you wrote was indeed self aggrandisement, as the following statement indicates. (Are you even aware that the whole world does not spell words in the American way?)

Faceless as forums are, I'm put at a disadvantage here, as I usually get by on looks alone IRL.
Your implication is that you find it easy to get along on your looks alone in real life. Pity about the lack of intelligence.
