Feel free to call me an idiot

I never knew any of this. What I've been doing for a while now is deleting all the neighborhoods before even starting and importing my own. I don't even have binned townies to delete. But is this also a bad thing to do?

No.  Deleting entire neighbourhoods is perfectly safe.  Importing complete neighbourhoods is perfectly safe.

What is not safe is transferring sims that have been played in one neighbourhood to another neighbourhood.

There is no such thing as townies in the sim bin.

Thank God. I was beginning to worry. Actually, I didn't really mean townies. I basically meant the binned Sims, like the tards I can't stand having in my game. Thanks for clearing that up.
