I know I might well be hit for this, but being the knob I am, I thought I'd be clever and put all of Veronaville and Strangetown into occupied Lot Bin lots to move them to Pleasantview. My inability to think ahead didn't recognise that this could backfire on me, and so far it hasn't but it seems to be threatening to.
The duplicated Sims don't show up in the Sim Browser of SimPE, but they do in my Sim Description listing. The debuggers I've seen won't be of much help as most of the copies are premades that are dead before you get the game, and thus unselectable; or unlinked defaults. I have some 1500 sim files apparently, which can't be right. Vidcund Curious is the worst, I have six of him for some blasted reason... Only one of these have the different hair and clothes I set on him so I'm assuming that ones' the real one, but is there a safe way to delete borked sim files?
... Is the fireball preventable at this stage?...
