Early preventative maintenance

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ambular:
I'd strongly recommend choosing a set of default face template replacements before you do any actual playing, so your Sims won't be subject to the Maxis Quasimodo effect.  (The link is to my set, but there are links on that page to all the other fulls sets that I know of, plus Naitali's set-in-progress.)

Chafe:
Awww, no more female caveman exterminator? Seriously tho these templates are awesome, thanks Amber.

Organize hacks, mods and other crap...check.

Generate dormies...check.

Thanks for the additional tips guys.

I have looked around and I probably have the search terms wrong, but is there a "For Dummies" thread/tutorial on truly clean custom neighborhoods? With pictures?

Edited for clarity

I generally build all my own townies in bodyshop, takes time, but then I always have the basic sims if something goes wrong.  Tweak them in CAS (personality, astro sign, etc.) and export to the game as townies or dormies, or whatever.  They show up as playables, but you can export them off as townies using Insim's Family Tree.  That works reasonably well.  Caution with this: if you make any teens or kids, you have to edit relationships in SimPE, or they'll end up with family ties you may not want. 

OK, I know, it's a fair bit of work, but I get what I want in the game in the end and don't overload with useless townies that I wouldn't let my playable Sim teen girls date, let alone marry.  I think if you use the mailbox "generate townies" option, it gives you 32 straight off (if you're doing that, you probably do want to replace the default faces).
