Also was wondering about NPC and Townies... Can you put them into the bin and eventually have them move to a house of their own? I was thinking you might have to invite them to move in and once they're in, "look for their own place". Then wouldn't they be in the bin and you could place them as a regular Sim in a home of your choosing? Just curious, because I don't always want to add them permanently to an existing family, but would like to set them up like a regular Sim...Also...what is the difference between an NPC and a townie anyway?
