As @ValFreya13 said, you can get rid of any NAP at any mailbox by using the the Instant Repeal option. However, you need to turn on testing cheats first before you will see the option when you right click on the mail box.
To control what NAPs get enacted, just turn off NPC voting in the Game Options like @jpkarlsen said then only your active sims can vote and no NAPs will get enacted in that zone except the ones you want. If you did not turn off NPC voting before you started playing, then NAPs will be active in every zone so you will have to check all zones where you can live and repeal whatever NAPs you don't want to get rid it everywhere. You can open any residential lot in a zone in live mode to repeal a NAP any time.
Hope this helps.
I did know about the mailbox cheat (what I referred to as insta-repeal) but I have understood that I cannot use it with my active sim anywhere else than my own neighbourhood.
BUT now I see the point of disabling NPC NAP voting..! So if there are neighbourhoods where I don't have any of my own sim families living, there are still active NAPs in those neighbourhoods too because of the NPC voting??? Dang it, I just thought it's "kinda fun" to have an actual need for the influence points for the purpose of voting (you know, to vote against the other NAPs) and let the NPCs vote but essentially enabling that setting ruins every neighbourhood I don't actually use.. :/ Thanks everyone for clearing that up for me! <3
P.S. Just leaving this NAP-related sim story here for your enjoyment..
My sim was in mourning after their relative died. A friend called offering their condolences and offered to take my sim out for brunch, and so they went to a restaurant in Magnolia Promenade... And yep, they surely wore bags in there! 🤡 Thanks for dressing for the occasion buddy!
Yes, your active sim can only change the NAPs in the zone in which you live.
But you can still change them in the other zones even if you are playing only one household in the save. All you have to do is play a household in each zone just long enough to change the repeal the naps. Basically, enter a household from the map. Repeal all the NAPs in that zone. Exit the lot back to the map. Then go to Manage Households and mark that household as unplayed again. Rinse and Repeat for each zone.
Whether you leave them in My Households or Other Households is up to you.
Hope this helps.
