eco living and growing together help please

I have my sim living in a micro home and trying to test my community center I built. So what happened is I needed influence points to vote on my home lot to earn influence points. (I can't find the cheat codes to pass a vote at my sim's home) I had my sim meet 3 sims and one asked to stay for awhile. I can't figure out how to get the sim to go home now.

Does anyone know the cheat codes to pass a vote on my sim's home lot?
Does anybody know how to send a sim home? I can't find it in the social menu.

  • I would expect you to be able to vote on your home lot. For community lots you need to live in the neighbourhood of the community lot to be allowed to vote.

    You can cheat neighbourhood action plans and instantly enable them or remove them. Use the cheat testingcheats true. Then shift+click on the community board or a mailbox and enact or repeal the NAP you want. It is instant, no voting.
  • Thank you very much! I did a google search on making sims go home and I found out it's through the calendar.

    I'm building my first community center and I'm trying to learn how to make all the different parts one lot. I haven't found any instructions so I'm guessing how to do it as I go. I don't really know what I'm doing but this is what I have so far. It says the lots are unknown instead of saying community center.

  • Hi @DragonAge_300905 cute building!

    In build mode on your community space lot look in the menus at top left, one of them will have the toggle for switching between the four types. The requirements for each type are different so when you have them selected properly you'll see that happen.

    Though fun fact, the each lot function is same in each type.

    Markets have food stalls automatically filled with vendors. If you put those food stands in other forms (Community Garden for example), they will still be automatically filled with vendors. I frequently use this to have my Community Garden have a produce stand.

    Not to mention that you will see sims frequently dumpster diving on these lots. I get the intention that the lot is supposed to start off as some sort of unused landfill, but I like to use the default state as a boring park.
  • Thank you @mightysprite and @EgonVM

    The dumpster diving was all that sims were doing on the default part even though I had 4 bathrooms, a gym, 3 dumpsters, a kitchen and tv area, a computer area, and chest games with table games area.

    So then I changed the default area to 3 bathrooms, a bedroom with one bunk bed and crib, 3 dumpsters, 2 recyclers, a gym, a kitchen with a tv area, computers and chest games in one room, and in the last room; I have a frizzier, potion cauldron, candle maker, wood working table, and the thing used to make rugs and furniture in eco living.

    The sims now use all the rooms even the kitchen which they would never go in before. The other lots have the requirements but now the default works so well I don't want to vote to change it, lol. They still dumpster dive and woohoo in the trash containers but instead of diving for food they now use the kitchen. Still no infants or toddlers show up, though.

    I read somewhere that you can have up to two vender stands on each lot.

    Not me, but I know you can change NAPs or get influence points by left-clicking the mailbox at home.

    An option to send a visitor home might be found by clicking at the visitor. it's not inside a menu.


    Thank you.

    The sim was staying 6 days at my sim's micro (32 X 32 tiles) home and since there was only one bed with the computer underneath and the tv on the wall next to the bed. The sim visiting kept waking up my sim so I was ready for that sim to leave.

    I did a google search and if you want a sim to leave when they're on a 6 day visit, open the calendar and end their visit.
