Thank you for that information @kalaksed , I didn't know Patchy would become a hidden household.

The whole thing confuses me a bit, I just want to make sure my save game won't have issues because of it.
If anyone else has experience in deleting Patchy (when he is friends with a Sim) and if it causes consequences, I'd be glad to read about it. :)
