Manually deleting all characters?

What I did wonder, though, is if you remove your saved games to the desktop before installing Uni, then run deleteallcharacters before copying your folders back in, whether that might work. You'd have to be prepared for a lot of pauses while the game generates new NPCs etc., though.
Wouldn't that be a problem because some sims would have memories of having met some of the old NPCs who are no longer in the game? Or since the sam NPCs get generated would it just assume that the memories from meeting the old Kaylynn (or whatever the maid's name is) apply to the new Kaylynn?
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, if you take the complete neighbourhood folder and put it on the desktop, Kaylynn will be there! If you then install Uni and delete all characters, then neither |Kaylynn or any other maid or whatever will be in the game copy - it will be empty. Then, if you copy the original folder back (note I say move to desktop, but copy back (that way if it goes pearshaped, you haven't lost your hood) everything and allow windows to overwrite every folder in the neighbourhood, you should just have your originals in there. You can check your character folder in simPE if you want, just to be sure it's worked. The game will only generate replacement NPCs for those that you don't have, such as cheerleaders, professors etc.

Got it. Thanks. I was thinking that the NPCs weren't part of the neighborhood (like playable sims) and wouldn't be saved.
ZephyrZodiac:
Every sim the game ever created, including ghosts, barista spam etc, will be in the Character folder unless you remove them yourself!
As I think I said, I don't know if it will work, but it seems to me that it might, and it's certainly worth trying.

Just be careful with the University part. I did a few deleteallcharacters and notice that I needed to go play at least once with the Sims that were place in the college lots otherwise those lots were becoming corrupted, I was never able to load them either the game just show the glasshour meter indefinitely or the game crash. If you load them once, move them do the bin and delete them either within the familybin or by a delleteallcharacters you should be ok.
The game does not let us move those characters to the bin unless we played the lots at least once. I mostly choose Academie La Tour when I do that since there is no greek house in that neighborhood. I wonder if by moving the greek member out of the house it will become a normal resident lot or do we need to change zoning.
