Default Tell a Sim to be on a certain lot at a certain hour
Yeah, hi all, so is there a way to do so? I am just wondering because i am planing to build a police station in my town and i'd like to "tell" 2-3 sims just to hang around on this lot for, let's say, maybe 6-8 hours every day. Does there exist a mod or something like that? Thanks.

I do not know if there is a mod for that, but one thing I can tell you when the Sims "Needs" drop or get very low 6 or 8 hours everyday will not keep them on the lot, and other words they are out of there.

Hehe, but my building has everything covered. I gave them a kitchen, some beds, laptops etc. Of course they should be able to take care of themselves. ^^

So what i need is a script that forces a sim to stay for a specific time period on a lot.

If it is inactive Sims you're talking about you'll probably need a mod that tackles the MetaAutonomy system and pushes a limited number of Sims to a lot on a regular basis and for a specific duration. As far as I know no other mods than NRaas StoryProgression and AwesomeMod have tried to modify this. While Awesome works under the hood without any possibility to change whatever it changes I don't know whether NRaas SP can be configured to achive something like this.
I think the duration of a stay can be tuned in the Venues.xml but the difficulty is to target the specific number and guarantee that they go there.

You could tag it as a Firestation and make who you want a firefighter and give them police uniforms, I guess. You can change the tag with Nraas Tagger to the Police Station one.

Thanks for your ideas guys. I read in two forums that Anysim Ivy was not updated for a long time and will probably corrupt your save game because it's not working anymore. I don't know if this is true but since i have absolutly no idea how to "code" or modify such files i guess i am going to try what juansfalcin suggested. It sounds good enough to me.

You couls also use Zerbu's Ultimate Career Mod and make your custom police station work as a real, open police station.

I've been using it for a couple of months and it works nicely for me. Others on here have said the same.
I'd say give it a twirl in a test hood.
And yes, Zerbu Careers is really good as well.

EDIT: Actually, can you link to those forums please?
