So, let's say you have a stealth hood that has nothing but a few sims in it, one of the new ones by meetme2theriver, for example, that is meant to be added, then deleted, just to add the bin families to the game. I can't see any reason that I couldn't just delete a sim in there in SimPE before the stealth hood is ever added to any hood. Is there a reason not to do that? And if I could, can I just delete the sim package files or would I need to compensate somehow in simPE. If you aren't sure... what symptoms would you expect to see that this DID NOT work. In other words, if I try it in a test hood, how would I know it doesn't work?

PS: I would ask meetme2theriver, but I already asked a lot of stupid/random questions over there so... yeah.

I recall there being tutorials on how to safely delete characters. at least one at the More Awesome Than You site.

I've seen one, but it talks about going into the game. These sims have never been in the game and I'd like to delete them before they ever go in.
