Replacing existing townies with gallery ones

Hi everyone! Recently got into playing sims 4 again and apart from my new households, I am into refreshing the worlds and existing households a bit. But I wanna make sure I am doing it right though and I need your help! I wanna refresh/give a makeover to existing townies so that they look better(both them and their houses) but I am not good with CAS so I wanna replace them from gallery sims. The thing is that I am not sure how do it successfully , without creating duplicates, but also making sure that they have the same aspirations, relationships and skills when I end up playing. Any help would be appreciated 🎀 ( I don’t use mods or CC, just some owned dlc and also cheats)

  • lunalovesbiquits​  I assume by the term townies you are talking about the premade sims that live on lots versus the many NPCs that fill roles and are homeless (if you are talking about the NPCs, that's a different story and they will need to be handled differently).  If you do not care about the family trees, then you can delete every one of those households and replace them.  Same with the lots.  So, if you want to go this far, you can delete every sim in Manage Household and bulldoze every lot in the game.  The game has the major sims it absolutely needs in hidden sims or will make them as needed as the game goes on.

    Hope this helps.
