Overstuffed Neighbourhood

[Luisa]

My original neighbourhood now is quite full and I don't want to delete any of my famblys, so I was thinking of bulldozing the one Community building nobody uses (the Police Station) and turning it into a residential lot, but wasn't sure if it would cause any problems in my game. To save me discovering later that it causes a problem that wasn't at first evident, does anyone know if there are any problems caused by this? Would the game maybe crash at some random point, or would burglars not get arrested or something?

Thanks

Sure

But if I don't have or want any law enforcement sims in the current game/neighborhood, would a neighborhood carry on ok without it?

You also need them for when Sims are arrested.  I would try it in a new test neighborhood or make sure you keep a copy of the neighborhood in case it blows up.

Yep, I'll definitely do that.

Just wanted to be sure. I hate it when you get to the point that you realise a decision you made about 67 savegames ago is why your game is messed up now.

That said, TS3 has been running pretty smooth for me so far. In hundreds of hours of play it's only crashed once (by dropping me back to the desktop) and once (by giving me a weird error message).
