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.-->
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
 
===The Sims 2 Pets to Apartment Life===
Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime, and Apartment Life all create the same special townies and NPCs for custom neighborhood. You will need to replace those stealth hood templates with empty ones so the game can't read them. First, download [https://modthesims.info/d/520751 the empty stealth hood templates], and then extract the files.<ref>httphttps://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=4627457#post4627457</ref> Navigate to the ''C:\Program Files\EA Games\(EP)\'''TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate'''\'' folder and perform the following:
 
: 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.
Line 73 ⟶ 75:
When you're done, save the game.
===Creating Custom Townies===
If you have Ingelogicalthe Simlogical Teleporter Cat, you can create your CAS Townies, Dormies, Downtownies, Strays, and Social Group Townies. You will need SimPE to change their names or read the tutorial [[Game guide:Changing names|here]]. Next step, create your CAS Sims and Pets in any gender and ages. You are free to make howhowever many Townies you want.
 
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 createchoose a unique name in case you're confused. When you're done, save and quit the game.
 
Now, open SimPE. Delete ALL relationshiprelationships that 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 a special case, such as Townies in Downtown having a family relation to certain playable Sims. You may also set their careers, skills, gender preference, hobbies, and so on. Otherwise, the game will set them randomly.
 
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 windowsWindows key + r at the same time. Then type in "%temp%" without the " of course  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 youyour game load much faster, no more townies will spawn unless you've created them.
