^ I wouldn't use that method, seems a bit quick and dirty for my liking. A bit too easy. The Nraas method should be sound though.
Personally, I just keep all sims that are generated. At some point you will find that you need something like a town mechanic, a sex symbol or maybe a magician. Just take your unwanted sims into CAS and turn them into the desired sim. No need to delete. In 5 years I've never deleted a sim, theres always a role they can be made to play.
