Dumping hoods

[ZiggyDoodle]

As EP5 includes a new base hood, complete with families, townies, and NPCs ( ) would dumping Strangerhood and Veronaville be worthwhile, since I never play these hoods and don't intend to?

Or would it make absolutely no difference on load time and the # of character files?

Thanks...

Shouldn't make any difference.  You can always get fresh copies by renaming your The Sims 2 folder and let the game recreate them.

The number of neighborhoods doesn't appear to make much, if any, difference in loading time. Then again, if you don't want them, why keep them?

Has anyone else noticed that the new neighbourhood has a weird folder name? It's galled G001 instead of N00something on my game. Very strange.

I think they did that so it would show up first in the Neighborhood screen.

So it won't affect our custom hoods that start at N004? I'm still playing Maxis hoods for hack testing, haven't put my custom ones back in yet.

My custom hood is N004, and it's fine.
