If you delete SDNA files, you will get the Rainbow problem. Don't ever delete an SDNA file, for some bizarre reason it will mess up every other DNA.

RainbowTigress:
I was following the instructions here.

cwykes:
me too!  But I hadn't read it for a while.  Apparently there's a sim deleter tool in the QA version now and when I went back and read the next couple of pages Theo said
"I know everyone - including myself - is eager to use this tool, but deleting a sim's DNA, either by using this tool or doing it manually, will cause the game to wipe out the recessive genes on *all* the neighborhood's sims.

Until that particular behavior is sorted out, I don't think this tool can be released to the public.

A sub-optimal solution would be to leave the DNA record intact, which in my trials carried no side effects.
Therefore, my advice to anyone bold enough to do it manually is to keep the DNA record."

I thought I was on auto-notify for it too and I missed that.  Oh well - here goes checking all the DNA on my sims and finding and editing every post I ever made to help people on other boards with deleting sims!  aaaarrrgghhh!

RainbowTigress:
Good luck on that.  :(

J. M. Pescado:
The official ruling is basically to never, ever, touch the SDNA files. Delete SDSC, SWAF, leave SimDNA alone. If you accidentally mangle one, you're going to end up with a very messy state where the only way to fix it is to extract and re-splice the SDNAs from a backup archive, and the procedure for doing THAT is rather fancy.
