Eco Lifestyle: what NAPs do you use?

Hello

I generally don't like NAPs in Eco Lifestyle because they are very intrusive. Seeing sims do pushups always and everywhere or getting a violin and playing it out of nowhere breaks the immersion, but I'm also disappointed that you can't disable NAPs effects WITHOUT disabling environmental footprint.

My question is, what are the NAPs that are actually good and non intrusive in your opinion? Because I want to set 4 of them and them just disable the townies voting but I can't decide.

  • I think they are all intrusive in some way. I had the power and water conservation NAP in Evergreen Harbour and was playing in the apartment with the non-functional balcony. All I can say is that my sims ended up showering at the community garden place and eating at the restaurant. I like when the sims find that random tablets dropped in the parks that nobody picks up. You can discover different fish if there are notes on them in the tablet. The random blobs of clay dropped or forgotten on your lots are annoying as you cannot delete them. Listening to bad violin playing is not fun and trying to run a shop full of customers doing push-ups instead of shopping is discouraging. The gardening NAPs will make other sims come and harvest your plants. So you really need to be careful what NAPs you enable, if you enable them, in your neighbourhoods. It might work if you enable one NAP per neighbourhood like the sports one in a neighbourhood where you have a gym, or the gardening one in a neighbourhood where you have a community garden.

    The only one that really bugs me is the fighting one. It interrupts everything. My sims spend all their time watching fights and will nearly let themselves starve to death before they do anything other than watch a fight - and in any crowded location there is a fight going off every few seconds. I've even seen a lone sim fight itself...

    I always use a cheat to remove that one if I find it.

    The bags on head one, I don't care for, but it adds weirdness so I'm not annoyed about it being there like I am with the fights. If the fights didn't interrupt all the other nearby sims I could 'go with the weird' on them too.

    (Is there a mod that will do that, remove the 'react' of nearby sims?)
  • @jyotai You could try MCCC Tuner. In theory it can diasable the autonomy of any action, including "watch fight" (or whatever it is called), but I found it doesn't always work. Tried to disable reactions to soccer ball juggling, but the sims still do it. But most of the time it works like a charm.
