Visit other Sims
Let your Sims use their ownable car to visit thier friends.
Most are Not Compatible with Inteen, adding an option to cars required overriding the car's pie menu. That will conflict with inteen.
Only the last, taxi only version should be OK with Inteen
Apart from the last, taxi only version Ownable cars, therefore Nightlife required.
The first of these (CJH_Hospital+Visit-Pets-to-AL) uses the phone dialogue instead of the travel dialogue which makes it easy to choose another family to visit. It will add 'Visit Sim' to the car's menu if conditions are right. It is available at most locations so your sims can go straight from a community lot to a friend's house.
No matter what I tried, if one sim travels to a residential lot then the whole of that sim's family will travel there also, those that don't get in the car at home will be standing near the mail box when you arrive. So to keep it tidy I've made it so sims can only visit when their whole family is home and OK to travel. They can't visit other sims if they have a baby or toddler in the family (put it down to lack of child restraints). Or if a family member is at work or school.
As these need to override the some of the same semi-globals as the hospital mod this first installment is an extension of the hospital mod.
You will need to remove CJH_Hospitals-Pets-to-AL.Package when you put this into your DL folder.
Pets or any higher EP required
This one (CJH_Hospital&Visit-AL+.zip) will add two options, 'Visit.../Sim' and 'Visit.../Lot' Visit Sim is exactly the same as above. Visit Lot opens the travel (debug) dialogue and from it you can choose any lot in your sim's world including hidden lots and vacant houses. Visit Lot is a bit more difficult to use though, every lot is only listed by it's street address so you would need to know that before using it to visit a sim. Visit Lot is only available from your sim's home.
This one makes all woohoo and makeout mostly comply with the JSW adjuster bouquet so teens can woohoo teens, if teens are enabled to 'behave as aduls' then they can get pregnant, woohoo with adults etc. All sims woohoo naked and will step out of the car naked after a naughty. (I didn't disable jealousy yet though, so be careful).
You will need to remove CJH_Hospitals-Pets-to-AL.Package when you put this into your DL folder
Apartment Life and/or Mansion & Garden is required.
No hospital versions:
These are identical to the hospital+ versions except they have all of the hospital related code removed. They will conflict with the hospital mod.
The first of these two, (CJH_VisitOtherSims-Pets-to-AL.zip) is the same as (CJH_Hospital+Visit-Pets-to-AL) top.
Pets or any higher EP required
The last one, (CJH_VisitOtherSims-AL+.zip) is the same as (CJH_Hospital&Visit-AL+.zip) above
Apartment Life and/or Mansions & Gardens is required.
Taxi Only - should work with inteen.
(CJH_VisitAnyLotByTaxi.zip) This just enables what Maxis already included in your game. Quite simply if the travel debugger is on your sim's lot when a taxi arrives then the travel dialogue that opens will allow you to choose any lot in your sim's world. (Second image above). Remove the travel debugger to return to normal. To visit another family you will need to know their street address. This just alters the lot transition globals to allow them to actually go there and enables them to call a taxi home from any phane while they are there. You need to be sure there is a phone at the lot they visit or that they have their own mobile phone.
I have added the travel debugger here so you don't need to go searching for it. It's a clone of the Maxis' wooden sim statue, in red and found in the same place in the catalogue.
BonVoyage or any Higher EP required
All versions except taxi only, also enable a 'Take Visitor Home' option that was for an E3-Demo (whatever that is), this just allows your sims to take a visitor home. Your sim and the visitor will get into the car and drive off, a short time later your sim will return in the car alone.
Notes:
These required several changes to the car semi-globals and will possibly conflict with other mods, apart from inteen which I know will conflict, I have no idea about any others. The AL+ versions override car's woohoo and make out so will conflict more than the others.
There are some quirks, when I visit a family in M&G the whole family is controllable, in pets they are not. Visiting an apartment can have unexpected results. If the apartment door to the family you are visiting is locked as is the norm you will not be able to pass through or unlock it.
If you visit an apartment you can choose a door and rent the apartment. I have no idea of what would happen if you try that, your sims could possibly be living in two places at once so I wasn't game (silly enough) to try.
If you save and exit a residential lot while visiting, the visiting sims will not be there but their car will be when you reopen that lot. When you go back to their house they will return in their car so your sims will have gained a free car.
Latest Files updated 5th Jan. 2014
CJH_Hospital+Visit-Pets-to-AL.zip
CJH_VisitOtherSims-Pets-to-AL.zip
CJH_Hospital&Visit-AL+.zip
CJH_VisitOtherSims-AL+.zip
CJH_WalkToOtherSimsAL+.zip, (requires Apartment Life and/or Mansions & Gardens) Now adds 'Walk To../Visit Sim' on most lots and Walk To../Visit Lot' at the sim's home only.
'Visit Sim' On all files has been updated to better handle Young Adults. Young Adults can only visit other Young Adults and other sims can't visit a Young Adult if there is a Teen in their family.
'Visit Lot' can't really be altered so you need to take care that you don't send a teen to a university lot or send a YA to a regular lot.
These will no longer conflict with Mog's 'decorative parking space'
