Can I Nuke a family with Sim PE? Or is it best for them to DIAF?

[Cerridwen]

I'm done with the Ottomas family in Pleasantview.  I regret not deleting them from the family bin the second I saw them as I did in Desdereta sp? Valley.   Anyway I would prefer to somehow erase them as if they never existed but I know moving them out and deleting them from the family bin now that I've played them and they have relationships is a no-no.   I aged the mom to an elder and back before she had the borked twins to get rid of them  and Dora died, so there is the mom, dad, the two older children who are teens, and the youngest who is a child.

Is there a way I can nuke them with sim PE saftley now that I've played them so that it would be as if they never existed?  Or should I have them all DIAF?

Yes there is a way to delete them with SimPE which involves first preparing them for delete with the FFS Lot Debugger. Read the instructions here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,6205.0.html

Beware that the instructions use an old version of SimPE - it'd be best if you read the whole thread for pointers.

Thanks!  It says though in the first picture not to use on any sims with relatives?    I'm starting to think it would be simpler to have a stove accident.  Maybe I'll resurect them  after just to have another stove accident.  Hmm.. I'm starting to picture a bunch of zombie Ottomas's.

I would always advise this order of preference, from the data integrity point of view:

1) In game using normal gameplay
2) In game using built-in cheats
3) In game using hacks
4) Use SimPE
5) Edit the hex.
