That made em laugh! lol Im sooo glad you said your teen has come home pregnant before using inteen because I try to do it all the time and it never happens.I was starting to think it actually didn't work.. Does the sims have to be in a relationship with the guy for it to happen? Or can they be just friends too?

I have not been able to find the No Pet Obsession at Maty. Can you tell me how to find it?
Is it for the Sims2? That site is confusing so some more direction would be helpful.

Squinge's Mega College - A cool mod that allows young adults to live outside Uni and study at main neighborhood or not even attend school and be like an adult, just with teen voice and awkward way of walking. No weather reaction - It's raining, jeez, don't lose your head over that.

NoTownieRegen will not remove Kennedy Cox from any of your neighborhoods. NoTownieRegen has nothing at all to do with Kennedy Cox.

Yep, that's what cleaned hood templates are for.

Sick of having Pleasantview's townies and NPCs in every custom neighborhood? Sick of fixing the mess that "DeleteAllCharacters" leaves behind? If you replace your Pleasantview template with this empty template, neither of the above will be a problem anymore. Any time you create a custom neighborhood, it will be completely empty, with no sims at all.

Once you have those, then you have to remove the original game folders for each neighborhood (be sure to save them!) and replace them with the empty templates for each neighborhood and subhood you want to completely empty.
Then you can use "notownie regen" to its' fullest effect.

In other words, follow the directions for installing these from that thread.

FranH Scholar Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 1,029	I've found that he's not that bad-even being 'facially challenged' with that long nose (sort of a cousin to Benjamin Long, that's for sure!)-but he's very boring to play. Never gets out of sorts, adores his spouse, who in my game happens to be Kendal Cox. They're devoted to one another. Fidelity to a spouse is so terribly tiresome for story lines-especially if they've got eyes for only one another, and cannot be bothered with anyone else.

PolterGeist44 Lab Assistant Join Date: Jan 2010 Posts: 203	I know that there are cleaned templates, but somehow my Multiple Pollination Technician mod from Genensims stopped working somehow (none of my sims got pregnant through alien abduction, I tested through Sim Blender and abduction through telescope) and instead of using clean templates, I decided to do the unwise act of deleting everything in the new neighborhood's characters folder. It hasn't caused any glitches and bugs... yet.

He beat up Mercer Vaughan after he married Amelia and Mercer got drunk at the wedding (that champagne bottle - I swear he was interrupting the service by shouting 'let's toast the "happy" couple" in a loud ironic voice and then swigging it back). Anyway, I've always loved Kennedy for that.

Polgannon Project Seriously, I'm still working on it.

The process for doing this is rather intricate, and you first have to get the empty templates from MATY, where they are all together:
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...hp?topic=4306.0

Once you have those, then you have to remove the original game folders for each neighborhood (be sure to save them!) and replace them with the empty templates for each neighborhood and subhood you want to completely empty.

Agreed, and you are right, Fran.

Curious though, why save the original game folders, if you are sure you will never be interested in borked Maxian hoods anyway? I've long ago deleted mine and replaced them with cleaned, empty templates and have never looked back.

Especially since Sims 2 is no longer being updated with new EPs.

I think the reason to save them originally was for future EP's and patches. I agree with you though I'm never going to use those old borked hoods so why save them. I've got saved clean and empty templates for every hood I have an EP for in case I want to build a new hood or ever get around to building a megahood.
