How to Clean Out Memories

This is relatively safe. Be careful not to delete "tokens" but you can get away with deleting just about anything and everything else. It's always safe to delete memories that say they're owned by somebody else; that's just gossip your sim picked up along the way.

It's a Really Good Idea to get rid of any memories that are like "Did something with Unknown." Those are references to non-existent or corrupted sims.

If you delete "Got married to..." and stuff like that, your sim will still be married (that's defined in the Relatinships tables) but won't wear a ring on the wrong finger.

Back up your neighborhood.
Did you make a backup? Well, do it now! Just duplicate your N00x folder somewhere that the game can't get to it.
Start SimPE.
You didn't make a backup, did you? Well, darn, use SimPE's "Create Backup" feature!
I don't care if it's boring to wait for a backup to complete. Do it! If you don't mess up today, some nasty bug will bite your game next week so you'll be really glad you have that backup!
OK, all backed up now? Then proceed.
Tools... Neighborhood... open a neighborhood in the Neighborhood browser.
Wait for it to load.
Keep waiting! It hasn't even started to load yet.
Oh, now it looks like something is loading!
Finally a bunch of files appear. That must mean it's loaded, but better wait a bit more just in case.
OK, it must be all loaded by now!
Click on Neighborhood/Memory
With the version of SimPE I have right now, I have to scroll down the "List" tab at the bottom, select the one item on the list, and then choose "Plug-In View."
Wait for it to load. Your sims should appear in the left-hand side at the bottom of the window.
Find your victim. You might have to snoop through the households.
Be overwhelmed by all the gossip cluttering your sim's mind.
Select a memory to delete. Click "Remove".
The link to "Remove" is near the bottom, below the list.
Delete some more stuff. Then delete lots more stuff.
Click Commit. <--- Don't forget to Commit the changes.
Save.
