Is there a hack for less cheerleading and less visits from Prof Taylor Boyle?

The cheerleading bugged me too, but the best I could come up with was to disable the "run up and cheer at sim" thing completely. Mascots and cheerleaders will still show up on lots uninvited, and will still chase off the evil mascot, but otherwise they act like dormies.
If you want to try that out, I uploaded it here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12060.0.html
That's perfect, thank you! I don't want to get rid of the cheerleaders. I don't mind them being there. I just want them to stop running around and cheerleading all the time. I'll try out the file. ;D

I thought the drama professors were usually Popularity, not Romance. They do have special coding that makes them instantly best friends and in love with absolutely everybody. Simple way to deal with them: don't answer the door.
Cow mascots are easily dealt with by having a sentrybot. I don't especially like them strolling onto a lot and screwing up relationships, especially engaged couples during a graduation party. Sentrybots keep them away.
Llama mascots and cheerleaders--well, the cheering can be annoying, yes, but they exist to be Influenced to write papers, to be targets for my Romance Sims, and to have the skills and aspirational levels sucked right out of them. They will keep their special cheering coding and appear in their mascot clothes if you marry them in. They make entertaining werewolves.
A lot of people like the TwoJeffs Visitor Controller. I find it squelches a few too many things for my taste.

I can't stand them either. If they come on the lot, I just go into buy mode and moveobjects on and delete them. Then moveobjects off. If my sim is not in a dorm but a home instead, I just lock doors to allow household only.
A quicker way is to stick a BRY controller in the closet. (It's not just for shops any more! So when is Pescado going to commission a smaller mesh; the damned eyesore doesn't even stay inside its own tile boundaries!) It has a Make Bugger Off... option which you can use without leaving play mode. It also nicely eliminates the need to remember to unlock the door when you have a visitor you want to invite in, which I never remember to do. :D

For me, the cow mascot's a challenge. Even though cows will try to flirt almost from the get-go, they tend to be very hard to romance. So, naturally, my Romance sim with "Woohoo 20 Sims" did the cow. She's not marrying him, however, because I once had a sim romance and marry a cheerleader; she doesn't wear the cheerleader costume when she's playable, but when she drops by to visit other sims while I'm playing them, she wears the costume and also walks right in without being invited. Amusing at first, useful when your playing a freewill challenge (she started spraying bugs for one freewill family.) But in the long run, annoying.
BRY is a good idea, but I usually just let them show up and cheer a bit, then tell them goodbye. If they're hard to catch, click on another visitor and say goodbye to everyone.

I have the VC set to ban the cow at Tou Laine Tech and the llama at Renwarr College. Never made sense to me how every uni could have the llama as their mascot and the cow as their rival...where is this fabled rival school.
