Question about multiple universities

So for the sake of the stupid (me), I'm just double-checking that it is OK, and not a VBT to delete a Uni hood, just like deleting a shopping district for example - everyone just moves elsewhere. Right?
I added all Uni hoods, then felt like it was more than I needed. Can I kill two of the subhoods, without crapping on my game?
Yes. It is safe to delete surplus subhoods. I don't think the game will let you delete your LAST one, and you definitely shouldn't do that, though.
pentabet:
Thank you sir, and duly noted.

Shop Assistants (adult 3) - never used?
Could those maybe be the streakers? I remember hearing that the streakers are actually adults rather than YAs.

Random Sims from University who never appear in game (3)

Actually, I think the shop assistants are the baristas. The espresso podium came with Uni, I'm pretty sure.
The "random sims that never appear" I think are, in fact, the streakers. It's just kinda hard to recognise their icons when they have their clothes on. :P

@ Tarlia - no, they aren't. I didn't post my full report and perhaps I should have explained more clearly. This is a list of sim files which appear after the uni sub-hood is added. That's how I did the tests. I created a hood first and listed all the files created (the 390) and then added a university and then listed the extra files generated, then a downtown and so on. The baristas are generated when you create the neighbourhood, before you add a uni so are not included in this part of the list. The OP's original query, if you remember, was what gets added when you add a university? Basically, baristas get added whether you attach a university or not. Even though certain NPCs come with a specific EP, some of them will get generated before an EP sub-hood is added, while some, often those who do not appear unless you have the sub-hood actually attached, don't and then get added when you add the sub-hood, though this is not always the case. The same thing happens with BV, for instance, these people get added to the base hood BEFORE you add any of the holiday destinations (and are therefore counted in the 390).
Hotel Clerk (male 3)
Ninja (male 3)
Unsavoury Charleton (male 3)
Hotel Maid (female 3 - no particular evidence these can't be male, but were female with this test)
Local Chef (3)
Masseuse (3)
and it's only afterwards, when the first sub-hood is added, that tourists and the vacation locals for that sub-hood appear.
@ Rufio - Not as far as I know. The streakers aren't in the list given here - again. as above, it's only part of the report. What I did was list everyone that appeared as I added the sub-hoods but didn't include any sims (until the end of the report) that get generated as you play. The streakers, I think, get generated as you play. They are also YAs - in my game anyway but then I play with empty templates and no regen hacks (when I'm not doing the tests) and NPCs like that get added as needed so in my game they aren't 'originals' so to speak.
edited to add - also, I will point out that there are several sets of 'random sims that get generated but never appear in game' that get added to your neighbourhood's sim files as you add various EPs and/or sub-hoods to a new neighbourhood. This is one (of the many) reason(s) why you would not get me to remove the empty templates from my game under any circumstances.
