Navigate to the following location in your file explorer: If you ever want to go back to the originals, just place the backed-up file into its original location. Here are instructions for how to backup all the files you’ll be replacing with empty templates.

Stealth ‘Hoods The empty template stops this from happening by erasing these Sims from the game files. Every new neighborhood created in the game gets the same set of Pleasantview townies. Pleasantview is the only ‘hood that requires an empty template because the game always uses its townies for new ‘hoods. To stop the Maxis Sims from populating in your newly created custom ‘hood, you need to download and install an empty neighborhood template for Pleasantview and empty stealth ‘hoods for several others.
