Townies be gone forever!?

I used your tutorial jolrei to make the clean neighborhood...
Heh. I believe that tutorial, for the most part, was by Jordi and others. I contributed something on cloning sims at some point - useful if your 'hood asplodes before you're done with your favourite sims, or for building custom-made townies. Anyhow, with your play style, I can certainly understand why you don't want any townies.
Orange Indigo:
I used a clean neighborhood template and I didn't like it. Maybe that was just because I actually like having townies. I think I'm kind of alone here, though.
As for them being gone forever, you can always use the townie creator that is in debug mode if you desperately want townies. That way, you can change sims into townies, too, but you probably already knew that.
You can use SimPe to change their names, and I think it's a relatively safe thing to do, too...
Zazazu:
I use clean templates and then randomly generate. I just don't want the same-old EAxis townies. Depending on how big I want a 'hood to be, I might generate 10 townies or 40. My current 'hood is at 36 or so after marry-ins.

SimPE is fine for changing the last name of sims, but it's not so good for changing the first name of sims. The first name is stored in a couple of places, and if you change it in SimPE you are only changing it in one place not all of them. If you want to change a sim's first name, it's better to do it in-game using a hack like Pescado's lot debugger or TwoJeff's SimBlender.

Oh! I did not know lot debugger could have this option! Just installed director's cut. This is good, because like I mention, Mac user can not utilize 0simPE or many other 3rd party client option made only for windows (like clean installer). Often a keyboard problem for naming baby occurs in my game with Å or ⁄ (box) before the type name when I press enter too fast (because of language settings for keyboard) happens too often. I just ignore as usual but I can go fix some names now ;) Neighborhood is going along ok so far without townie, there is small lag for creating NPC at first time but after all plays fine.
Update:
Well there is a crash problem now but I don't know if its cause lack of townie but it is the only neighborhood happening now (and only one without townies). Even when I took all downloads out. I create a lot, build a bit (no cheats or custom content) and click go back to neighborhood view and client crashed. I restarted and loaded up neighborhood and everything is there saved and I enter lot again and it's normal, but when back to neighborhood, crash again! Tested my other neighborhoods they are not having this problem :( I can only think of two reason - because of no townie, or bad .sc4?
