Guess what happens when you deleteAllCharacters in downtown?

This has been my experience as well. We should pester the Maxoids to add in a "current sub neighborhood only" version of "deleteallcharacters." It's the least they can do to help with the 0x85 mess.

This is fundamentally unreasonable, since characters are not, strictly speaking, neighborhood-specific, they're all stored in the main neighborhood's file.

So unsurprisingly, DELETE ALL CHARARACTERS deletes.....ALL CHARACTERS. Whodathunkit? Now keep this up and you buffoons will wind up in Retardo Land. :P

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough. Before Nightlife, if you went to the uni n'hood & deleted all charcters, it only deleted uni ones. If you deleted all characters in the main n'hood, it only deleted characters there, none in uni. This NL thing of dealing to all 3 places at once is new.

I thought others might appreciate the warning.


umm - that's not my experience.  Using deleteAllCharacters did just that - everyone, everywhere.

Yes, if you'd read the thread you would see many people say the same. Oddly enough that was not my experience the one time I used the delete all characters command. My main n'hood was quite empty, I had the message box to confirm deletion even.

Then when I went to the uni n'hood - which already existed - it was still full of Maxis young adults. I was surprised at the time because I would have thought the delete all characters command would do just that, delete all.

That's why I did not expect everything to vanish when I did the same command in Nightlife.
