I'm going to install them all at once and not play between them.

And yes I've played it a bit, mostly just created some families (about 10), built them houses and played a bit with most of them.


Thank you! Is there a way to safely import my characters (all 66 of them) from my current DAC'ed neighborhood into the new one? That would include even all the NPCs they've interacted with - a few shopkeepers, maids, the principal of the private school and some deliverypeople if I remember correctly. Or would that be also a big no-no?

I haven't played Sims in ages because my computer has been having some hardware issues. Now that I can play again, I've decided to buy all the EPs that I don't have yet. I currently have University, Nightlife and Open for Business installed.

I haven't played any of them very much because of lack of time and the aforementioned computer problems, but I have four custom neighborhoods. One of them, that I created before the Nightlife EP, I cleared out completely with deleteallcharacters. Only recently I found out that it's not a good thing to do, so I wonder if I've done some irreparable damage to the neighborhood or is there some way I could fix it? In the neighborhood I have 66 character files, 76 Sim Description files, 276 Sim DNA files and 243 Sim Wants and Fears -files. Is this normal or has something gone horribly wrong?

I also wonder if there's some way that I could easily get rid of, maybe even hopefully completely avoid all the townies that I suppose will come with the EPs. I have notownieregen but I suppose that won't help me at all? I've tried my best to keep the neighborhood mentioned in the last paragraph as small and un-cluttered as possible so I haven't even created any sub-neighborhoods there but the University one in fear of dozens of ugly townies and the unavoidable BFBVFS caused by too many Sims. Is that just an irrational fear?

Also, is there something important to remember to do when installing Pets, Seasons and Bon Voyage? Are there, for example, some downloads aside from hacks that could implode my game and that I should specifically find new versions for?

Please bear with me and help me with my problems! I tried searching the forum for answers but I didn't feel that I found enough information. I hope my english is comprehensible, please ask me to clarify if there's anything I've worded awkwardly. Thank You in advance!
