Unused City Living Households

As you may know there are a few unused households from City Living - Pond, Powers, and Riviera.  Now I'm a sucker for unused content, so I wanted to see if I could generate these families in my game by using a mod.

A script mod maybe?  No, I'm basic.  So I just replaced every single premade household xml template in the base game with the template for the unused households, one at a time.  And I hit paydirt!  And learned a few things too.

- I used an early version of the game I downloaded off the net.  I wanted to make sure the Sims weren't corrupted by changes introduced in later games and, of course, the less packs you have the less households are auto generated (and the less there are to delete).  
- Despite these being cut from City Living, they use assets from a variety of packs.  These were not randomly generated and when I removed these packs from the games the Sims were just in their underwear.  This may give us a clue as to why they were cut.  Maybe they were for a promotional video? It's weird that they have outfits from other packs that a user may not have, so I don't think they were ever meant to be in the game proper.
- Patricia is named Lily in her tuning file.  Weird that the name was changed, but whatever.
- Generating the Sims in the way I did erased their names in the old version of the Sims, but not the new version.  Go fig.  For these I just manually entered the names before saving them.
- When generating these guys the way that I did a random Sim would often be generated instead of one particular Sim.  I think the game calls for a (say) random male, so it generates one random male that replaces the most appropriate Sim and then adds the premade Sims I actually wanted.  But, after some time I did generate the entire family and their relationships intact.  I'm not sure exactly what causes the entire fam to generate, but I'm glad it did.  I think I was either at a library or café to make the intact version of these families.  

And there you have it.  The Pond, Powers, and Riviera households, ready for your game.  I think it would be possible to spawn any Sim in the game using this sort of method.  Just make a household that references the Sims you want, replace a bunch of household templates and then wait.  As long as the data hasn't been deleted you should be able to get those Sims back.  

This package contains the files generated in the tray of the old game I downloaded.  It contains each household individually and one with them all merged (mainly for me to make the preview image for them).  To use just dump the files in your own tray.
