Empty Neighborhoods

My favorite aspect of TS2 (Yes, I still play that), is that I can create and empty hood and fill it anyway that I desire.
I know that with what we have now, already decorated and lots placed, I can't have the full customization experience I desire. But, I was wondering if I could turn aging on for everyone, play one house for a week and have everyone in the neighborhood dead. Then evict the new sims?
And does anyone know of a way to delete hood sims and put your own in as townies? Is this a thing? Could this be a thing?
I'm surrounded by other people's work/gameplay and I just want to make it entirely my own experience.

Manage Worlds. You can evict and use build/buy to your heart's delight, and in Manage Households you can delete and edit and replace townies and households.
Now if we could just get an empty neighborhood template or two that'd be brilliant..
Someone yesterday said he'd bulldozed both worlds and saved it as a new savegame. That would work about the same - just start that bulldozed savegame and use Save As
Still wish it was a bit more like TS2 with regards of world building - But I will take what I can get!
Thanks so much!
In manage world view you can view all the sims on lots (the one you have played and the one you have not) and townies (Sims that do not live on lots) as well.
You can populate as many townies as you want , edit them or delete them. add your own set of townies!
The game is very flexible in that.
Like the same day I started the town. Grrr.
Its just frustrating that I downloaded sims to populate my hood and spent hours creating my own only to have my community lots swarmed with game generated townies. This is like the frustration of empty templates on TS2 all over again!
One way to save a household from deletion is to move it to an unoccupied house.
Ive tried an approach of playing townie house hold even for a fraction of a second before evicting then so theyll be marked as played. From the short time i was able to test the game somehow pulled from the played list regularly. My untested theory is if you fill that unknown optimal population number with played townies, the game will most likely pull from that list and wont delete them.

How do you do that.. ??
When I go to "manage households" I don't have any options to create new sims..
If I go to the main screen and create a new household, it automatically wants me to move them into a house.
How do you create an unplayed/townie family??
This would help me out so much..
