Okay, I didn't murder them. I just moved them all into the sims bin. So now I'm down to just a few families (The Simspons, The Moores, The Dawsons, The Bonyparts, The Warners, The Hicks', The Yokels, and the Debutantes) and then a couple of my favorite singles living in their own homes. Think it is still too big? And anyone skilled enough with Sims PE have experience cleaning out unwanted Sims? Or are they all doomed to purgatory in the Sim Bin?
They'll still wander around and bother your sims, though not as much. If any of your other sims are friends with them this will affect their friendship quotas, as they can no longer call them. I'd just put them in a house and then ignore them if I were you ... use them as NPCs in other words. I know what you mean, though. My first neighborhood had more than 100 sims. My new one has six. It will grow slowly, but I also plan to let people die off, so I'm hoping it will never get huge. Small is better.
. I think this is good advice, Kristal. You can use boolprop or Inge's shrub and turn them into townies or NPC's. You can then return select ones to your game later if needed or kill off some by feeding them to the plant thing. Age some out with Merola's Painting and redistribute their wealth. You can probably send some to college and make them townies. Your college dorms will fill with old familiar faces. I'd stay away from the SimPE fix. You know you'll be kicking yourself later if you go that route.
You wouldn't even have to "shrub" them if you didn't want. You aren't required to play sims you're tired of, after all ...
Very true, very true. I've done enough damaage with SimPE not to want to play around with it. It's just too bad that we can't just delete the Sims in the Sim-Bin like Maxis originally intended us to. That would make all our lives easier. I guess for now I'll leave them alone. Maybe I'll make some of them Townies.
I haven't tried to delete anyone in the bin but I've thought about it. I'm guessing you're refering to the family bin where you dump them after moving an entire family out of their house. When Candida and her son moved into a house Downtown she invited her mother Mercedes to move in with her. Mother Mercedes was, of course, agreeable to that. I went back to what should have been an empty house. Well, the game was a little confused about that house. A long dead relative of the Sparrow family was somehow still present there although there is no tombstone or urn. The house still had all the furniture including career rewards. But no one was home and there was no icon of a resident. So I decided to bulldoze the lot. The game said, Nope, got to move the family out first. Ok, I thought, I'll go through the motions even though no one is there, and now I have an empty box in the family bin. It says Menendez in the picture because I moved the cursor over it. The house now has no furniture and seems normal so I didn't bulldoze it after all. What happens if I delete a family group?
I have no idea. Pescado told me not to so I haven't. Maybe you should just leave it there? He gave all these dire warnings about not deleting anyone. Still, that seems like a glitch in your game. Hard to know if deleting it would damage anything or not. Very bizarre.
I'll leave it there. I've got soooo much time invested in this neighborhood now. In fact, I should back it up before I download any more clothes, makeup, skins and stuff .
Pescado says that when you delete a sim from the sim bin, even the pre-made sims, that it corrupts the game because your sims loose memories of the person, etc.
