A while ago I had a Post that sidetracked into
using Sims2 PackCleanInstaller to edit Sims Neighborhood Characters.
I mentioned how 'Packaged Ghosts' piled up.
Don't want to go there now.

This time I tried using PackCleanInstaller to edit the Neighborhood Lots File.
I was surprised how well it worked.
I had 'Ghost Lots' I thought were long gone that still had Lot files.
Could see the name and picture very clearly, easy to sort.
Picked the ones to edit out and simply moved to a Scrap Folder for holding.
Ran the Game and it seemed to work Fine, No Glitches.
Eliminated about 25% of the files, cleaned about 90MB of space, 1st try.
(Oops... moved some active households, can't move back. Turned into townies)

I had never heard of anyone trying this before.
Any known problems or consequences?
Any 'Wows' or comments?

Great way to mess up your neighbourhood! Don't try it unless you have a safe backup, and even then- don't try it. Everything in the hoods and characters folders are referenced in the neighbourhood file, so you should edit the neighbourhood as a whole. Sims2Pack Clean Installer is not suitable for this task.

Glad I asked the Question.
Not so Happy about the Answer.

Thought I was on to something,
It Seems like its playing alright.

Put a Backup of the Hood back in.
Think I'll just play both of them,
see what happens to the modded one.

Thanx.
