For custom townies, you might need Inge's Teleporter Shrub or Cat, which you can download [http://www.simlogical.com/sl/Sims2Pages/Sims2_Teleporters.htm here].
==Preparing - Disabling the Templates==<!--Note that the templates from More Awesome Than You are not guaranteed to be fully cleaned, and it may leave unwanted references behind. The best way to create a neighborhood that is completely devoid of Sims is to never have any be generated in the first place.-->

Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime, and Apartment Life all create the same special townies and NPCs for custom neighborhood. You will need clean neighborhood templates to prevent that by SaraMK in [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=f3e03603af8c63af055fd5db3d360fdd&topic=4306.0 MATY].

: For Pets, it will be folder P001. Move that folder to a folder on your Desktop (you can call it "TS2 Original Stealth Hood templates" to avoid getting them mixed up), then extract the downloaded P001 folder to that location.
: For Seasons, it will be folder G002. Move that folder to a folder on your Desktop (you can call it "TS2 Original Stealth Hood templates" to avoid getting them mixed up), then extract the downloaded G002 folder to that location.
: For Bon Voyage, it will be folder V001. Move that folder to a folder on your Desktop (you can call it "TS2 Original Stealth Hood templates" to avoid getting them mixed up), then extract the downloaded V001 folder to that location.
: For FreeTime, it will be folder F002. Move that folder to a folder on your Desktop (you can call it "TS2 Original Stealth Hood templates" to avoid getting them mixed up), then extract the downloaded F002 folder to that location.
: For Apartment Life, it will be folder E002. Move that folder to a folder on your Desktop (you can call it "TS2 Original Stealth Hood templates" to avoid getting them mixed up), then extract the downloaded E002 folder to that location.
Once you're done with your new neighborhood, you can remove the empty templates and restore the original templates into their original locations, if you want the default Sims in new neighborhoods again.
{{Warning-header|Do not, under any circumstances, use the <code>deleteAllCharacters</code> cheat to remove all Sims from a neighborhood! Doing so will destroy part of all the character files in the neighborhood and leaves lots of junk, orphaned information, and will [[Game guide:Avoiding corruption|corrupt the neighborhood]]!}}
==Creating the Neighborhood==
Create your custom neighborhood the normal way.
==Creating Sub-Neighborhood==
If you want to create a default sub-neighborhood (''C:\Program Files\EA Games\(EP)\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\''), you need
==Populating the Neighborhood==
You may create your own Townies for your neighborhood or just let the game create them by itself. If you've disabled the N001 folder in the second step, townies and NPCs will never be generated because the game
===Batch-Creating Custom Townies===
Use ''boolprop testingcheatsenabled true'' cheat, and spawn an NPC and Townie Maker. Choose "Create townies" and "townies". For Downtownies, choose "downtownies" instead. Don't bother creating NPCs.
Line 37 ⟶ 75:
When you're done, save the game.

If you have
When you're done, move your Sims into a lot, and use the teleporter to make them a townie by choosing ''Make me a... - Townie, Downtownie'', etc. For Pets, you need to use a Sim and choose ''Make stray... - ''your pet's name. You might want to
Now, open SimPE. Delete ALL
When you're using Windows 7 or 8, you need to delete the files in the virtual store or the same townies will appear again and again. So, after you've done all that is described in this amazing tutorial, after shutting down the game as soon as the neighborhood you just created shows up, open cms by pressing the Windows key + R at the same time. Then type in "%temp%" without the " and press enter. Click on local, scroll down until you see a file called Virtual Store, open it, and then you have to do 2 things: First, set up you as the owner of the folder and set it to "read only"/write protected. Second, delete the EA Folder in there. Not only will your game load much faster, no more townies will spawn unless you've created them.
▲When you're done, move your Sims into a lot, use the teleporter to make them a townie by choosing ''Make me a... - Townie, Downtownie'', etc. For Pets, you need to use a Sim and choose ''Make stray... - ''your pet's name. You might want to create unique name in case you're confused. When you're done, save and quit the game.
==Notes==
▲Now, open SimPE. Delete ALL relationship you see. Note that if you create Child or Teen townies, they MUST have a family relationship with someone older. In this case, delete their family tree, unless you want to make special case like Townies in Bridgeport have a family relation to playable Sim. You may also set their careers, skills, gender preference, hobbies, and so on. Otherwise, the game will set them randomly.
