Deleted 2: Electric Boogaloo!
JenL:
If I deleted character files of the Sims that have "no character data" and "unlinked character" squares next to their name in the sim browser in SimPe, what would happen?
Would the big fiery ball thing still be likely to occur if they aren't linked to any other sims in any way?
SaraMK:
That would be bad, JenL.
Sims are never really "not linked" to other sims. Someone in the neighborhood probably has memories of those sims, or has received gossip about those sims. If you delete them, those memories and gossip tokens will become corrupt and your neighborhood will explode. Sims can keep passing gossip for many generations after a sim has died.
Also, unless you also track down and delete the Wants and Fears entries associated with those sims, you will get nasty glitches like toddlers with LTWs and wants to Woohoo. Not good.
Eggs:
Presumably I would get an asplosion if I left the SDSCs in?

That's the idea behind the "delete gossip" and "prepare sim for deletion" tools: It cleans up this garbage so you can then clean out the dangling SDSC/SWAFs/etc.
Theo:
In a neighborhood package there are also the BusinessInfo (BNFO) resources, which seem to store the loyalty stars of each customer of a business lot:

So when you delete a sim, should its customer entry be deleted as well, or the Lot Debugger takes care of that automatically?
