I found a way to connect the three neighborhoods together. (Serious Thread)
SimmieCal:
And what does this do to the character files? How many character files were in each hood prior to doing this and how many after? Was there an explosion of unlinked character files?
Considering moving occupied lots into the sim bin is known to create all kinds of problems, I don't know if it's such a good idea to be advocating this without stronger warinings. How long have you played a neighborhood in this condition? I think this wouldn't be so good for the long term health of the hood.
It's inventive thinking and thanks for sharing, but I really think you need to advocate more caution to people and explain what the risks are to their hood when they try this. I certainly wouldn't do this with any hood that I didn't want to loose.

This is why he said to back up your neighborhoods BEFORE attempting this. That way, if you mess it all up, you can always delete it all and use your backup. :)

This is the closest thing I can get the neighborhoods to connect.
I'm still experimenting with it. So far I haven't had any problems yet except the Summerdream household being bugged out at the beginning, it's not anymore.
I've only been playing with it for a few days. But I guess I should put a disclaimer.

Don't get me wrong - I think it's a real neat idea and I know a lot of people would like to have their sims interact with the sims in the other hood. I've also read a lot (though I don't understand all of it) that moving populated lots into the sim bin and having sims cross neighborhoods can cause a lot of wiggy things to happen. I just think people need to be aware that there are potential problems - like unlinked character files - that could occur, or that they should watch out for. I'm sure there will be many adventuresome people that will still try your method out, even with a disclaimer.
Sleepycat:
I think the only safe way you could do this is to package the occupied Lots to files(make a list of all the sims that are actually on the Lot for each occupied Lot), then delete all the characters in strangetown and verona, then install the occupied Lots using clean installer (to remove all the characters that are not actually on the Lot.
Otherwise you will end up with a ton of unlinked character files which is bad...
I'm a little tempted to try this with a couple of new custom hoods that have no character files/sims to worry about, link them up and then create my new sims for each hood.
Not sure if it is worth the trouble/time though...hmmm do the hoods now actually share a University & Downtown? or do they still have to have their own? If I do this would I be able to send sims from all 3 hoods to the same Uni, where students from all 3 hoods can share a dorm and do stuff together? now That would be cool and would certainly make it worth doing!!
