Keeping Specific Sims off Community Lots?
Is it possible to keep a specific sim from appearing at a specific lot? There's a sim I've done everything to discourage from going to the gym, but every time my regularly played sim goes there, she'...

@RandomBuzziness Thanks so much. Yah, I don't want to delete her 'cause she's part of a "story" I'm working on, but dammit I don't want her at the gym! Yes, she does live in a household. I may try to make her homeless to see if it helps.
I wish I knew a way to just change their behaviors so like "gyms are bad" or something! 🙂

@Braxien I tried it on Eliza Pancakes and it seems like it is sort of working. I still see her at the gym but not every time like before. I temporarily moved her out of her current household and into a homeless NPC household. Her bio says her marriage was iffy anyway so maybe she just moved in with a friend? xD (Edit: I can always move her back to her old household later). She has no traits (Business Savvy, Materialistic, Neat, Perfectionist) that have anything to do with the gym so I have no idea why the game always spawns her there in the first place. She does come pre-loaded with 3 points in the Fitness skill so maybe that is why?
For my next experiment I will use testingcheats stats.set_skill_level AdultMajor_Fitness 0 to set her Fitness level to 0 and see if that works. I just picked Eliza Pancakes at random, there are like 4 or 5 others that stalk my Sim at any & all gyms every freaking time she goes there!
- @RandomBuzziness Oooh, I didn't think of that. I may try to take her fitness levels away (if she has any, never checked) and see if that helps! Thanks again!
@RandomBuzziness, good idea! 💡🙌 Eliza always is at my gym too and for no obvious reason! Athletic types I could understand, but not her! 😃 I do know that when you play a Sim, they choose to do more of what you have them do. So a non-artistic Sim will want to paint more and more if you have them paint a few times. I just didn't expect that to happen with a Sim I haven't played (even if she has skill points)! 🤨
(I have played her and her household in their own Save Game, but I almost never play rotationally, so in all my other games she hasn't been played; therefore, the only reason for her to by always at the gym is her fitness skill points! )
Sorry guys, but I have to laugh since this happens all the time in my game and I swear that the game deliberately causes the sims I want to be a certain way to either pig out at the vendor stalls or live in the gym. Really frustrating at times but it's nice to see I'm not the only one.
What I have noticed and thought I would share is that in my save, the sims that keep showing up at the gym seem to be the ones in households that I played recently. Not necessarily the ones in the previous household, but those a couple of household before. Who comes and goes does seem to change over time. What gets me is the sims I want to see at the gym to keep their fitness level never seem to show up there. It's always seems to be the ones I don't want to work out. From what I have seen, there is no method to the madness. Traits and fitness levels don't seem to have much impact and I've pretty much written it off as just random. But the gym isn't any different than any other venue as far as I can see. It's always the married sims that show up at my bars, etc. and very few if any of my single sims when I'm trying to find a partner for a single as an example.
@CGrant56, but I still get Eliza all the time at the gym and I don't play rotationally, so while your example of seeing Sims you have recently played might be a factor in this, it isn't the only factor. 😉 But it is something to look out for, for those who do play rotationally.
