Wanting to Re-Generate my Townies.
Solowren:
I've decided that I want more interesting Townies. Mine are boring. :(
So I'm going to download some new face Templates. What I want to do is find a way to wipe all of the Townies that are in my neighborhood already and then make new ones. I know how I would go about making the new ones, but it's the nuking of the current ones that gets me.
Would it be safe/possible for me to move all of my playable Sims to my desktop or something, load the game, DeleteAllCharacters, spawn new Townies/NPCs, quit game, move playables back in? Or would this create a BFBVFS?
I've read quite a few of the tuts out there for creating complete custom neighborhoods, but I haven't seen any that involve already existing neighborhoods. Can anyone more awesome than me give me some input?
EDIT: Just learned that all Sims are kept in the same file, correct? So I guess I can't just move my playable Sims out. Does anyone know how I could just get rid of my Townies then? Well, I could just kill them all....

ack. No. Put that mouse down and step away from the computer s-l-o-w-l-y.
For one, deleteallcharacter has officially been stamped as a very-bad-thing TM. For two there is no way to prevent your characters from getting nuked. You cannot put them on your desktop and put them back. Well you could, but that would be even worse than a deleteallcharacter. I won't even mention it, in case you get ideas.
You have two options here.
one) Kill all the towniesk individually. There are about a million and a half ways of doing that. Might be slow. But then again you might enjoy it, who knows. Let the inner psycho come out. ALthough that is not going to improve neighbourdhood bloat
two) A better, sneakier, solution would be this. Keep your townies, but spruce them up. Use Inge's teleport bush to drop them into your secret laboratory and use DMA's "thingie" to perform surgery on them. You can also use it to change their appearance, buy and change their clothing. Voila. New and improved townies, without increasing the bloat in your neighbourdhood.
If you're a perfectionist, you might also fix up their genetics in SimsPE to be sure that they pass off their good looks to their kids. Or not. that might make for interesting stories lol.
Solowren:
I knew it was a good idea to ask here first. D:
I'm actually thinking of just getting rid of the Townies for good. I don't really use them ever. I have JM's No Townie Respawn hack, so I think I'll just kill them all. :D

Grab new face templates, generate townies, tweak and enjoy. This can help with townie re-population phase.
