Description
This is a mod that gives Inge Jones' (Simlogical) Colored Keys extra ability to restrict how likely their holders are to appear on community lots. The likelihoods can be set by clicking on individual key basis, and they cover a number of scenarios, such as visiting lots within the neighborhoods they live in, visiting downtowns they do not live in, visiting neighborhoods with specified classifications, and their priority for staying once they have visited those lots.

With the keys and their settings, you have more control where Sims should appear, and if so, how likely and should they leave early or later. With or without TwoJeffs' (Simbology) Visitor Controller

The original functions of the key themselves are retained, namely door restriction and banning by Visitor Controller. Sims can still be invited over freely - this mod is all about giving player some control over the game mechanism, after all.


Features
  • Control the likelihood in which keyholders are allowed to visit a community lot, based on where they live and the type of neighborhood the lots are located.
  • Fine-tune each setting to control how and where the keyholding Sim is allowed to visit.
  • Each neighborhood can be assigned a classification, from 1 to 8, to override type check.
  • Restrict Sims from visiting outside their own neighborhoods, or allow them to only visit outside their own.
  • Ban them from chatrooms and phone calling, while letting them visit freely.
  • Control the likelihood for appearing in chatrooms
  • Ban for the daily random phone calling
  • Ban for sick Sims
  • Ban for being presented as a school and work friend in my School & Work Friend Choices
  • Assign higher priority to stay, making Sims less likely to leave community lots until lower priority Sims have left.
  • Keys can be cleared away remotely from anyone who has them.
  • Keys can be assigned to Sims who have no keys in their inventories, assigned or not, to promote 1 key per Sim.
  • Key assignment allows for giving keys to Sims outside the household or the lot without needing to load their households.
  • Key assignment allows for keys assigned to be retrieved from Sims outside the household or the lot as well.
  • Keys can be assigned and given to pets, and also be cleared away when needed.
All 6 Simlogical Colored Keys are found in Miscellaneous -> Miscellaneous. They must be placed within Sims' inventories once you finish their settings. Their usage is found in the attached text.

Keys have pre-configured settings - Blue and Magenta have no restrictions, Cyan has slightly restriction, Green has restriction in visiting other neighborhoods, Yellow restricts keyholders from visiting other neighborhoods, and Red is for banned Sims as it prevents Sims from any visits without invitations, even in chatrooms and as phone callers. You can change them by editing their BCONs if needed.

Outside of Simlogical Colored Keys, object and fixes made by other old Sims 2 modders included in this mod are Simbology's Visitor Controller and Pescado's Local Walkbys hack. They have been edited to make use of this mod's features.


Options
The module controlling Sims visiting community lots is within the Visitor Controller folder. Choose either file there. If you have Simbology's Visitor Controller, then replace it with the file from this mod.

The _LocalWalkby module will have to replace the Pescado's original localwalkbys.package file.


Issues
Sims who hold multiple keys should have their settings be identical.

Any existing keys before installation will have to be replaced.

Pet visitation on community lot may not yet take % chance into account - they are mostly for banning as work friends for now.

Please report any issues in the comment section.


Conflicts
This mod adds a new Global BHAV: 0x00000814 for operating with the expanded Simlogical Colored Keys, such as checking for specific key color.

The keys must replace Simlogical's originals or they may not show their settings or even work correctly. Their GUIDs are:


The keys belong to Rugs Semi-Globals group (0x7F2B6F4B), many additions are found in the KeyBanning_Core module:
