too many professors...

If you are willing to experiment, try this.
Change all the professors to infants with SimPe. Disclaimer: I've never done this, I've only read about it.
It seems that changing an NPC to an infant prevents them from visiting other lots. If you try this, I would suggest trying to call them on the phone, to see if it can be done. After all, phone calls to professors can help grades.
You also may be able to chat with them online.
Of course, I understand if you don't want to experiment with this. Just thought I'd pass the idea along.
If that works it would solve-ish my problem. I'm mostly interested in the game not having to load a bunch of useless character files in the first place, and all the great not-having-to-deal-with-them which would come with that.

Maybe people hate teh "lecher" prof i.e. that Drama prof who stalks your sims all the time, even if you haven't met him yet. It seems that he will walk by and ring your dorm doorbell, even if you haven't met him or any other professors yet. He (or she, depending on your game) is a creepy lecherous sim (yes, even the code has a check for Sim - Is Lecherous? BHAV or something like that), and apparently they are meant to stalk you, where ever you go.
I believe they are the profs that Pescado mentioned before, who like immediately get a crush or fall in love with you as soon as you meet them. I do my best to avoid those at all costs. If I see a walk by Prof ringin my doorbell, I just totally ignore him/her. Creepy! Those Maxians have an odd sense of humour. :P

Since you brought this up, I have Dramafix in my game to stop this strange character. When I started my Uni lot I forgot to set TJ's visitor controls to disallow profs, but I hadn't met any yet since I use Squinge's "No meet profs". Then somewhere around 3am this prof shows up and rings the doorbell. I quickly set the visitor controller and he disappeared. But the next night he shows up in the middle of the night again.
How do I know that this was the Drama prof or not? If it was the Drama Prof, I want to report it in the right thread.

I don't think Pescado's dramafix stops those profs, because I have it (it's marked critical) but it doesn't change their behaviour in any way. Lemme check...
Yup. Dramafix fixes "lost best friend" memories and "met self" memories. No claims to fix their stalking behaviour.
Could you possibly have a different drama prof hack?

As seelindarun says, I don't think the dramafix alters the drama prof behaviour. It fixes buggy things about them, but doesn't stop them from stalking you.

If you have InSim, or any of the other hacks (Merola's mind controller or Dolphins thingamajig), you could make the prof selectable. Couldn't you check to see that way? I sort of just assumed that the stalker prof was the drama prof. I vaguely recall looking at the code once, and seeing what it was that identified a sim as "Lecherous" and I think I eventually traced it back to being a drama prof. I forget tho, the details, of how one is classified as a drama prof. :-\
If I find time, I could probably figure it out by looking at the code. But wouldn't you also be able to check by enrolling a YA in that major, sending them to class, and seeing what prof's s/he meets?

What would happen if you just deleted them? Then like with other NPCs, the game would only make one when it was needed...like when you delete all maids in making a new hood, the game only makes a maid when you need one. So unless you try to call a professor in your major, it would not make one, right? *wonders*
