Drama Professor & Met Self Fix
Avalikia:
When I have a pregnant sim who is about to give birth to her second or more child from the same man, I go into CAS and make the game generate the same number of sims as children. Then I head off back to the lot for the birth. That way the children aren't clones and it's easy for me to remember how many Sims I need to generate to get semi-unique spawn. I would just use the lot debugger, but my little sister plays the game too and she's the kind of person who says, "Hmm, 'Decimate' sounds like fun! I've gotta try that!" :-X But this system has worked out well. Incidently, is it possible to sort my hacked objects so that they appear nowhere except for a custom collection? It would be easy enough for me to tell her "Touch that folder and you die!"
Kyna:
You could set up a different user profile on the computer for your sister.
She will then only be able to access downloads that are in her profile's My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder, and unable to access your game or downloads.
If she has sims in any of your neighbourhoods, make copies of those neighbourhoods on her user profile so she can still play her sims there.
You'll need to put a copy of the downloads she uses in her downloads folder, otherwise she won't be able to access them. If you want to be nice, you could even take responsibility for maintaining her downloads folder - everytime you update your hacks remember to update hers as well.
Avalikia:
I was thinking about that but our computer is very slow when it comes to rebooting, and we found out long ago that our computer doesn't respond well if we try to load a major program like the Sims 2 and switch users without rebooting (it crashes most of the time). It's just a lot easier if we keep everyone on the same profile so that we don't have to restart the computer constantly. We do keep seperate neighborhoods so I'm not especially concerned, but I just know if I put in a tool that's too powerful she'll beg me to fix any problems she makes for herself.

AFAIK, the decimate option doesn't show up unless you're playing with testing cheats on, and then shift-click on the lot debugger. So you're actually safe there. There's really nothing in the lot debugger that would cause problems in its normal mode, and it fixes way more things that need fixing.

I could not play without the Lot Debugger.
