Request, nay Demand! for a new FAQ
Zazazu:
Orphaned sim wants & fears, corrupted memories of sims who have met the binned sims. Etc.
This would be lovely, plus ... we need somewhere that either links to the hack descriptions for the Director's Cut is published, or they should be shoved in with the Director's Cut. Some aren't so easy to search out.

If you're going to make such a FAQ, avoid all THOU SHALT NOT phrases. Someone who has done most of the forbidden actions without seeing any problems is going to start ignoring all your warnings.
Write everything in very simple nontechnical language. A one sentence summary like "Avoid downloading and installing lots with Sims living on them" followed by a paragraph on why not, also in simple language, followed by a third paragraph containing whatever technical jargon you feel is necessary so people can skip the third paragraph. And give the reader an alternative: "If you do download occupied lots, install them in neighborhoods where you aren't too attached to the Sims living there."
If you're going to mention a specific tool, make sure it's linked to a complete description of the tool. I've installed downloaded occupied lots while not sitting on a stool and I didn't get a phever. Any mention of things like empty or clean neighborhood templates is going to have to include a SIMPLE way to get and install them. If it contains more than three simple steps my grandmother could follow, it's going to be ignored.
Then again, this *is* MATY.

SimPE can generate the censor remover by just unticking a box, but yes. Perhaps there should be a new gameplay FAQ to accompany the forum rules FAQ.
No rule against offering multiple solutions to Frequently Asked Questions.
You know. "If you wish to do X, try one of these solutions:
A: (Duh, Barbie N00B solution)
B. More elegant solution
C. Totally AWESOME solution
We recommend C, but all will get the job done."

Add "debug mode (sometimes incorrectly referred to as boolprop) does NOT cause errors, it merely reports the errors that were already happening. Unless you mess around with it".
