too many professors...
slurpeefiend:
My style of playing The Sims is to create a neighborhood, use deleteallcharacters to wipe it clean, and play with as few NPCs as the game will let me get away with. Yesterday I finally sent some sims to the university for the first time, understanding that the game would probably generate some NPC to bother me. Along with creating a cheerleader, a cow mascot, and a streaker (one of each... bothersome, but understandable), it also created about twenty professors who now keep showing up all over my community lots. I don't mind having 2-4 professors, but I don't know the best way to get rid of the rest of them without causing a lot of problems. I could just wipe them out by deleting their character files using Sims2Pack Clean Installer (which i've tried in the past with other unwanted npc's), but my sneaking suspicion is that simply deleting them that way will cause genetic problems in future characters, and will eventually lead to my neighborhood blowing up. I'm also about to start a fresh new neighborhood, and am interested in preventing the same thing from happening in this one. I already tried to generate a professor or two so the game wouldn't bother making any more when I sent someone to college, but couldn't find the option on anything I tried. So I have two questions:
1) How do I get rid of all of the unwanted professors in my old neighborhood?
2) How do I control how many professors are created in my new neighborhood?

24 professors is the standard number (I think it's 24) - it's two professors for every major at every level - something like that. Anyway 24 it is. I have just made a new neighbourhood the Jordi way (I hope you're pleased Jordi) with no NPCs at all and have yet to send anyone to Uni. I'll see if that generates the full set when I do I suppose. Do you have the antiredundancy hack in?

Oh yeah! The antiredundancy hack is what brought me to this site in the first place.

Well, I'd guess then that the game needs all 24 professors to run University properly.

If that's true, then is there a way to keep them confined to the university, or to keep them from showing up anywhere else in the game?
