Hi Thanks so much for answering.. it has been of great help! I found no downtownies, tourists or students. (I do not have any subhoods yet, just a few of the standard shops on the main land). The simwardrobe hacktool does not show incompatibilities.

What I did found was a long list of people, under which many families and NPCs.  Thanks, now I can recognise them!

I found 35 unwanted townies. I will kill them and see if they return.
 
I found some other numbers back in google:

0x7FDF - 11 residents = Socialites
0x7FE0 ? residents = Techies
0x7FE1 - 5 residents = Jocks
0x7FE2 - 10 residents = Bohemians
0x7FE3 8 residents = Gearheads

Did these come with an apartment? I don't have an apartment in my hood anymore, and can't remember ever having one. (I use the hood Desiderata Valley) Can I kill them safely? Is there a hack to get rid of them and prevent them from respawning?

0x7FE4 26 residents - Not sure who they are. One google post mentioned they might be hobby place owners.. Are they? If they are why are there 26?

63 residents with the number: 0x0000  - who are these?

I was hoping you experts could maybe help me with a few questions:

Which of these residents can I kill safely? (I know the special NPCs cannot). I once got an error killing a normal looking resident, something about familiy ties. I rather not start a new empty hood, since I spend a long time on making back all residents I lost on a crashed hood.. give them back jobs, badges etc.. its running well now)

I wonder if its safe to add clean template neighborhoods for the shopping center, nightlife, university and vacations to my normal hood to prevent more unnessecaries?

Is it safe to replace townies and other unwanted existing people, by SIMPE plastic surgery and give them custom clothing and skins? Which ones are safe to replace?

What is the safest way to kill? (I rather not delete completely as in http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,6205.0.html, since I am still quite a novice to SIMpe and it looks like something I can easily mess up.). I now use a simwardrobe gun.

Thanks very much for the help it is very very much appreciated!

I have been using notownieregen (and nodormierespaw, antiredundancy, nossrespawn, nostrayrespawn etc), but new townies keep appearing.

The following happend:
I installed sims (all packs, including the christmas ones) using the cleaninstall method  from http://www.sunsims.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-269.html.
Put all the anti hacks mentioned above in download folder, unzipped.
Started Sims, and got some of the annoying townies, about 20-30 ones. (shown in SimPE). I was fine with these.
Played a while with sims and at my shock more and more of those uglies start to appear. I went to a few social venues.
After 3 days of playing, instead of some 30 townies I now have loads of them  listed in SimPE. A lot more ugly sims come to my shops.
I never played the game with 'custom hacks off'.

I wonder what could be the cause of this?
 Is the notownieregen incompatible with the zipped sim folders from the URL? (would puttingthem back help)
- are the  townies listed in Simpe actually downtownies, which are nessecary (and thus can't be stopped from beeing created)
- are there hacks known that give problems with notownieregen and the others? (I use a few, simlogical school, simblender, nowelfare, servo controller, wooden model hack and a few minor ones)

I have all the packs.
SimPE is up to date, including mansion.
I run windows XP.
The version i use of the no regen hacks is for apartment life.
I have no error logs of this.

Any help suggestion and ideas on killing further respawning are very welcome. I am gratefull for your help.
I am sorry for possible spelling errors, english is not my native language.
