In the regular game, a sim from the neighborhood will walk by your house four times a day, at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 10 p.m. These walk-bys are very useful, since you can make friends with them or raise your Social need without having to leave your home lot.

But their timing isn't very convenient. At 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., my sims are usually at work. Sometimes we're at work at 4 p.m., too. And by 10 p.m., my sims are usually pretty tired, far too low in Energy to stand around chatting for a couple of hours.

So I've increased the number of walk-bys. You evidently live in a very healthy neighborhood, because a LOT of your neighbors go for walks! :-) Sims will walk by your house every hour between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. if there are enough sims in your neighborhood to do so. (If there aren't enough sims, make some more! :-D It's good to have at least a few sims who don't have jobs in your neighborhood, so they'll be available to walk by at any hour.)

If your sims live in a house with only one sidewalk, the walk-by sim should walk right past your house, so it's easy for your sim to see and greet the walk-by. If your sims live in a corner lot -- one with sidewalks on TWO sides of your lot -- you may occasionally have to look closely to catch the walk-bys, because sometimes they come in one side and go out the other side, spending very little time actually visible. 6 Sim Lane is especially bad in this regard, as you can see in the picture below. But if you know the time when sims generally walk by, you should be able to catch them. In my game, sims usually enter the lot at around 20 minutes past the hour, so 7:20, 8:20, 9:20, and so on.

This needed~! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

You're welcome! If a thousand people download a mod, maybe two bother to say thank you, so I really, REALLY appreciate your leaving thanks posts on the mods you like.

Definitely needed! Thank you so much Corylea!

You're welcome; thanks for commenting!

I've been playing with a few of your mods just recently @Corylea including this one and I'm really appreciating them! Thank you, this one is especially good for me as I like to invite in people who walk by.

Thank you, Corylea. Another great idea. Love all your stuff and appreciate you!!!

Thanks so much; I'm thrilled that you're finding it useful!

I often have family members who work at different times of day, so I can't take them all to a community lot in Old Town, which is my usual plan when they need more friends to get promoted at work. But with this mod, we have enough folks walking by that we can grab several and make two or three friends in a day. :-)

Aw, thanks, YoNonna! I love the huge upload you made of all your CC, so I appreciate YOU, too.

Thank you, Corylea!
