Dangers of some NPCs

You may know some of the townies and npcs available in the Sims 2, but playing with some of them is considered to be dangerous and a threat to the game (your neighborhood itself and the game as a whole, including installation files), though, some are just considered to be annoying and others are actually safe to play and add to households.

Dangerous NPCs

The dangerous npcs are npcs that, if played with and have anything changed about them, may threaten the safety of your entire game and should never be played with and/or added to a household. The list below consists of the NPCs that are considered to be dangerous. Each NPC is listed under the reason to why they are NOT safe & are dangerous when interacted with in any other way than what the game intends to:

Not safe because they have incomplete user data:

• Boss
• Driver (e.g. Taxi; Limousine; School Bus; Carpool; Ambulance; Pilot; etc.)
• Repoman
• Social Bunny

Not safe because they are objects in your game's object.package file:

• Bigfoot Bigfoot (NPC)

This does not apply to the bigfoot character found on the secret mountain vacation lot, as they are cloned from this object template. The clone is an active Sim with playable character data.

• Bird
• Father Time
• Genie
• Good Witch Cat
• Grim Reaper
• Hula Zombie
• Ideal Plantsim
• Mrs. CrumpleBottom

This list consists of all NPCs that are safe to play with and/or add to households:
