Empty a game completely?

I have about 130 sims in my game and virtually all of them are of my own design. For service sims, I let the game generate them and then edit those sims in CAS and remove/add traits to taste. You can reduce the amount of generated sims by reducing lots that generate them - each bar needs a couple of barkeeps and some barflys,less bars existing and/or visited then less sims. This allows some control over the size of the game you want to play - stay in one neighborhood with one bar, you will only ever have to edit two barkeeps.

There are a couple of mods/cheats to help. MCCC allows you to simply select any sim in the game and edit just that sim in CAS. After editing, you will simply drop back into your game with your new shiny looking bar person.

Do not alter traits in CAS as the sim can keep a remnant of the removed trait with the odd related negative moodlet popping up - e.g. needs to play video game if the removed trait was Geek.

Traits should be added/removed by turning cheats on and then Shift+click the sim and use the option there to add/remove traits.

Of course, you can use CAS if you want the trait remnant to add a wrinkle to the sim.

MCCC also offers some other population control functions.

I delete all of the premades before I start any new save. Then I bulldoze all those lots, replace them with my own builds and move in my Sims from my gallery.

I've got a template save where I've redone the town (mostly -- I go in stages between updatng the worlds) and only have my base game families in. That way I don't have to redo everything. Plus, I have some lots I want to keep in, for example my Arts and Science Center in Newcrest because I have a completely built and upgraded rocket there so it's easier for my Sims to go to space for collectables.

Ah. And LilSimsie just released a new version of her save... yesterday I think. Gonna do that one next.

...I think I'll actually transfer my sims over to the new LilSimsie save.
A completely empty game was an interesting idea but her stuff is so well made.

I often start new saves with special downloaded sims, latetely with @midnitetech 's empty world, and before that there were other people who provided (almost) empty saves. My most liked sims are preserved through the tray importer, and the Goths etc. are easy to find in the gallery or anywhere. However, I really don't like or need the Landgraab's. ... Evil folk!!!! ;-))))) .... But it IS a lot of work to fill a new world with new houses. I love to download houses from the gallery, and in one save only there wouldn't be enough space for all of them. So different worlds, and always again an empty one (just started a new empty world - of midnitetech - some days ago). I also use the reduced townie generating and similar tools, MCCC as well. And I'm always happy if I don't have to see the face of Moira What's Her Name (the green finger girl) ever so often... I'm very quick to take her club away from her and make it waaay better!!!

Hope you like my save!! <3 Here's the link for anyone interested :) and you can use THIS to rename your own new saves! Happy Simming!

I do the same i delete nearly every premades except the ones in myshuno,windenburg and tge pancakes and goths.
After I wiped them from existence, i fill the houses with my own sims.
To control the horrible deformed townies I downloaded some mod that slows down tge generation of them by ALOT.

@midnitetech : Yeah, thank you, I absolutely like your saves, because they are really EMPTY!!!! <3 :) B) I was, however, relieved to find that the apartments in San Myshuno weren't emptied out of furniture. I had that in someone else's empty save, but not in yours. So really: Thanks a bunch!!!! :)
I also tried lilsimie's saves, but there were toooo many people and it was such work to evict them. But she has great clubs. I'm glad to learn that she's updated her world, so I could try that also. But the real empty worlds are great if you don't mind spending the time to set all the houses and sims. I find it way better than every random generated sims and I also prefer the houses of my fav creators.

I don't have the patience of adding everything (besides I am sure I would forget things).
That said I am currently creating "LilSimsies Save 3.5" on my computer where I tweak a few things (add lot traits mainly, and evict a few sims that are just boring to make room for my own. Plus I'm sorry, but Gilmore Girls sims get deleted completely. I don't want "Celbrity Sims" in my game. Also her pick for a house in the "nowhere" lot in WIndenburg is just... wrong to me. It will be replaced by a modern style one without palm trees.

My plan is to use that save as my default starter from now on (instead of Vanilla or LilSimsies actually new save (3.0).

That said I am planning to then, again, empty this one completely but instead of putting random sims in actually take my time and pick Sims that looks interesting from the gallery.
I will keep Vlad, beacause without him the game will randomly generate a "master vampire", and I don't want it to randomly grab one of the Sims I put in and turn him or her into a Master vampire for no other reason than Story.
