Keeping A Custom 'Hood Alive
Sparks:
Is there any way to do regular maintenance to a custom hood to keep it going?
I haven't seen any problems that removing hacks didn't fix, but after reading some things
around here, I wanna make sure I can prevent problems in the future.
All SP's and EP's installed. The hood in question has at least 1 sub-hood of each type,
EXCEPT no vacation hood. When it was created I knew nothing of clean templates. I've used
Deleted 2/Theo's Sim Deleter Tool to do some basic clean up of the pre-made Sim Bin families
that never saw the light of day. Never moved any occupied houses or Sims to the Sim Bin.
That didn't really remove much.
I guess the real question is, is it inevitable that any hood would stop working? Become FUBAR'd?
Too many characters? Right now I'm at 800+. I also have HP's Uber Mega Hood that came with 1,000+
characters so, I'm not too worried about the amount...or should I be?
I'm an anal retentive n00b and wanna do all I can to help myself out before bugging people with actual problems.

With awesomeware critical fixes installed from the Director's Cut, there is no particular reason to believe that your hood should be doomed unless you do something to doom it. Don't move occupied lots to or from the lot bin. It is not "inevitable" that your hood should stop working just by itself. 800 characters is not critical.

If you want to be anal, or are noticing some slowdown, a good habit is to use the lotdebugger to clear gossip periodically. At the least, clear it from the dead. I clear about every generation.
J. M. Pescado:
800+ characters with full expansions is considered to be within normal parameters. There is nothing to worry about.

Also, while moving occupied houses in the lot bin is dangerous, it is in no way dangerous to move sims in the sim bin. As long as you don't delete them of course. They end up just being townies until you move them in somewhere.
