Creating a Neighborhood—From Scratch!

Hey guys,

I'm back! I decided to reinstall my game and start everything from scratch... and I intend to create a brand-new neighborhood where I create all of the townies, downtownies and sims that exist in it! I don't particularly want any auto-generated sims in my game!

Has anyone ever done this? I would love some help in doing this! Please let me know.

Thanks.
  • Awww, good memories. Once did Steambridge, a cyberpunk neighborhood. Start small, create as you go, don't try to do everything at once. I think I deleted all the townies and the game created new ones. And keep a strong theme. I find it keeps the interest going longer or it gets too random.

    You will need a mod (before you start) that will make sure all templates and or your hoods are empty of townies and NPCs. The old stand by, by Mootilda is outdated as it didn't really clean those before starting, and left over data. I saw on MTS some months ago someone who had worked with her to create a better mod that improved all that as they said hers did not. But I have forgotten the creator, but you will need that mod so the game doesn't create any in the background even before you start. ETA: If you locate Mootilda's it did not work as it should have per the person who worked with her to create a better one.
