Under the cut!

Ever wondered how I made the clean and empty neighborhood templates? Well, I just wrote a tutorial so that you can clean and empty any custom neighborhood you want.

This might be helpful to retrieve a corrupted neighborhood which you want to save. Or if you’d like to renovate a already pre-made custom neighborhood that has occupied lots in it.

I return with another "add a package of sims" subhood/shopping district. This time: TOURISTS!

What you get: A shopping district containing 26 tourists divided into 12 tourist families, with 1-4 sims in each. These are 20 non-native sims extracted from Castaway Stories (both Felicity Island and Wanmami Island, mostly playables and some story-NPCs), plus 6 added by me (family members for some of the extracted sims). One extracted sim was edited by me - see last screenshot/caption. Again, thank you to Jawusa for fixing the faces of the Felicity Island sims!

There are 2 children, 4 teens and 1 elder, which means 19 are adults.

They all have the same genetics (except Robby Smith, who is S4 instead of Castaway-specific S5), aspirations and personalities/zodiacs as in Castaway Stories. Interests/LTWs/Hobbies are randomized, and memories are basic (but clean). Everyone has bios, which have been altered to fit being tourists instead of castaways. They also have normal clothes instead of Castaway outfits, no extra download needed.

How to install: Place in your OFB install location/NeighborhoodTemplate folder - you will need Mootilda's multiple shopping district mod to add it ingame. Add the shopping district to an existing neighborhood. Once it's done, you can remove the subhood again - it's just an empty template, it's only the sims you want. You will need at the very least to have OFB, BV and M&G installed.

These sims will appear randomly to live in hotels and also as walkbys alongside your playable sims in vacation hoods. I think they might also be picked to come home with your sims from school & similar. Note that if a hotel room doesn't have enough beds to fit a whole tourist family that is randomly picked, only part of the family will show up to live in that hotel - this is EA logic and not mine.
