Default Questions regarding Bon Voyage, Relationships and Houses
Hi guys, I know I have been asking about many things recently, but there are some questions I would like to ask:
1-Regarding Bon Voyage, can my now-playing sim have a relationship with a sub-neighborhood sim such as the Takemizu Village subneighborhood?

2-Can my sim live in a subneighborhood and travel between subneighborhoods in a main neighborhood?(e.g: My sim lives in Takemizu Village(inside PleasantView) and wants to travel to another subneighborhood)

3-Do I have to completely clean my sim if I'm moving him/her to a different house in the same neighborhood?(e.g: memories, relationships)

Thanks for reading my questions.

1) Yes. I don't have BV and I know that's possible. I've read too many stories.

2) No idea. I don't think so.

3) Like if Jim Bob lived in a ruddy trailer home, and wanted to move down the lane to the typical suburban white-picket-fence house with his new family? No, you don't need to clean your sim.

Next time, go to the Stupid Questions thread. I have refrained from posting my patronizing 'how to post on MTS forums' image, but I still am not afraid to play that card.

2. If you mean subhoods like suburbs/shopping districts that came with OFB or Downtowns that came with Nightlife: yes, they can. Sims can't live in Bon Voyage vacation hoods though (or am I way off base here? I'm 99% sure!), and you're using that as an example, so I'm not sure what you're asking if what I said first doesn't accurately answer your question.

Also, what Fivey said.

And all the Naaru say I'm pretty fly for a Draenei!

Tourists and locals do not have phones, so it's hard to maintain relationships with them, but you can get into relationships with them in two ways: Bringing one home from school, or meeting them at a vacation destination and cultivating them. Since people from the main and subneighborhoods don't show up on vacation lots except as the current playable family (not even if you have two families in the same vacation hood, which makes me discontented), vacations are great for those married Romance sims who want to have their marriage and eat their 20 unique woohoos, too. "Hey, honey, got a business trip to Takemizu, sorry, can't take you and the kids, love you, bye!"

The game does not distinguish between types of townies when determining who comes home from school, but draws from the highest ID numbers in the game; i.e., those most recently generated. So if, like me, you add BV in an established neighborhood, you're going to be bringing tourists home for what feels like a loooooooooooooong time until the first baby born in the hood after adding it grows up.

Playables cannot live in Vacation hoods except when on vacation.

Makes me wonder if anyone has a mod where no one brings a local home with them from work or school. I already have one where walkbys stay in their own part of town (downtown in downtown, shopping district stays in shopping district, etc.). Guess I could meander over to WCIF.

I knew a 'hood was in trouble when one Sim kept bringing the local chef home with him....

I believe you can ban townies with the Visitor Controller, but of course if you do you'll ban townies from coming home from work and networking, too. Unless you can disallow one age group of one class of sims...I've been reluctant to add it and test it (I do have it, all zipped up) because it causes a neighborhood reset, and I downloaded it while I was going through the installation after the hard drive crash; which resulted in two neighborhood resets in quick succession, so I was sick of them. Plus, I'm done with tourist kids, so it won't be long before I'm done with tourist teens, too. And the time the tourist girl Pollux Stacks dated on his vacation came home with his girlfriend gave me some nice Drama, so it's not all bad. I just get so tired of them, and their not having phones is a pain.

So, my sim can live in NL and OFB-made hoods, but not in BV? If BV hoods were allowed to live in, that would make an interesting story. Anyway, that's pretty much what I wanted to know. Next time, if it's a question like these, I'll post in the Stupid Questions thread. Thanks. Please close or remove this topic.
