Beastie Bay - Neighborhood - Sims 2

I don't know either, Sam. Why don't you just PM Beck?

Wonderful hood, Nonni. Thank you.

Thank you, Marbi!

@Sam - I believe I have some hacks that help and they don't let the game regenerate the NPCs.

Here is a great tutorial for having an empty 'hood.

I use all of these:

 

- So, a good way to control the amount of characters in your new neighborhoods is installing the following mods from More Awesome Than You:

a. Notownieregen: As its name says, it'll prevent your game from creating new townies at all. If you want customized townies in your neighborhoods (creating them through CAS and adding them with a teleporter), you'll need to keep it in your downloads folder at all times (before creating or loading the neighborhood for the first time and afterwards). I usually just let my game generate new random townies on its own and add this hack a few gaming sessions later to stop the "townie production".

b. Antiredundacy: It prevents your game from creating unneeded NPC's (like maids, bartenders, paperboys, etc.). By default, the game creates three of each kind of NPC's so, if you have most EP's, you may end up with a lot of NPCs you won't even see at all! This hack only lets the game to generate ONE NPC from each kind at a time. And if you have Bon Voyage, I read this is a very important hack. I really don't know.

c. No Stray Respawn. Only if you have Pets, it keeps your game from creating strays and other random pets in the game (that also count as character files).

d. No SS Respawn. Only if you have University. Instead of creating new dormies to become Secret Society members, it forces the game to actually use current dormies as SS members.

e. No Dormie Respawn. Only if you have University. It keeps your game from creating dormies. I don't really use this hack, but it might be useful for those who want to create specific YA sims to become dormies. You can only find this hack in the Director's cut zip.

f. A teleporter, if you are planning to create custom townies from CAS (I'm not explaining this in the tutorial, though). I like the one from Simlogical

Thank you, Carlotta.
