Cleaned Up Template Query
 

This is just one of those "idle-thoughts-that-you-have-at-2-in-the-morning" kinda things, but...

What are the advantages/reasons for using an empty N001 template v.s. just zipping up the whole N001 folder (as per Miros's awesome instructions) to achieve the "no pre-made townies in a hood" effect?

It seems to me that the zipping works just spiffy...so why all the different "cleaned out" templates out there?

Some of them have Strangetown (complete with lots) and the other assorted main 'hoods as a subhood. That's very touchy work to keep them functional.

There is some crap left in the N001_Neighborhood.package using my method, but as long as you don't reset the Sim Creation Index (or whatever it's called), the crap just sits there without affecting anything.
