Is there a way to reduce the number of sims on an unowned community lot?
I have intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 20 in my userStartup.cheat.
I don't really want to change as it allows "large" community lots to feel more lively.

I haven't tested it for unowned lots, but SW customer limit adjuster works for owned lots and might be worth a try.

Question: Is there any tool that can be used to give/cure a sunburn to a Sim without having them initialize the action?

When using a default replacement skin, premade Sims have a head/body skintone mismatch. For normal Sims, I make them selectable and use the Manipulator to burn then unburn them, but the NPCs some of them can't initialize actions properly..

I tried that in the past, but it only works if they already have a burn.

If you can age them , then age them back, that usually works to fix the skintone mismatch. Or 'Change Appearance' often works too.

Oh yes @aelflaed that could definitely work, you reminded me that I had a similar problem and solved it with ageing.

Do you use the visitor controller? I use this to tailor the clientele to the lot. More restrictions means fewer sims are eligible to show up. Fewer restrictions = more show up!

Just be aware, if you use the version with personality controls, there is an error in the code - it uses limits of 0-10, when it should use limits of 0-1000. So if for example you set it to "ban shy sims" only sims with 0 outgoing points will be banned, and if you set it to "ban outgoing sims" everyone except 0 outgoing is allowed. This is fairly easily fixed in SimPE. I messaged Midge about it but she hasn't responded.

Which version has personality controls?

That explains why it wasn't working for me.

I use it on my owned businesses but never try on unowned lots.

I use TJ's visitor controller for some owned lots. I didn't know about the personality one but I'm not sure I'll use it.

Does Community time project play well with Merola's clock?
I have Chris Hatch's stand-alone version.

I don't know but I will say that Chris's 'half speed' mod does play perfectly well with his CLT-especially the stand alone version, because it uses Merola's clock as its inspiration.

EDIT: found the link to the time controller from Smorbie's links: https://simfileshare.net/folder/22484/

Does anyone know how to prevent the lot catalog from jumbling up as lots are added and removed?

You don't need the personality one, but it's worth noting that the original TJ one prevents toga parties and stops sims coming home from work, or walking around the town in their work clothing. It also has an error if you ever set the hobby selection and you also happen to have any sims without a "one true hobby" set (which must be the case for certain sims) - this will make the affected lot load forever and if you have testingcheats on, it shows an error related to "community lot populator". Anyway, MidgeTheTree's version fixes this.

With any version of the VC, you can spawn it on any lot by clicking on a sim and choosing "Adjust... Spawn Visitor Controller" or something like that. So you can change settings per visit if you want to.

Sorry, I wrote that last night and apparently forgot to send it!

CrispsAndKerosene indeed added the personality controls, and Midge updated it from there and added the clothing fix, more easily customisable setting for which NPCs are classed as "annoying" and fixed the community lot populator/One True Hobby issue, which plagued me for years until I realised it was VC related.

Since I fixed the Personality traits thing for my game I'm happy to upload it but I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Is that allowed as a share considering TJ is retired or not?

TJ has been retired long enough so that I think he could not care less what anyone does with his files. He said so himself long ago in Simbology. As for other creators, they might not have the same TOU so you'd probably be wise to at least inquire.

According to @CatherineTCJD and @maxon on Sim Crafters, you can use Clean Installer to rename the files.

Question: I have the DNA code for a specific eye colour. Is there a way to search my downloads folder and see which package it's from? I know it's the family dtString in the XTOL.

According to @whoward69, non-compressorized files can be searched plain-text (Windows search or Agent Ransack).

As for compressorized files.... What I did was run a ccmerger on each set of eyes, used SimPE to uncompress everything inside the package (resource tab), and then search through them to narrow down which folder I need to manually dig through.

Hi guys,
I have one apartment lot fully inhabited but whenever I play with one family, there is always a Sim from another playable family that stays in the communal garden. This sim will pee their pants and pass out and stuff. How can I get rid of those Sims without hurting their actual playable life?

Delete with move_objects. They'll regenerate in their apartment, no harm done.

You are also likely to get apartment "ghosts" after moving a playable family out. Same trick works for that.
Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

Is there a reason why a couple won't cuddle/spoon while sleeping in the same bed? I have one couple who just sleeps in their double bed, but they never cuddle. They're in love and married, and they are the only couple who is doing this. I tried resetting the bed, changing it, they even moved out and into a new home, so they have a new bed, yet they still won't spoon
