That would break the game. It needs to be able to generate Sims to fulfill different roles. If you try to prevent that, it will keep trying anyway and various terrible things will happen.
i installed this and my game wouldn't start. I uninstalled and my game still will not start. I have removed mods and verified game files and it will still not start. I was literally playing just fine before I installed this. Any ideas?
Do this mod effect vampires spawning for invasions? I've had some weird stuff happening after I installed this mod - is that just a coincidence perhaps
just downloaded the update today and the settings don't seem to stick. when I set the regional filter settings for allowed worlds, they don't save at all.
Is there a way to set hard filter for certain worlds? I am also using Sacrifical 's Zombie mod, and there are zombies that will infect other sims automatically that I want to keep contained in one world. Like in a way so that certain world's sim don't show up in another even during festival or as customers to businesses.
Like I just want to keep zombies in a few zombie infested neighborhood when I want to go into survival mode. But not ruin rest of my vacation town/occult areas XD
Hello. Will your HighSchool Toggle work without rest of the mod? It works perfectly with it, but unfortunately the rest of the mod is not nesessery for me, as I am playing with minimal NPC count :(( I would appeciate if it could be a small fix mod for this issue. Thank you
The High School Toggle only turns off part of the mod during high school events. It's meaningless without the rest, it would be turning off something that doesn't exist. If you don't want the mod, then just uninstall it.
I see. I meant I don't want new npc students generates, as am I trying fully control my game population. I am playing with Zerbu's fix for getting students from all over the simworld, but it doesn't stop the generation for 100%. anyway. thank you for your hard work ♥
I love your mod! Just letting you know that I'm having a problem with only this mod installed and date goals completing at a restaurant. My playable sims also ignore the dress attire (anything other than everyday wear) at restaurants, too.
Hi there, can you join the Discord server and ping me about your issue there? I will need to gather some information about your game so I can look into this.
Any chance you can create a standalone "move sims to world" mod that also includes Batuu and Granite Falls? The full mod is a little too robust and restrictive, but with NPCC defunct I really like this NPC world assignment functionality.
Hi, I'm having issues throwing wedding ceremonies with this mod. I took it out and I have all the regular options, but when the mod is in my game, all the guests leave and I don't have any ceremony options. Is there something I am doing wrong, or a setting I can change to fix this? I love this mod so don't want to keep it out!
Just came here to say this! Weddings are broken for me as well with this mod in my game (tested with just this mod, so its not a conflict). The ceremony activity menu is completely gone. Also, the guest arrive in normal clothes instead of their formal wear and then they immediately leave as soon as everyone arrives at the venue.
The two mods try to achieve a similar goal, albeit in different ways. Mine is a script mod, and because of that, my mod would apply itself over his and could potentially cause unexpected problems if they are together. I recommend you choose one or the other.
hello, is anyone upkeeping this mod? It is not working. It does not allow teens from other worlds to attend the high school. Only teens that live in copperdale copperville whatever it is called. I cannot play my game because of it.
Comments here aren't the best way to reach me. If you need to report an error or get troubleshooting help, please come join the Discord and I or one of my friends can help you out.
@kuttoe Can an exception be made for high school lots? Similar to earlier exceptions made for Discover University? The game is generating NPCs for high school if there are not enough teens in Copperdale - would be ideal if the mod pulled played teens from other worlds before generating NPCs.
hello, is this mod going to be updated to allow ALL teens to attend the high school, as currently it is only allowing teens that live in copperdale to attend. Can somebody let me know :) thanks!!
Sul Sul! Just love this MOD so much! Is it maybe possible to let all teens from other worlds come to school? At the moment it's just Copperdale teen attending School! 😊
I would also like to second this request. Only copperdale residing teens will attend the school. Is it possible to allow others from for this lot and the auditorium?
Great mod. But I have such a desire regarding homeless Sims. I wish I could assign them to a specific world, so that the mod treats them as inhabitants of this world and that they show up on community lots. In addition, that the game selects from among them employees of stands, cafes, special roles, etc. If the game generates itself, for example, a librarian in Willow Creek, it is good to make it somehow visible in Manage Worlds to which world the Sim is assigned, so as not to assign it anymore where elsewhere (and be able to edit the appearance to suit the specifics of the world). Families could have such markings.
Just a heads up: it seems like the filters are not blocking hidden households. So GTW criminals or Batuu denizens are leaking into other worlds. i'm not quite sure if it's this mod doing it though.
Hello, first I want to thank you for giving us simmers a fantastic mod which spice the gameplay, and I am here to send you a feedback about the issue I have probably due to the side effects the mod add. Before there suppose to be vampires harassing human sims while they were sleeping, but with the mod added, they never show up. I hope you could find out if the mod actually is the reason this feature is missing , and it would be better for you to fix this
Vampires will still do night invasions if they live in the same neighborhood as your Sim. If your vampires aren't invading at all even if they live next door, then that must be another mod.
Seems like one thing missing is some in game Settings to adjust how this works. In low pop areas it would be nice if you could disable the effects of the mod. For example, if Newcrest is still mostly empty, you get no visitors to community lots established there.
Is this compatible with WW strip clubs? The lot trait for this venue is a custom one called generic, it may mimic a bar or club but the bartender is assigned from the workers you hire, there are no NPCs that work there. The patrons are NPCs and played/un-played households from other worlds will they still show up? Will all the dancers show up?
Turbodriver codes his venues differently than the normal game. All of the dancers and customers should show up fine, but none of the regional filters will apply to them, so the customers could come from anywhere in your save file.
Hello! First of all, I just wanted to say... I have been enjoying this mod. However, I have discovered a very specific issue when living in one of the houses that is located in Finchwick. Sims in my active household are being assigned to be the Gossipers required for one of the Errands. Which fills and freezes all their motives and also causes a whole host of odd issues; they can't enter their own house, they can't interact with laundry objects, they can harvest/water/weed but only one plant at a time, they can't throw away trash... and possibly other issues as well that I haven't positively linked to this condition.
Hi there! That particular role has been troublesome in the past, but I can't think of any reason why it would be applying to your Sims. Is there something during your gameplay that triggers it, like travelling between lots, or does it seem to be random? For better troubleshooting, please join the Discord server and we can get more information about the situation there.
So because of my gameplay style (historical) I'm interested in a very hardcoded version of this mod. Is there a way to block even tourist sims from hopping worlds? (except when I choose to travel with a Played Household). Or perhaps, having the ability to toggle which sims worlds are allowed to travel where? (For example sims from Windenburg will also show up in Henford on Bagely, but they cannot show up in Sulani, etc). Perhaps a system/UI like what they have for neighborhood stories would work?
Grouping up worlds in an idea that I'm currently thinking about ways to implement. A tourist toggle like you suggest seems like something that should be possible, I'll add it to the list.
I’m excited to see what you’re able to come up with! One more question, though I feel like I saw this asked somewhere else, I just can’t find it: is it possible to view in game what world homeless sims belong to? And then to assign/reassign them? NPCC has a function for assigning sims to different jobs, so idk if this would function similarly.
I'm not aware of anyway to view that info in game. While I would like to make a way to assign worlds to homeless Sims, I don't currently know how to manipulate that data directly, so it will require more investigation on my part.
I scrolled around some more and found the thread where this was brought up.:) so, it may or may not be possible within the mod? But, moving sims changes their resident status? So, in theory, if I have an empty residential lot in, say, Sulani, I can move all the homeless households that I want to be identified as Sulani residents into that lot, one at a time. Then I can evict them from that lot, and they will become Homeless again, but they will still identify as Sulani sims? It could be tedious, but would that work…?
I believe once you evict them, the game resets all of their regional data. Same as if you move them in somewhere. But I need to find out where exactly that info is being stored and do some experiments to be sure.
I saw ChippedSim tweet about how there's no filters on who kids can meet at school in game, and I always thought it was weird when kids in Oasis Springs would meet kids from Mt. Komorebi or Sulani. Is this something you think you'd be interested in adding? Thanks!
this is preventing hired restaurant staff from showing at work. Just uninstalled and hired sims show up. It's probably better to let the mod change the hiring filters than to bypass restaurant staff spawn filters IMO.
I was able to track down the cause of this. A fix for it will be included in the next update soon. Thanks for reporting! Unfortunately, hiring filters and the filters that determine who can show up to perform a function on a lot are very different things in the code and would require a whole other script.
Thanks! I really love this mod, but my gameplay usually involve a lot of business buying and townie rehiring, so I had to turn it off. A bypass is better than nothing. Thanks for working on this mod. The sims 4 is a joke without modders like you.
Hello, happy new year, I would like to ask if you can do something for the Grumpy active career daycare mod, when I have your mod installed and I go into the quarry, my toddlers do not come, is it possible to do some things because I like your mod too (dsl j use google translate, i'm french
How does this effect smaller worlds such as magnolia promenade. I like to use that world as an extension of willow creek. I saw where you were thinking of making this mod a bit less hard coded and I do think that could be good for some of the smaller worlds.
I took a look at the code and was surprised to find Magnolia Promenade is not filtered at all. It's currently a nexus of all the worlds. I'm of the opinion that small worlds like Forgotten Hollow and Glimmerbrook should be fairly isolated, but I am warm to the idea of Magnolia Promenade using the Willow Creek filter. I will continue to look into a soft filter for the mod, too. Stay tuned.
Does it conflict with the NPC Control mod? I have already set a variety of NPC sims to play in different lots (but not living in any world) and I would like to know if they will still show up. Thanks! :)
To the best of my knowledge, NPCC is currently broken and will cause errors by itself. I'm not sure how my mod will interact with it, but probably not well.
No, there's no hidden traits involved. There's a separate kind of game data that tells it where a Sim lives. As far as I know, the only time this can be assigned to a Sim is during creation or when they move houses, so I'm not aware of a good way to assign that to an already existing townie at this time.
Thanks for bringing that up. Sims showing up to an Active Career should already have a bypass, but I will look into this. Can you explain what you mean by "already set some sims before" though?
This mod is making me wonder if there would be a chance to create a similar one with slightly less hard coding, allowing some visitors occasionally from other worlds? But overall this is great and will stop Nancy Landgraab for appearing at every single one of my community lots, so thank you!
There are some situations built in already where visitors from outside the neighborhood will appear. Sims attending festivals from any pack for example can come from all over because it makes sense that those types of events would have tourists.
However, a similar thought to yours did cross my mind while I worked on this update. I think it should be possible to make soft filters work, where the game prefers local Sims but won't shut out others completely. I'll need to ponder on how it would work exactly, and if that's something I should fold into this mod (possibly with a toggle or only for certain situations), or release as something separate.
In the meantime, have fun with your Nancy-free neighborhoods. :)
Thank you for your reply! And happy new year! I'll be keeping a lookout for any mod updates from you as always, in case an idea for this pops up! Thank you for all of your hard work on your mods.

This is a superb mod, along with so many others you've made. Thanks a ton!
This mod is perfect! But...do you think a "don't generate any new sims" option could be added in the future? *fingers crossed*
That would break the game. It needs to be able to generate Sims to fulfill different roles. If you try to prevent that, it will keep trying anyway and various terrible things will happen.

Hello! I've updated my Russian translation for the mod, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i3K_RypCFOJZ7c5w6PKWFhjHOLiuUaps/view
i installed this and my game wouldn't start. I uninstalled and my game still will not start. I have removed mods and verified game files and it will still not start. I was literally playing just fine before I installed this. Any ideas?
For troubleshooting, please join the Discord. It's a lot easier to share game information and diagnose issues there.
i got it working again through some troubleshooting. it was probably that i just have too many mods! thank you for the quick reply!
Do this mod effect vampires spawning for invasions? I've had some weird stuff happening after I installed this mod - is that just a coincidence perhaps
You would need to go into more detail. For troubleshooting, please join the Discord. It's a lot easier to share game information there.

It should be fixed with this latest update! Try downloading the next version and popping that in your game :)

That is working exactly as intended. The mod makes it so only local Sims spawn in their world.

There's a game issue that prevents player-made teens from spawning in High Schools. Zerbu made a fix for it

But hidden households in the same region are still showing up at local restaurants.
This mod is essential! Thanks for working ot in! =)

Doesn't Lotharihoe's Sim Spawn Overhaul already do that?
tbh i prefer this over SSO, feels more stable and less complicated
