Tiny Bitsy Question (Did I just mess up my hood?)

[JohnBigOz]

So, this isn't a technical questino, it's more of a "Can I do this?"

So I've downloaded the Clean and Fixed Neighborhoods from MATY (the first 3 in the game (PV/ST/VV)

In the Dreamer household, I've swapped Darleen Dreamer in the Family Tree and Memories for both Dirk and Darren, and I'm wondering if that is a bad thing I've jus done? or is it harmless? (Seeing as I've also removed the original Darleen completely from the trees)

The Darleen I swapped has the unused hairstyle, but the original Darleen is present in the Dreamer household as a ghost, so I'm wondering if there's anything bad about that, seeing as Darren/Dirk are supposed to be related to the original Darleen. If i didn't touch Sim Relations, is it alright?

Also, does anybody know if the Bella Goth in this version fo the hood is a townie or still a missing sim?

[M.M.A.A.]

Not sure about the Darleen issue, but all I know about Bella is that in PV, she is hidden due to the dead token, while ST, she is a townie, not sure if this is the same with these fixed versions of the hood.

[JohnBigOz]

If she has the Death token, does SimPE recognize her as a [Default] family member (wher emost ancestors are located)?

Never mind about BELLA, the original hood has a Blue Background and is placed in the "[default] hosuehold, while the Clean/Fixed is a normal grey background with the Lotario neighborhood (Lothario is a seperate household, with Don).

But the case for Darleen still could be answered.

There should be no problem setting someone else as wife / mother, if you do it correctly.

And how would that be achievable? Just so you know, I don't plan on resurrecting Darleen (the working one).

[Mootilda]

Change the family tree and all memories and fix the sim relations.

You do know what I'm exactly trying to do?

Btw, do I need to fix the relationships with Darleen's parents as well? Or just her ex-husband and son?

[Mootilda]

It seems to me that you just want to change the relationships with her ex-husband and son. You don't plan to resurrect either Darleen or her parents, so there's no harm in leaving them as-is.

The main thing is to be consistent. If Darleen is no longer Daren's wife, then it makes sense to make the relationships and memories match the new reality.

[JohnBigOz]

Well, I don't think the game even initially saw Darleen as Darren's spouse because she was dead, and seeing as I'm not removing her existence, it is only fair that Dirk and Darren remember the hidden Darleen (which, surprisingly I found that hidden Darleen correctly identifies Dirk/Darren as Son/Spouse).
