Tips and tricks to attract sims onto a generic lot

I downloaded an office building from the gallery for my UTTS story. I'm looking for ways when I want to stage meetings between Liberty and her boss to make it look like a functioning office building. Sims moving about and such. Being an office there is no shortage of computers. Given that sims are irresistibly drawn to them once I get them into the building they'll plunk down at the computers and vaguely look like their working for the background of my screenshots. I'm wondering how to get them inside the building? Set the lot type to a business? Take an open sign, shrink it and hide it and let it draw them in? I'm already prepared mentally to deal with those sims not being dressed appropriately for the environment, so I'm prepared to sacrifice some immersion.

  • Assuming you have Get Together: Turn it into a lot type that can have club meetings on it. Then create a couple of "office" clubs (two clubs of 8 sims should be enough), set their club outfits and select the office lot as their hangout. Choose use computer and drink coffee as main activities, and maybe one or two more that are appropriate.
    That's what I would do, although my most recent experience with this kind of setup is that not all club members show up all the time.
  • I'm not sure if it works on generics but also with clubs you can lock doors for the club on public lots so after you make it their hangout if you can do both they may also come.
  • @MDianaSims I think that's an amazing idea! I love your creative thinking.

    @RedDestiny92 I had been tossing around ideas for keeping the "office staff" out of the boss's office, this pairs nicely with the club setup. I had been planning to have Shantel and Liberty meet at various cafes and such, and I still will on occasion, but the office idea hit me while I was eating breakfast.
