unuseful sim

[MaximilianPS]

By openening my hood with simpe, i notice that there are some sims cloned 3,4 time...
some of them are "grayed" i think they are unlinked / unused (?)

there are any tools/object/hack that will fix/clean my hood from those unuseful character ?

Have you by any chance imported any Sims from other hoods and brought character files with them of Sims they met there?  I would probably just delete them myself.

[MaximilianPS]

yes, i've imported some sims from different hood ...
so proably some of the "useless sims" coming from imported-sims memories...
ok.. i'll delete the unusefull sim via simpe..

In the future:  It is not a good idea to import previously played Sims (i.e. sims on a lot) into a neighborhood you care about.  It can lead to a BFBVFS.

'Gray' sims represent memories of 'live' sims. Deleting the files leads to broken memories and *MAY* hasten the BFBVFS. Safest would be to delete the memories as well

thnx alot for the tips
my hood is completly new so i can also, "reset" the memory of my sims
should i do it by hand one by one or there is some sort automated way ?

[Horanda]

I think you have to do it the slow way, I haven't heard of any automated methods.

[MaximilianPS]

on the SimPe memory editor there is a sort of "memory cleaner" (that will erase all datas in memory) and a "fix" function that will probably fix/remove some datas.. but i dunno how it works

Also you can try to use TS2Enchancer for deleting all unwanted characters without problem.
