I thought I had seen a HOOD that just contained playables from Pleasantview, but now can't find it. Idea was that you could add this "hood" just so those Sims could be added to a hood; then you delete the "hood".

You mean having Pleasantview as a subhood?

Here's MeetMe's cleaned PV .. there are 4 options

I asked the same question in Feb! Don't know if I ever used the "hood" from Tarlia. But yes, it does what I wanted. The fact that it is called a business hood is misleading; it does go in the OFB neighborhood template folder-- that causes all the families from the stealth hoods to generate so you can put them in any hood you want -- and when you install it, you then delete it.

Blame EAxis ... all subhoods go in there .. I personally have it so that none of the stealth families are added to the bin but are available in their own hoods as provided by MeetMe so I can add them if I want or not ...

Yea, I struggled to get a no-townie hood, then got tired of making a few "orphan" kids, so I also used (some) from MeetMe(aka Tarlia)
