Oh and another small question... Can I uninstall a previous expansion... I need more space on this thing and I hardly ever utilize any part of Seasons. Thanks again. :?


Well, I could be totally wrong, but I believe that if you uninstall Seasons, you won't be able to play any neighborhoods that have previously had Seasons as a part of it? The files would have been overwritten with portions of Seasons in them, so without Seasons the game wont let you load them.

I could be wrong, which I hope I am for your space-saving sake, but I know my sister couldn't play a lot I sent her via email because she didn't have Freetime and I had saved the lot after I had Freetime installed.

There has been an AL update on MATY for the notownieregen hack, that may be your problem. :)


I mentioned that. I made sure to get the updated hack before I even installed AL.

MissDoh:
Notownieregen as far as I know only stop the game from generating new Townies if you happen to move some in or kill any.

It won't stop the game from creating those default Maxis townies/NPC upon loading your hood or subhood (like downtown/uni for example) for the first time.

For a clean AL hood you need Empty and clean templates which do not have those default townies/NPC attach to it and you will need to create all of them by yourself.

I linked you above to a post at MATY site so you can have info on how to use them and get them.  I am not sure if one for AL is out yet though.

This post could also be quite useful:  Tutorial: Clean custom neighbourhoods + townie creation

bel0vedautumn:
So... are these characters that spawn to rent rooms, lead social groups, etc. NPCs rather then townies? Is that why the notownieregen hack doesn't seem to apply?

MissDoh:
Like I said above, notownieregen does not stop the game to load the template that comes with any EP's which will add townies/NPC to any hood you load for the first time.

You need clean/empty templates to avoid the game from adding those unwanted sims.

Just go read both post I linked you too, they explain in details why you need those templates to achieve what you want.
