I do have characters in my hood I would like to keep though, is there a way to transport them from my current hood to a new clean one?
1, Package them on their lot.
2, install them into the throw away hood using clean installer (making sure you only install the family and the lot - no one that isn't living on the lot)
3, use Simpe or Pescado's Lot debugger (ffsdebugger) to clean up their memories (or use both).
4, re-package them on their lot.
5, install in your new hood.
I do this all the time. If you want any of the Maxis/EAxis pre-made households. I have them all (from
all the pre-made hoods, including the Uni students as teens) packaged up (cleaned & safe to use) at Crazy Town. I have two versions of them - with & without plastic surgery (plastic surgery made genetic).
