Is it safe to delete Garden Club members?
My neighbourhood is almost game-townie free, except for Garden Club members that appear in every one of my hoods. I don't like them.
Similar to deleting Apartment Social Group Members, I went to Program Files > EA GAMES > The Sims 2 Seasons > TSData > Res > NeighbourhoodTemplate > G002 (?) > CharacterFiles (?) and deleted all files in that folder. As I'm planning to create a new neighbourhood, I'm aware the effects of doing this will only show up in said neighbourhood, just like when I deleted the Social Group townies. I assume this means that no Garden Club members will show up in new neighbourhoods from now on?
However, does this also mean that my sim won't be visited initially by a Garden Club member, inviting them to join said club? If my sim ends up wanting to join the Garden Club later on (I highly doubt this), will there be no one to inspect my garden to induct my sim? Will there be literally no one in the Garden club? Will there be no way to join the Garden Club because of this?
I don't like the pre-made Garden Club members (eg. Jill Smith, Matthew Smith), but I'd be okay if my game generated it's own members as they will suit my game style being generated with my face templates and custom content. I have kept a copy of the character files I have deleted just in case I need to replace them.
So, what happens from here? Have I ruined anything? Will my game generate new Garden Club members in new neighbourhoods or completely annihilate the Garden Club?
Thanks for your help in advance!
