Across all my neighbourhoods the average number of live births is less than one per year. So in my early days I only bothered to "roll the pacifier" if it seemed likely that a child may be born in the current play session. However, when I made my first custom neighbourhood, (New Desconia) I realised that the randomiser also affected the character of any Sims (mainly NPCs) who generated while I play. When I looked at the character and aspiration of NPCs who generated.in New Desconia, I noticed that most of then were Aries and Popularity. So I started opening CAS and generating a few Sims at the start of every play session. For better or for worse though, it kept generating beautiful (in my opinion) Sims, whom I just had to have in my game. With a rapidly increasing population, I was finding it harder to remember all the Sims in my game. So recently, at Charity's suggestion, I've started using the Batbox to run the randomiser. I still often run CAS to see what aspiration it has chosen, but I generally resist the temptation to add the CAS Sims to my game!

If I have nodormieregen and add a custom University subhood, do I have to do anything with the Program File "NeighborhoodTemplate" folder to keep any EA-generated dormies from being added to my neighborhood?

You need to suppress the Uni Stealth hoods. Renaming the file will do the job.

So I have to rename all three of the hoods here? :
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate

Then if I wanted to add La Fiesta, Sim State, etc. I would have to name them back?

Sorry I know I knew all of this at one point but it's all gone out the window

I'm playing Sims 2 Legacy Edition on my Steam account.

I made a sim in Bella Donna cove, played him for awhile, all good. He took a short visit to a park where the Break Dancer is stationed, but he never interacted; my sim never watched a performance, never gave a tip, never took a lesson. He went nowhere near the Break Dancer, but out of nowhere Break Dancer showed up in his relationship panel at 34 short term and 34 long term. Break Dancer would call on the phone; when my sim answered the phone, he only stood still with the phone to his ear. I assume he couldn't hold an actual conversation with Break Dancer. I could direct him to hang up, which he did no problem. I removed the relationship for both of them in SimPE. It has not shown up again.

Then I started Pleasantview. When I went in the Caliente household, Nina had a want to flirt with Dina, though they both have the correct relationship in the family tree. I didn't really worry about it, I just kept an eye on it and as soon as Nina's wants re-rolled, it rolled off and has not returned.

My question is: are these known bugs with Legacy edition? (I never saw errors like this back when I installed from the discs.)
