Custom neighborhood always creates the same townies from Pleasantview. To prevent that, you need to go to your game dir. It's in ''C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2\ ''by default. Browse your Neighborhood folder in ''The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods''. Rename ''N001'' to ''N001-bak'' to disable it.
