I have a bad habit of giving my main Sims the Genius trait which is so boring but I like that they stay Focused.
As soon as I start a new game I delete all of the would-be stalker pre-made households which is almost all of them. I want the game to use townies as bartenders, food stall vendors, chefs, and whatever other NPC roles there are and not use pre-made Sims. I don't want to "meet" Eliza Pancakes or Zoe Patel just because my Sim bought food from their stall which seems to make them appear on every lot that my Sim visits. I don't want to see the same 12 pre-made Sims jogging back and forth in the neighborhood all day and night. Where are the other 150 townies?
I never delete Salim or Caleb though. They often become Good Friends with each other. I did delete Salim once because he kept farting.
