Starting "anew"

Pardon my posting twice in a row, but I have another "shot in the dark" question. If, before I even play the game or add my own characters, I install a brand-spanking new Pleasantville, can I change the actual neighborhood but keep the characters? Say I move all families and houses to their respective bins. Can I then swap out the traditional Pleasantville neighborhood for a custom one and then put everything in place there?
That sounds like a question that I had, I just never had the nerve to ask, because....well, just because. I have a neighborhood that has become too small (its the smallest one available from the template) and I would like to move everyone to a larger one. If I pack up every single house and every single sim and move them all into a larger neighborhood, am I dooming them? I was always leery of doing that because, naturally, I can't pack up the NPC's as well.
What if I delete the old neighborhood completely after I moved everybody out?

I know why you didn't have the nerve to ask. It's the same reason I haven't asked the question until now. It's a possible lip-ripper. Oh, well, lips to the wind!

This is BAD. You once again are committing the cardinal sin of MOVING AN OCCUPIED FAMILY TO THE LOT BIN. Don't do this.
What exactly are you attempting to do with Pleasantview? If you merely want to replace the terrain, perhaps because the terrain is not to your satisfaction (Pleasantview may feel small, but it really isn't: I thought this at first, so I made my own custom neighborhood with lots of wide open space, and have since discovered there is absolutely no sane way I will ever use even half of that space!), there's a terrain surgery procedure that I can outline for you that will let you replace the terrain within an existing neighborhood while leaving all houses, relationships, families, and people intact.

Yes! That would be great! That's what I was wanting to do.

Yes please! I haven't been able to get this to work at all.
