S.O.S. - Can you safely delete a family that's never been out of the bin?

Gossip memories are obtained by having playtime with that family. No loading the lot, no gossip memories or possible tokens, correct?

No. Gossip memories can occur purely through osmosis. Again, Deleted II doesn't care.

I imagine those of you who understand all this are getting fed up explaining it. I tend to put it like this....
When you created the family, the game created all sorts of bits and pieces of data about the sims and the family and stored info in a number of different places in the neighborhood package and character files. While the sims are sitting in the simbin, the game creates more bits of data about them. The maxis deleting tool doesn't find and delete all of the bits. Why take a chance on one of these bits of stray data biting you on the ass later? Don't sweat the detail, just use the nice safe tool Pescado made for us. Those of us who got the Tshirt for messing up our hoods by deleting sims and cleaning up badly, don't recommend that route to others!
Sivany:
Ugh I recently deleted that Cyd guy out of the sim bin so that's probably not done the game any good. Actually I only did it to see if his character file would disappear from inside the Neighbourhood file (it didn't). If I'd deleted him with the Lot Debugger though I'd still have been left with his dog cluttering up the sim bin. Is there any way to get rid of pets?
J. M. Pescado:
Not presently. Looking into this for a later version.
