Delete sims or kill sims?

Whenever I am able to catch up on the sims 4 packs that I am missing (3 stuff packs and Island living, entered several giveaways for that. No luck so far but you never know) I plan to make a save of just buildings I have made and sims but I don't know if there is a way to delete NPC sims. I know you can evict them from houses but I mean just removing them in a way that they won't show up at all.
So is there a way to delete them or will I need to go on a sim killing spree? Or should I just make a serial killer sim and do that anyway and make a story out of the deaths lol.

    You can delete them by going into manage world and then selecting manage households on the top right corner of the screen. Just click on the X for whichever families you want to delete. :)

    I use MCC Command to delete some. I used to just lure sims over & freeze em with the ray gun. Made a large garden of frozen sims. Refreeze em before they thaw.

    It is better to delete the sims you don't want, because the ghost of dead go into the hidden households and taking up space, deleted sims don't.

    I would just delete them, but new sims will spawn. Sometimes when you get a new pack they will take townies you have already made over to make room for new townies too.

    Yep, even if you delete NPCs, the game makes more because it needs so many sims to fill whatever given role. This is why when I get a new pack, I find out what new jobs, NPC types and cheats were added in and just make a bunch of my own NPCs.

    One thing, don't delete any household that is not homeless, make sure you evict them first, in the event the game assigned them to a lot.

    Not all sims are listed in the manage households though. Just FYI.

    I'm trying to figure out a way to start telling stories, maybe mostly text with screen caps like a picture book or something. I won't do LPs because I hate the sound of my voice and video editing lol. When I start doing that I want as many original sims as possible.

    Until I am able to get a new laptop, since the sims lags already, I removed all of my mods and won't be adding any back until I have a computer that won't take 15+ min to just get to the opening menu but I may re-ad the MC Comand Center and hopefully it won't lag since it would be the only mod.
