Unsavory Charalatan is unlinked?

[Jade]

Should I be concerned that the one Unsavory Charalatan listed in my neighbourhood in SimPe is unlinked and has no character data?
He has never showed up on any of the lots that I can recall, could this be why he is listed like this (or maybe he is supposed to be...)?

I've been having some crash to desktop events (no error log, just a termination), so I am concerned this may have something to do with that.  Also, I'd like him to show up and harrass my sims now and then.

I do have the lastest visitor controller, and most of the directors cut, up to date as of this morning, as well as a few other annoyance bashers, but no serious conflicts are showing up in HCDU.

One of the early EAxis BV "fixes" was to resolve the endless charlatan spawn mess by destroying ALL existing charlatans in such a manner, even if you only had one. As a result, the game will be forced to generate another one. You will have to DELETED 2 the unlinked one to clean him out of the files entirely, as EAxis, as usual, has done a shabby job fixing their messes.

O.k... I've been following the deleted 2 tutorial, but something doesn't match up.  I have located the sim, destructed him with the lot debugger, all exactly like the picture.  When I look up his instance in SimPe though, he still has a SWAF, as well as DNA and DESC.  The debugger did say that he was destroyed, and I am certain I have the right number (checked it twice).  In fact I already restored from backup and repeated the first part of the procedure with the same result.  Do I delete this SWAF as well, or is there something terribly wrong?

Destroy the SDSC and SWAF. Do not touch the SDNA, or you will destroy your neighborhood.
