Sharable Custom set of townies?
Jelenedra:
Is there a similar template for the vacation locals? That way, all Hoods would have the same locals?
You're suggestiong the AGS Base Game just to ensure that the template would be compatiable for other players, yes? So, if it was for personal use, I could use my custom content and whatnot? The Holiday Pack kimonos are much prettier than the BV ones, after all.

There is one way to get your custom characters as townies forever: just set up a custom neighborhood as you want it, from SaraMK and Jordi's great guides (put clean templates in place etc), then make a backup of the neighborhood. If you want to revert to your original townies, just delete the old neighborhood from the Neighborhoods folder and replace it with your backup. I like keeping an OFB neighborhood because you can start off with minimal NPCs. You can adjust your new NPCs in-game with Christianlov's great new DNA fixer after you give them face-lifts (available at MTS2_christianlov_769393_CPackEditor_0.2.4.128_Release_x86.zip). I know you are asking whether you can transfer townies, but using Pescado's terrain modifier means you can make your backup neighborhood quite new each time. I don't know if this helps?

I haven't done it myself, but it's worth a try; do the same with the BV hoods (they should be V001 for turists, A001 for Asian, T001 for Island, M001 for Mountain, in NeighborhoodTemplates folder). At least in theory it should work.
If it doesn't work, you may anyway load them in SimPE and perform surgery on those already existent (I did this on mine).

Yes; also, to be sure it will work in any case (original Pleasantview is base game, I don't know if further EPs will modify the hood structure to the point it will not be recognizable or usable when the game will copy the townies in new neighborhoods).
Jelenedra:
Well, this time I decided to make the v. locals in Body Shop, so that they'll be saved there. FOREVER. This way, if I get purge happy, I will have them available to plunk down with minimum effort.

This only works if you're willing to trash the first 'hood you made. However, the general idea does work well if you want to share the entire 'hood.
Jelenedra, if you do experiment with this, would you report back, or share your 'hood? Other people with matching EPs could play with your townies if they're willing to take them as a whole 'hood rather than a template. With SimPE, people could even switch terrains if they wanted.
I also take an age to get around to playing a new 'hood. I don't even have the attention span to finish the townie job; I get bored and go off to play my older 'hoods for a week or two. Eventually, I get back to making townies, locals, socials, then building -- it takes me months. As annoying as it is, I find I don't really want the same townies. I'm much more interested in new faces, so I've used Madam Mim's templates and swallowed some other neighbourhoods as a whole, to satisfy myself.
