Good point Sara.
However my advice was pretty safe. I told him to simply kill off his townies. Not delete them. All in game stuff. You can't really go massively wrong from within the game, so long as you don't start using the more powerful cheats. ( Or use some of Maxis completely fubared options, like family binning, which I didn't even mention). And my advice to makeover the townies was safe too. Can't really go wrong with Inge's teleport bush. And the DMA is even safer.
I know. ;)
Actually, this thread greatly amused me for no less than 5 reasons:
1. It had a newbie who at first glance appeared to be of above-average intelligence (note the lack of horrific mangling of the English language in the first post), and yet turned out to be a BBS escapee after all.
2. It had another newbie, who definitely had a BBS aura around her, and who was apparently suicidal... that's really the only reason someone who doesn't seem to have ever downloaded a hack for the game before would want to go poking into the game files with one of Pescado's advanced tools.
3. At least one of the newbies was twirled around and given a shove in the general direction of a cliff.
4. It had high drama, punctuated by frequent use of multiple exclamation and question marks ("You didn't backup?!?") and CAPS LOCK freaking out.
5. It was the middle of the night, and I was hopped up on coffee and feeling very mean for some reason.
And of course Pescado pointing and laughing is always funny.
All that said, I do feel sorry for anyone who loses a neighborhood, because that truly sucks to have happen.
I admit not backing up was a bad idea. It was an extremely bad idea. And I probably deserve every bit of assholery you guys can throw at me.
I also admit that I am new to SimPE. I'm trying to learn how to use it properly so I don't always have to request things of other people. Trial and error is how I learn best, which is slightly unfortunate. D:
And Theo, thank you for adding your advice. When I get home I'll be sure to try that.

Doing stupid shit, or at least watching other people do stupid shit, is how people learn "common" sense in the first place.
I really wish someone would create a tool that would allow old townies to use new face templates genetically. I don't know if this would even be possible, though.
angelyne:
You can use SimPE to do that. It's not push-a-button easy, but it's not difficult either. All you do is perform a sim surgery on a townie. From within the surgery, you should have access to whatever templates you have installed ( I think, I'm not 100% sure). Then once you have closed the game, you can go to SimPE and fix the genetics so that the new face will be passed to the kids. It's just a 2 step operation. If you also want to change the skin color or eye color that's more steps. So to keep it simple it's best to just stick to the face.
Hmmm maybe I should write a tutorial. I wonder if anyone would be interested.
cyperangel:
i would!

Step 1: Make a backup.
:D
Actually, it probably would help people to have a tutorial. Maybe they'd quit trying to delete sims just because they don't like how they look.
