Deleting character files for dummies.

[JenL]

Is there an easy-to-follow tutorial for doing this? I have a large custom neighbourhood and want to delete some of the old character files I didn't even play, and also some unwanted strays and townies, before I get a BFBVFS situation happening.

I have some Simpe experience, and am aware I will have to delete wants and fears, and memories, to do this. I have looked around for a tutorial, but can't seem to find one anywhere!

Thanks!

This one isn't exactly "for dummies", but you should be able to follow it.

Thanks. I can follow it....just about. Not too clear on the HEX stuff and re-setting the SCI in the middle though, so if that is the only way, I might stear clear.

Unless anyone has a way that sounds even easier...Is the best way to use the lotdebugger, do a bunch of stuff in the middle, delete the file in simpe, then delete the character file?

Just write down the Hex values exactly as they appear.  You'll do fine, especially if you make a backup first.

Yes but I don't really know where to find these things in Simpe in the first place....

Will have to have a good look around before I touch anything!
