Default Can NPC's live in your house in the sims 3?
I was thinking of making a family, but I only want to controll 1 sim, is there a way i could make everyone else NPC's but still live in my house?

What you could do is crank up free will to high and then only control one character.

The only time I've seen it happen is with the butler....he/she is non-controllable but lives in the house (provided you assign them a bed).

It would make sense to be able to make others as non-controllable for those who don't want to be bothered with micromanaging every single person and just want to control 1 Sim.

Cranking up the Free Will works to a point, but I still find myself checking them to see what they are doing and if they are doing something stupid or going against character making them stop. My Sim's son is a loner, but whenever I leave him on his own, he starts chatting with others and gathering a group around him...which of course makes him miserable.

if you want, you can add the people you want as babies or toddlers (i can't remember which) and type in testingcheatsenabled true. then type in ageuptoNPC firstname lastname. when they age up it will ask you if you want to age them into npc. they still show up in your family, though you can't control or even center the camera on them.

If you have Late Night, you can type in testingcheatsenabled true and then shift+click on a room door, and you can choose the option of making it an npc door check this link: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...ms_3_Apartments it should work with normal houses too, but in any case, you need to label the rooms, and if you want to go inside the npc room you need a callbox, and cannot place a hidden room marker there, found under buydebug
