Create your custom neighborhood the normal way. Quit right after the neighborhood shows up. Browse the folder in ''My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N004\Characters\ ''(If this is your first custom neighborhood, it will be N004). If the folder is not empty, then you did the steps wrong and will have to repeat it all over again.

If you want to create a default sub-neighborhood (''C:\Program Files\EA Games\(EP)\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\''), you need to follow the instructions [http://modthesims.info/t/420196 here].

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 can't access the folder that contains their data. To get the game to generate the NPCs but not the townies, remove the "-bak" part of the folder and get the "notownieregen" mod, listed on the top of the page. Having this mod will allow the game to generate NPCs, but doesn't allow it to generate townies.
