Itun tuning - how to disallow sim action on residential lots?

Post by C-Dark » September 2nd, 2021, 3:16 pm

I wonder if I can disallow a specific sim action being available on resindential lots and the active home lot?

With type="BeInDanceClub" or type="BeInPark" and all other lot types you can influence actions positv or negativ, how should the lot name be for residential?

I'm not sure you can actually do this. When you see "BeInDanceClub" or "BeInPark", it's usually under "Output". Those are just advertisements which make your sim more or less likely to do a given interaction based on whatever criteria is defined.

I know you can set an interaction to not be allowed on community lots, but I don't see any way to disallow something on a residential lot.

You can find more info about ituns and output advertisments here:

Yeah I know that the lot types are for advertisements, unfortunately not for residential lot type, unless someone knows the right name for this.

At least I just get my tuning to work by using the advertisement -200 and you know for what?
For stopping sims watching musicians and I am glad to say - it works, at least for community lots ;-)
I exported the ituns of watch_piano, watch_guitar, watch_bassguitar and watch_drums (mark all and export to package):
I added
<Change type="BeInUniversityHangout" advertised="-200" locked="False" actual="-200" updateType="ContinuousFlow" timeDependsOn="False" updateEvenOnFailure="False" updateAboveAndBelowZero="Either" />
<Change type="BeInPark" advertised="200" locked="False" actual="200" updateType="ContinuousFlow" timeDependsOn="False" updateEvenOnFailure="False" updateAboveAndBelowZero="Either" />

And now the students and teens (I use zerberus mod to make the university hangout to high school in addition - self made building)
do not interrupt their actions to watch the instrument players anymore.
Instead it allows it much more in the park.

I may add some more, but for now I am happy. I only would need the residential lots, because I have a musician room in my house. I won't change the DisallowPlayerSim="False" to true, because this would be global.
