Game Help:Issues Regarding NPCs

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.
