Version 2.0.0 is now available. It has significant new features and improved functionality. It now possible to have the lot open only on certain days of the week. There is also a new Automatic Mode that will only turn the mod on when a selectable sim is present.
Suggestion for a new mat, a welcome mat for public lots that attracts sims with a certain trait. Athletic sims get attracted to the gym, artistic sims the art gallery, bookworms have the library. But so many other traits have nothing. Where does the logical sims go to meet others that are into logic? The chess park in Sunset Valley? No because that doesn't attract any sim unless your sim goes there and then any sim will be called to visit. Where does the Virtuoso sim go? Well they don't have a place for that trait.
A mat for public lots that follows the default attract hour/number of sims rules for public lots but can be setup to attract sims with a trait like the gym and library attracts jocks and book lovers. This way everyone can create a place for certain sims to go for entertainment rather than not have any place specific for their trait. A club for virtuoso sims with musical instruments, a karaoke machine, a bar and no stereo because the sims that visit will make their own music. A chess park with chess and domino tables, telescopes, a garden for harvesting, and regular park stuff so the logical sims can meet each other and enjoy themselves while increasing their logic skill. A public garden with flowers and harvestable food and a fishing hole that gets gardeners and maybe cooks coming to visit.
Lot type Visitors Allowed is perfect, it doesn't attract sims, it's the rabbit hole on the lot that does the attracting or the Trait attraction mat if we had one.
Worked perfect for making a home based Ambitions Stylist career. Instead of going to the town salon and making the same 10 sims into clowns I used a 20x30 lot made most of it the sims home that was fenced in with locked gates for the family and the other part was a salon. Every sim that was young adult and older managed to show up and was offered a makeover by Amy Bull and got her unique style... Everyone in Twinbrook looked like a clown thanks to Create a style lol.
Party animal household had a home nightclub, they made jack all for money from it but they loved it though some sims would nap in their beds lol. Every day was a party day and no invites needed.
Made a Nectary/bar for another household, nothing like making a bunch of sims puke from $1k+ bottles of homemade plasma fruit nectar though tending the bar didn't count as moonlighting as a mixologist.
The Welcome Mat is brilliant! My favorite was fulfilling Amy Bull's lifetime wish and making Twinbrook into a town of clowns, I still laugh when thinking about them all.
Hi, I'm lucky enough to have the opposite problem to what this mod remedies. Whenever I go to a lot, it is already jam packed with Sims, I'm looking for something to limit how many Sims can be on certain community lots.
I was wondering if that is something I can do with your mod or is the limit in this mod just the limit of Sims that will be invited?
Thanks for this mod, it will be really useful! That said, I didn't find a translation string, I wanted to put the instructions in French to use it more easily in game... Is there another way to translate it other than STBL? It would be so practical! (I would be happy to provide the French translation for you)
@newpaladinx333 -> Thank you very much for this mod! It's an excelent idea you've had. Yesterday when I was playing TS3, I thought about how dead was that place I took my controlled Sims. I like to build Lounges, Arcade places, Dance Clubs and Bars - have quite a few of them in the game, but all of them are always empty... :( The Arcade Place I built is from my 1980's memory...when I was an young adult and there were lots of Arcade Places in my home town (in real life). I miss those places too much...as I miss my youth... :'( Just like you, I also don't have Pets installed. I love them so much that I wouldn't bare see some abandoned (in real life I've rescued a lot of them). You've thought about everything when creating this mod. Cheers for you! I just downloaded and I'll try it asap in my game. I really hope, from the bottom of my heart, you've find a job that gives the merit you deserve! Much love to you, from Brasil <3 Sonia
