Going off lot can be useful

Squinge used to have something that let the 'take a spin' in a car action be extended. It would pop up a box asking if you wanted the sims to come back yet or something. I am reasonably sure that their motives decayed while off-lot, but it's a long time since I had it installed. It was called something like 'cruise till you're done' if you wanted to look on the graveyard, but with the car thing it may not suit your theme.
Yeah, now I remember. I used to have it even. I'll dig it out. I hope it works on custom vehicles, I can have a horse or something. Thank you very much dusty!

Psychic perception only extends to the moment of woohoo anyway. 1 hour should be all you need, since you can hit engage the moment they leave.
That actually sounds good, more challenging and exciting, except woohoo is not the problem (ACR limits its effect within a room). The problem is the love birds will inevitably greet each other romantically, and kiss, flirt, and more under the influence of ACR. I don't think one hour is enough to call the sim over, greet, jump in bed, get done, and say goodbye, is it?

There's always crammyboy's community time project hack (here). My business families can't live without it.
I never thought of using it, because of its highly experimental status. Now after a second look, the "Home lot progresses normally but the sims are shown as away at a community lot" feature does sound very enticing. But I'm a little not sure. Do I bring the "away" sim to the actually work site and work for eight hours (and the business will run smoothly with the owner and other employees present)? How do you use it, Pyromaniac? Any caveat or advise before I embark on it?

An hour might be enough for the evil deed, but even with the whole Awesome suite of romance hacks, quite a few married sims will freak about flirting, and kissing. I wouldn't have it any other way, since no jealousy at all would be boring.
If I torture my romance sims with marriage, I let them get it on at comm lots as consolation. Sure the hubby could show up as a walk-by, but if you stompinate all the risk, where's the fun? :D

I love that mod and have had no problems with it. You take your "away" sim normally to a community lot or owned business lot and play him for as long as you want him to be away. The community lot or business will work as usual. When you make your sim go home, the home lot will load, but the "away" sim will not reappear immediately. Instead, he will be off world until the time he spent on the community lot has also passed on the home lot. The motives of the "away" sim will be like they were when he left the community lot.
Just bear in mind that sims are very slow in everything they do, so a lot of time seems to pass on a community lot or in the business very quickly, without your sim having done much. I can live with that, though. Just try out if it works for you.

Don't forget about the sethour cheat. I use it all the time with the community time project. I send my sim to the business at 9 a.m., and home at 5 p.m., but very often I end up setting back the hour while I'm there to get more done.
