So, I want to create a couple of lots where the people are supposedly locked in, like an asylum and a prison. I've tried locking people in their rooms, but then when I'm playing another household, I see the locked-in person wandering around the city. I don't want to use Granite Falls or Selvadora because I have other plans for those neighborhoods. I'm wondering if someone lives on an island, like in Brindleton Bay or Windenburg, will they stay on the island or will they still show up in other places when I'm playing other households? I just bought Vampires, so would humans who live in Forgotten Hollow stay there or generate in other neighborhoods when I'm playing other households? Or is there a mod to lock someone up for good? I don't want those crazies from the asylum mixing with the general population, LOL. If I can't lock them in their house, I'd be happy with at least confining them to a certain geographical area.

I was thinking about doing something similar (great minds think alike!) but unfortunately I don't think it's possible to stop sims spawning in community lots. I've had sims spawn randomly in the communal areas of Forgotten Hollow when they don't live there. Just a few days ago one of my Windenburg sims showed up in Forgotten Hollow. The closest thing I can think of is how Strangerville's possessed sims aren't supposed to spawn in other areas so you MIGHT be able to get away with it in that world if you own the pack, but I haven't used it very much yet so I can't be sure.I think a mod is probably your best bet.

with MC you make sims you don't want to be on lots leave (but you keep having to do it a lot) since I have 2 people -I had 3) who I didn't want to be travelling to other lots because they're serving LONG prison sentences

I'm going to test out whether Strangerville is a suitable place for an asylum. Mostly because I want to do something in the game but not play one of my main families, so I can spend some time creating a few inmates and someone to look after them.

I'd very much like to see MCCC controls expanded a bit to allow greater control over gameplay aspects than currently, and i'd also like to see exact features being enabed and disabled as they are designed, rather than it only working part of the time.you switch off autonous woowhoo for your household, and some how it finds a way to trigger woowho while you are focused on another character in the same household. Same with Marriages, you got a played household and you have all the right settings to prevent it, and yet your played sims get married off anyway.having expanded control would be great, especially for roleplaying purposes. so for example an option appears in sim flags, one of those options is they can not randonly spawn in game world, or they can not marry or they can not woowho, at least not until you remove the flag and let it happen. It would be so much bette having everything the way you want it.

they stay in FH only if they are vampires... as far as I know, vampires walkbies are only allowed outside at night.

Okay, thank you. I wasn't sure how it worked.

Okay, you guys. I think what I'll do is use Zerbu's mod to change a residential area to a destination area and use Forgotten Hollow for my 1800s asylum, prison, and orphanage because the atomosphere there is perfect for these depressing places.

I had walkbies coming out of Granite Falls though, I'm not sure this is going to work... my played sims left GF while I was playing another household... the only one who stayed was one I had locked in a basement.

omg I didn't know that would happen with sims on vacation. That totally sucks. Maybe the combination of vacation destination and locking in a basement will work for me?? I'll try it and see when I get to that point, I guess. Thanks for letting me know.

My basement had no door.. that could be enough to keep them inside. You can lock them in and remove the door before rotating household, I think this could work on every world.

I haven't yet used the asylum household for anything other than changing up the residence, making a club for the inmates and so forth. I just looked at Manage Household to see which game-created NPCs need a historical makeover and have just noticed that the household had a baby included. I went in to the household to see who the mother is and it turned out that the Matron is romantically involved with a member of the paparazzi. That is pretty weird! Poor kid, being raised in the madhouse! Good old MCCC keeping me on my toes!
