Excuse me for going off topic.
Possibly related info: The blank wants/fears searches made me start looking at dangling SWAFs and whatnot in SimPE. Ummm, my neighborhood seems to have 832 SDSCs, and 1256 SWAFs. The neighborhood in question is Belladonna Cove and I'm not sure why that number seems to be so high O.o I haven't been playing it all that much and I'm 99% sure I haven't done anything dumb like anything involving an occupied lot/delete a sim in the sim bin/etc.
Let me confirm for you that it's not your fault. Your post inspired me to go through the EAxis 'hoods looking for dangling SWAFs. I opened up a totally untouched Belladonna Cove and it had around 200 sims but nearly four times that many SWAFs. All the other EAxis 'hoods I've inspected so far are full of dangling SWAFs, but none to this degree.
