[Solved] Changing NPC appearance without making them selectable
I started a new long-term neighborhood and am currently trying to generate NPCs for every occasion relevant to my gameplay and adjust their appearance if needed, so that there's no unpleasant surprises when I actually play as my families.
I did some minor edits of the safe ones with Gussy Up mod, but I'm wondering if I can do anything about the appearance of NPCs such as Break Dancer, Social Worker, etc? I read that it was unsafe to use Gussy Up/Change appearance on them, but I wanted to clarify that, and if it's a bad idea (visibly it doesn't actually add the sim to the household, but I don't know how the mod actually works), is there something else I can do to change their appearance?
Specifically, I changed Break Dancer's skintone in simPE, but I need to refresh the way he looks in game. And in general, it would be useful to know if it's possible to do anything about such NPCs, for example, if they wear a custom hairstyle that I want to delete from Downloads, or anything like that.
TL;DR: Is it possible to safely edit "dangerous" NPCs' appearance?
