Neighborhood Question please assist

[Boldt]

Hello - I hope this is in the right section.

My sims live in a custom hood now I made.  I wanted to know if this was possible to do without muckin things up.  The sims that live in Veronaville, Pleasantville and so on I never play.  I dont see them show up in my shops either (Downtown or my custom shopping hood).  I guess that is how its supposed to work.

What I wanted to know is.  Can I move them out of the respective town they live in to the "bin" and then lets say remove the neighborhood they were in since I dont use them and give them a new house in my own neighborhood?  I dont want to mess things up.  I guess folks who dont play lets say Veronaville either left it intact or moved them out first then killed the hood so someone should know this lol.  Maybe they wont be visible in my bin, either way I dont play those places but I would like to see them showup to shop if possible.

Thanks for any advice.  I just want to see folks like the Grunt folks show up on occasion or the Roth's from Riverblosson but I dont like to live in those towns etc.  Thanks again for any assistance or advice.  

I am not sure if its even safe to remove the hoods I dont play, I hope it is ok though.

PS:  If none of this can be done - shouldnt I be seeing folks from each neigborhood showing up in my shops if the hoods are never touched or deleted and I made my own shpping district?  I dont........

Each hood are independant so it is normal you do not see sims from Veronaville show up in your custom hood.

There is a way to move sims from one hood to another but I do not suggest you do it because it can mess things up pretty badly.

Okie - fair enough.  Glad I asked before doing anything.  Any issue with removing a hood?  Like Riverblossom etc, never play it - never will.  Just a thought.

Thanks again

Not that I know of.  If you really have no intention of playing any of the Maxis hood you can delete them.

I have moved all of the Maxis made lots, families and houses into one super hood if you will with no problems but, it is risky and restoring them all to original is a bit of a hassle.

Unless there is really a speacial reason you need to move them, don't do it.

Excellent.  Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated.  I will leave things be for now
