I kept them separate since some people aren't bothered by the "reading" thing. Call me a curmudgeon, but it has really started to annoy me. With AL installed (and its front door delivery), I just really needed to put a stop to these creepy townies milling about on my stuff.


Well, you can call me one too then, 'cause random guys reading the paper just 'cause no one's brought it in has been really bugging me, too. I'll be grabbing that one, thanks :D

Please don't PM/IM me with requests

Thaaaaank you!! I am so sick of Sims coming by and messing with my trash!! >:O

Abandon ye boolprop and be saved, fellow simmers! Yay, my child, and verily go forth unto the land of non cheating. For I am the salvation, the glory of the anti-boolprop movement.

I've never had sims mess with my trash can, but the newpaper thing bugs the hell out of me. Now if only someone could come up with a hack to nix the uninvited/ungreeted visitors altogether... (I get so tired of randomly hearing the TV on, going to the room and seeing some random townie (or even a Playable) has invited himself or herself in and is watching the TV! (Or playing pool, or playing chess, or whatever) I don't care how outgoing you are, there are some things you just don't do!)

But thanks for this, this is awesome. Also, poor Goopy, always in your pics associated with these kinds of hacks. :D

I have gone out to find myself. If you see me before I get back, please let me know where I'll be.

Yeah, Goopy is my poster boy for unwanted guests. I figure old Mr. Plaid-pants-and-cowboy-shirt is the most easily recognized townie.

The trash can thing drives me crazy! Having to call the exterminator all the time...! I love the idea that someone here had of fencing off the can - never thought of that one! Can you come up with something to stop delivery of the paper in the first place (other than accumulating 3 papers - the maid picks them up!)? Cheers!

i actually don't mind my trash being knocked over. i mean, i used to mind before seasons. but since i almost always have a sim who loves to garden, extra trash means extra composting material. lol

what i can't stand is some random sim reading my newspaper! so thank you! this is the mod i've been praying for!

We need a "not worthy" smiley here...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
My apartment simmies don't always have a balcony or an empty spot in front of the window for a telescope or even enough room for a checker/chess set so the paper has become vital for building logic...Which makes one of the most irritating things in AL (in my opinion) are the neighbors that steal the newspaper to read it and then I can never find it again. Although, I get a kick out of the ones that steal the old paper instead of the new one. LOL.

Cool thanks! I had a dumbo townie make my Sim late to work the other day, the dork stood behind the garage reading the newspaper and my Sim couldn't leave! I was all for him running the townie down, but I guess vehicular homicide isn't allowed...

Since 1happiness just came to gloat about the unnecessity of this mod and not share , those of you who want to unsubscribe to newspapers should check here or here.
Thank you all for the great response to this mod.
