Copying a neighborhood...?

[shokoladka]

How can you copy one of the premade neighborhoods... say Pleasantview... minus all the sims. I want to be able to keep the neighborhood I play, but have the layout of lots and decorations of Pleasantview minus all the work of re-laying out the lots and the trees and all that junk in a new useable neighborhood. There's always the obvious dumb way, backing up my neighborhood, resetting Pleasantview, and then deleting all characters and sending my neighborhood into an inevitable doom sooner or later, but I'd prefer a smarter and more practical way. Adding Sim State and Bluewater into the mix would be nice too.
