Sharable Custom set of townies?
Jelenedra:
Since so many of us use the clean templates and hate the MAXIS fugly townies...
Is it possible to make up a custom set of townies that can be traded between other neighborhoods?
For example:
Create empty neighborhood.
Make dozens of townies.
Makes dozens of Vacation Locals.
Make 1 or 2 NPCs.
Now you're hood is ready to go. So, in theory, can you make a copy of the character folder for use in other games and/or other empty hoods? So that you don't have to go through the long drawn out process of creating 30+ townies? Also provides the added bonus of being able to share a MATY cast of characters that are ready to go, just plop down in the characters folder and viola!

Madame Mim has neighborhoods at Genensims that seem to do this. I keep planning to try them, but haven't yet. This is, admittedly, not helpful in itself, but it looks like a good place to start.
Madame Mim:
You can't actually just trade townies, but you can make templates. Marhiz and Marvin Kosh did some work on templates other than just for townies and NPC's. The consensus is that you have to either work with Numenors anygame starter or get really proficient at deleting Sims.
I'll also put some info on the threads that these discussions were in when I find them. To start with though I'd read SaraMK's thread on clean templates. There's a lot of information there as well as some other links IIRC.

Should have some useful information.
Jelenedra:
Well, I have read the clean templates thread, since I use them and all.
I'm just tired of making a gazillion townies every time I start a new hood. By the time I finish with all of them, I don't want to play anymore. =p I was hoping that I could copy of the characters folder or something once I finish, to copy over to new hoods whenever they catch my fancy.
Marhis:
Well, you can make a template with the townies you want, instead of clean templates.
Put the clean Pleasantview (N001) in your MyDocuments/etc./Nhood folder (zip or move out the current N001, if you have any). Load it in game - better if in AGS with base game only, create all the townies and NPCs you want to use as recurring template. Save, exit.
Move this N001 into Programs/The Sims 2/TSData/Neighborhoods/ substituting the old one (cleaned or original); restore your game folder.
From now on, whenever you'll create a new neighborhood, it will be automatically populated by default with your townies/NPCs set: new fresh copies, with no move in/move out, memories, etc. issues.
