The more I learn, the more I realize what a noob I am...
Ness:
So... if one merely deleted the character files from the appropriate directories under program files, is this enough? Or is there further work that needs to be done to avoid strangeness and future hood explosion?

I have a set of lots I got from MTS2, which combines two things I adore - very small lots and an urban city theme. I even aquired a copy of SimCity 4 (arr!) so I could make my own map with the streets very close together, to reflect the small size of my new lots. (The widest point between streets is 4 squares... so it could take one 4x4 lot which would take up the whole space, or a 1x1 and a 3x1.)
Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! Where in the world did you get the ability to have 1x1 lots and can I have a piece of that? I would love 1x1's and 1x2s for an urban neighborhood! If it's possible, I absolutely must create a new custom neighborhood this weekend.
I generally make my own terrains in SC4 as well. If not for Sims2, SC4 would have left my shelf long ago.

It's a Marylou production over at MTS2. Search it there. It is very spiffy on my spiffy scale, and I think I'm beginning to understand this whole "custom hood thing".
Ness ~ I doubt I can help you, after all, I was lost in the mist of confusion at the start of this topic, but what are you trying to acheive by deleting the files?
Ness:
Don't worry. Doing some more reading, I think I have it figured out. I was only part way towards doing the job I wanted, I have it under control now.

How do I create an empty P001_Neighborhood.package version of the file?
*please not something complicated, please not something compli...*
So if I were to create this *coughnotcomplicated* empty file and not use nostrayrespawn - I'd rid myself of the 2 mEAxis Pets families while retaining the ability to create the Animal Trainer NPC (when I generate him) and see strays?
Unrelated note: Can one adopt strays? You can tell I haven't been playing Pets for long, lol.
Related note: So I create my n'hood, create the districts (with the empty templates installed) and then do not need to use DAC because the empty templates will have covered that for me? And as for the mainland, I can just rename the "N001" to "N001-bak" to stop any townies being created?
Have I got it right yet? *desperate whine*
If I have this right, the empty P001 is what you download from the thread linked above, you don't have to do anything to create it since it's been created.
If you do that and don't use nostrayrespawn, the game will generate strays.
The empty neighborhood does not stop the animal trainer from being generated.
One can adopt strays by building up a very good relationship with them. I've done it all of once, it was a pain because you have to get the same animal to visit you a lot.
You don't need DAC with the empty templates, that's correct, but you do need to use the N001 empty template as your N001 (the old one being renamed will preserve it as a backup in case things go wrong).
