And with the SWAF problem I've noticed that Pleasantview seems to have the problem with hanging SWAF's even in an untouched version. So whenever I rest Pleasantview now one of the first things I do is to go in with SimPE and delete all the SWAF's with no sim associated to them. Seems to help the problem.
How do you see them/know they are dangling?
Sorry for not getting back to this earlier Blue, I got a little sidetracked with a sick daughter yesterday. The way I understood it is when you look at all the SWAF's the ones that are dangling do not have a sim associated with them. So I methodically looked at every SWAF using SimPE and if it didn't have a sim I deleted it. It's monotonous to look through all those SWAF files but it only took me about 10-15 minutes and once done it should keep my Pleasantview in better shape (knock on wood). There's a post about deleting the SWAF's here a while back. I go see if I can find it. Here it is- http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,4580.0.html

Over the limit? What's the normal number of Sim description files for a neighborhood like Pleasantview with all expacks installed?
A little aside here:
When I first got The Sims 2 I thought that the townies were a great idea because I wouldn't have to create families just to populate the neighborhood. This feeling lasted approximately 5 Sim days. The third time my married Sim brought home horsefaced homewrecker Goopy Gilscarbo and rolled nothing but "Flirt with Goopy" wants I declared war on all townies. Good feature but poor implementation. Not only are the townies buggy, ugly, and shallow compared to Sims you have created yourself, they also tend to be romance aspiration types, so poor friend/spouse material. But it's the way the game keeps forcing them on you that is really irritating. They harass your Sim at community lots, after work and even when delivering groceries. And once they appear on your Sim's relationship panel he develops townie fixation regardless of his aspiration: for the rest of the week all he wants to do is "Play with townie", "Talk with townie" and "Flirt with townie". I've had a knowledge Sim lose the coveted "Max all Skills" want (8000) to a miserable "Tickle Marylena Hamilton" (250) when he invited her home after work. I want my Sims to be friends with other playables in the neighborhood. Instead I keep getting that retard Goopy Gilscarbo after work.

Ha. Tosha Go is the most annoying townie ever. She's everywhere. I was tempted to muck up all her DNA, SWAF and set her aspiration in red just to see what would happen but then decided to marry her into the Lothario family so she can have Kaylynn, Cassandra, Dina and Nina knocking over her trash can and stealing her newspapers until she dies her own miserable death alone :D :D :D
gali:
SimulatedDork, why do you put so much energy in sims you don't like? Tosha is a teen - send her to college, and keep her in the student bin; end of Tosha, no more annoy.
You don't like any adult? Pull him to the family bin (find own place), and keep him there forever.
I never played with the Oldies and the Burbs, since TS2 was issued, nor with the 4 girls in Strange town, although the simulator sent once one of Polination daughters as a guest to my lot.
Avalikia:
I'm probably just weird, but if I really don't like a non-playable I incorporate them into one of my Sim's families and they eventually die of old age after a long, happy life. The ones I like end up being townies forever.
