First, thanks for all those wonderful creations you simmers do and the help you've given me :)
Now, onto my problem: I've created A LOT of sims. Now, I have no more room for them and I don't feel like making a neighborhood for them, I made 1 or 2 and its hard enough managing those sims lives, let alone my self-sim. Anyway, was wondering is there a fast way to erase them all. NOT DELETE. You can delete them from the game, however, a copy of them will remain somewhere (I think its C:\myDocuments\EAgames\Sims and the neighborhood that particular sim is in).
The only way I found to truly erase sims is to go through your recently modfied folders in C:\MyDocs\EAgames\Sims and the neighborhood you put new sims in (i.e. 001: Pleasantville, 002: Strangetown, etc.), find the .jpg of sim you created, and delete.
With me so far?...Okay, as I mentioned, I did a lot of creating. Problem: Forgot to erase the sims after they were accepted. Now I have at least 50-100 in a file somewhere wasting space. I have space and lots of it. But I want to get rid of the lot 'em because A) there wasting space, B) don't plan on using them and C) its driving the neat-freak side of me nuts.
I can do a search and find them individually, but is there a faster way to delete them all, barring the reinstall my entire Sims2 collection scenario?
