Can you delete households from the library?

Really good stuff, then. Riverview is packed with an absurd number of Sims. The only thing keeping me from deleting them all is thinking I might be missing something cool that the devs put in. Think there's any thought put into these Sims in the neighborhoods that would make them worth keeping for a playthrough? I was close to deleting them all....I'm probably overestimating EAxis by even asking the question but, it looks like all of the Sims there have some sort of story or position.
Nope, they appear to all be auto generated by some tool as Sims 2 families seem to have been which is why half of them had screwed up family trees and memories or were missing data. I installed Riverview last night and immediately noticed all sims were standing outside their houses. Sure this could be the game just teleporting them there when you first start it for the sake of making sure everyones viewable when you play them but I smelt something fishy. On further inspection, I quickly realized they were fake robots. Take the Carpenters for example. I went to play them because the trailer hinted they were growing something special. Wrong. What I found was they had this huge ass regular boring garden. One just wonders how they managed to plant that entire garden and have zero garden skill. It all's auto generated and fake.

Actually, it is BELIEVED that with AwesomeMod in place, it is PROBABLY safe to delete them.
Well, given my vicious deletions of various townie sims over the past couple of days, I will be able to test this hypothesis. So far nothing bad has happened, but it's early days.
I am moving MATY sims into existing houses (to circumvent the pricetags of new houses) and then evicting the original residents who go to the clipboard and then get deleted. Pending test results as to whether this actually is safe, I suppose this approach should not be advocated.
Personally, I figure if my current hood goes "foom", I can always start another one.

I should have guessed as much. Most games, I feel like I should play "how to devs meant it to be played", but that rule definitely doesn't apply to this game in some of the most fundamental ways. I guess I'll go ahead and do some clean-up and start up a fresh neighborhood.
