No Townie/NPC Move-In Amnesia *EXPERIMENTAL*
J. M. Pescado:
Eliminates the mind-wipe and replacement with an incorrect CAS history of all moved-in townies and NPCs. Now they'll retain the memories of their formerly long and immortal lives and all of the accidents they had when getting stuck in the basement. Note that this feature is actually intentional, and not a bug. Even if it's not to your liking. And some sims really could use their wipe. The long-term consequences of not doing this are unknown. This hack remains classified as "Experimental" as a result.

Now that's what I call quick work. Consider the invisible "Thanks" button well and truly hit. Will try this out first thing tomorrow and see what happens when Lazlo Curious invites Crystal Vu (VU? Who is called VU?) to move in.
Oddysey:
It's a reference to "The Insidious Doctor Vu," a character named after one of the core sim team members. He also shows up involved in various nefarious plots in Sim City 4. I'm not sure if that's the guy's actual name, or a net handle, but he's the one who told everyone that he'd lobbied hard for polygamy in TS2, based on his own personal experience. "Vu's personal experience" was for a while a pretty much catch-all excuse for why something random and weird was in The Sims. Rather like Boris, from what I've heard about him.
syberspunk:
Hrm... interesting. Because of all the weird bugginess with NPCs, I've done my best to avoid getting my sims entangled in relationships with them. Well, at least to the point of only having some "romantic" flings and leaving it at that. With all the trouble associated with them, it seemed worthless to attempt trying to invite them into families.
Anyways... just wondering then... do you think that the npc/townie mind wipe was an intentional afterthought? Perhaps evidence that Maxis knew it was a bad idea for sims to have Too Many memories? Which only leads to your game blowing up in a fiery ball that could be seen from outerspace anyways. I guess not really, since they were so many OTHER obvious ways that the game can blow up, this was probably an unintentional fluke of an error that actually works in favor of NOT blowing up. :p
And do townies also get Amnesia? I thought that "feature" was only isolated to NPCs. :p

J. M. Pescado:
When a townie or NPC moves in or is married, all of his memories get replaced as if he were a CAS sim, meaning he gets the useless mystery sim "best friend", "first kiss", etc memories, unless he moves in as a marriage, in which case the spouse will replace the mystery sim. This occurs regardless of whether the memories involved are actually TRUE.
