Default Is it safe to download a sim and and use it in your neighborhood
I was wondering if it is safe to download a sim for Sims 2 that sometimes have cc packaged into it.

I heard its not safe to download lots with sims in it as it could corrupt your neighborhood.

Just asking cause Im scared of those corruption from memories and gossips.

Thank you

It's perfectly all right to download a sim with CC in it, because when you install them, they'll show up in Body Shop as a model, and the CC will be in your game.
There have been entire neighborhoods made with sims in houses and they're perfectly all right to download and put in your game.

Don't worry too much about corruption-because almost all creators have learned how to avoid it during construction and they're all very careful not to let it happen in their downloads.
There are mods to help eliminate gossip and memories-you'd be wise to find them and put them into your game.
I recommend Boiling Oil's "No Sim Loaded" to be particular. http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=1665

I'm sure you will find others that will help as well.

The major difference between these two is that it
-is- safe to download an entire neighborhood with sims/lots/etc. as long as you put the entire thing into your game as a full neighborhood.
but
it's -not- safe to use downloaded lots that come with sims in them, or to package lots that have sims in them (the lots can be cleaned up, but don't use them as-is in a neighborhood you care about), or to put lots with sims in them in the lot bin.

Sims in lots are not safe because it comes out of someone's game, and in their game, those sims have ties and memories to things and other sims in that game. All of those things get broken.

When someone makes a sim in body shop they are just a sim in body shop. They are not yet 'alive' with ties and memories sicne they have never been in anyones game.

Now one exception is if the creator says the sim cames from their game and they extracted them out with simpe. Those sims should be cloned in bodyshop and the clone uplaoded to be really clean.

Thank you all, it's clear now. Its safe to download a sim now since they weren't technically alive yet unless the creator said so.

I'm planning on doing a starter house first and then eventually moving into a different house, does that mean I shouldn't save them into bin? What's the safe way for my to move into an upgraded house?

You can move them from one house to another-and you can put them into the family bin while you figure out where to put them.
