Title: Packaging lots.., let's see how this works Post by: AxelVal on April 01, 2008, 09:08:01 pm It's not technically Sims help, but it's diretly related to the Sims.
I followed this tutorial (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,6205.0.html)for deleting sims, but I got halfway through and am now stuck. I asked on the thread but as of yet have not received an answer. I prepped a bunch of Sims for deletion and after downloading SimPE I had no idea where to find the options needed. I tried using the same version as Pescado but it wouldn't work on my computer. I then found an option in SimPE that seemed like it might work. Under Neighborhoods, I found 'Family Information' and when a household is selected it displays people there, the money, number of family friends, etc. Near the top there is a key that says 'delete' so I deleted all EAxian families/groups. I also did this for sims who had not been 'prepped for delete' in a second neighborhood. So now my two questions: 1. Will this work? Is my game safe from gradual implosion if I do this? 2. If not, can someone who understand SimPE dumb down this tutorial for me or even possibly help me step-by-step via a messenger such as Yahoo? Please and thank you!

You might want to restore your neighborhood from a backup (I hope you backed it up before trying to delete them!!) I know this from personal experience when I first started messing with SimPE a long time ago.
I'm at work, so I can't follow along with that tutorial right now, but if i have time when I get home I can try to see if I can explain the steps better >.< Title: Packaging lots.., let's see how this works Post by: AxelVal on April 02, 2008, 07:23:23 pm Thank you, Pandasan.
And yes, I did back up the neighborhood before doing that. I should have a backup of the other one from the last time I played. *crosses fingers* I will fix this right away! Now I'm wondering...what would happen if I packaged the families after restoring the neighborhoods? Could I then completely delete those towns and download the clean templates or use 'delete all characters' then move the families in again from the packages? Or would that be a bad idea/also crash my game after a while? Title: Packaging lots.., let's see how this works Post by: pandasan on April 03, 2008, 07:13:03 am Yeah, you should be able to do that. That's probably a lot easier than cleaning up the neighborhoods yourself!

I can do that. Will they keep memories and and family ties outside the household? Family ties, at least, memories don't matter as much. ETA: I have a back-up! I backed up my entire Neighborhoods folder before trying anything. Title: Packaging lots.., let's see how this works Post by: AxelVal on April 05, 2008, 02:56:18 pm ETC:
Well, lots are all packages up. I downloaded the clean templates and am 75% certain I can do this correctly so I'm going for it. Right after I install FreeTime. *crosses fingers* |
