well excuse me for being helpful, i do humbly apologize and in future i won't be so helpful i promise :huh: why force people to sit around searching for stuff all day and figuring things out when you can just tell them how to do it, i did it myself so already knew by heart how to do it. didn't know ...

Retuner -> Settings -> General -> Tunable XML -> Sims3.Gameplay.ActorSystems -> AlienUtils
kAlienHouseholdVisitChanceOffspring = set to zero.

There's other settings in htere where you can turn off or decrease % chance of visists all together

Yep sarah's right it's the only way I figured out to do it too.

You can also go into Ticket+TurnstileTic...

Thank you for your experiments and for sharing this information. Also stuff like "Big Win Odds" was set ridiculously high by default. Now at skill 0 you have 0 chance of big win, and at full skill level you still only have 10% chance of winning the jackpot. That's funny, because I've been broke mor...

Owait, I think GamblingGainPerSimMinute is the # of gambling points acquired per minute, rather than how many minutes it takes to gain. Ahh! So I need to lower it not higher it, I think?
