I've read over the tutorial @esmeiolanthe had wrote. I decided I want empty Pleasantview. I want Pleasantview with all the lots, but no playables because I want to re-make the Pleasantview story, just no *poof, gone* Bella Goth (family aspiration this time), a family aspiration version of Don Lothario, the Broke household WITH SKIP, no Dreamer household, and no Caliente sisters! Where can I find a empty template version of Pleasantview?!

The Beginnings of Pleasantview by marka93 - http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=521653
Go back to the very beginning and tell the ancestors stories.

Jawusa is working on cleaning up all the hoods. I believe she's done with Pleaantview, but they are all still in testing stage as they've not been put as an upload item yet.

Personally, I can't wait to get started on the Beginnings hood as that sounds like it ought to be interesting. See if I can't keep things on a somewhat same line as maxis/EA created :D

I'm not sure if Pleasantview has no playable sims but if you wish to add other clean sub hoods (like downtown or the stealth neighborhoods in seasons, apartment life,...) you have them here: http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/63030.html

Also this great tutorial in MATY with other useful links about other clean templates and stuff: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...ic,10798.0.html

good luck

@celinna I wouldn't recommend the empty templates found on MATY, because what I've heard is that they were emptied using a less-than-safe method. It was the best method known at the time, but has since been found to be not so good.

@Alpal425 If I were you, I would ask Jawusa how you can best be of help with testing their empty Pleasantview. I have heard nothing but good things about their empty "stealth" hoods (hobby lots, witch lots, and so on) and should probably update my tutorial to recommend the stealth hoods. If Jawusa is releasing the hoods for public testing, they're probably pretty close to good, and they're bound to be at least as good and probably better than the options at MATY.

@Both of you: Of course, please take my recommendations on the safety of any empty templates with a grain of salt -- I'm not a programmer, and I don't play the premade hoods, so I don't have much frame of reference.

PS: Alpal425, I'm glad my tutorial helped you figure out what you needed!

@esmeiolanthe I use the ones in meetme2theriver but it's good to know that about the MATY ones, just in case (I had no idea, but you're probably right because they are kind of old)
