I would have thought that the special lot traits were put in so that we could control which lots our celebrities show up on, but of course, that's not the case, which is unfortunate because celebrities have become way too invasive. And what makes it even worse, is that we can't just have a Sim talk to them and send them away because they don't even have the option to talk to them to begin with, so there is no control whatsoever unless we delete them completely. But what if I don't want to delete them, I just want to control where they hang around? If they weren't so disruptive this wouldn't be a problem, but why, oh why, was this overlooked? At the very least, we could use a conversational option to send them away when they turn up so we can continue with our gameplay with minimal hassle.
That might have been impossible to do the way celebs stats can change so easy. To do what you are asking for would take their stats reaching and staying on a certain level and never falling below that level once they reached it. AI doesn't really work in the Sims like a human brain - it works on programming to specifics in this game. That number could not be a floating number - it is either a false or true specific number.
The only thing I think they could do is tune down how much celeb appearance attracts attention - of course judging how badly other things tuned down work in the game - they would probably get no attention at all and looked at as just another Sim and would probably disrupt the papparazzi activity as well.
I know a few celebs showed up in Strangerville and there they got little attention while the disease was active - they were just another sim to the sims there most of the time - a few did that excited clapping thing in the bar - but out side of that nothing.
I have no clue how they did that - perhaps the infection activity over rides the celeb attention - I am not sure - but it was sort of welcomed by me anyway. The last I saw of the celebs was right before the big fight with the mother, I asked two to fight, but they never showed at the battle. I haven't seen any celebs in town since the cure though.
