Who the hell do you think you are?

Ok, so send me off to Retardo Land, but I generally stick to new replies or posts so perhaps I'm way off base posting this here but I'd really like to see a hack that limits visitor autonomy and I have never come across one.
Building my case for retardo land, I still haven't installed the EPs, so if this exists, I would appreciate being pointed and laughed at and directed to such.
In a nutshell, visitors are driving me bonkers.
In a perfect sim world, visitors would follow whoever home and be good houseguests.
They would not head straight to the chess board, pool, computer, a meal that was not served to them, turn on a stereo, remove an exhausted baby or toddler from a crib, insult a family member they haven't been introduced to etc. I would like them to just stand there, or sit in the closest seat until interacted with by a family member. The only autonomy I would allow them if I knew how to do so myself would be the toilet, a visitor enabled shower, socials with the Sim they followed, or perhaps a family member if they've previously met.
If possible, I would also like anybody from child up to say goodbye.
I've attempted to enforce manners using Inge's doors (do not permit visitors) but I would like to have their host able to invite them to join anything in another room without having to raise walls and change door settings.
I can't be the only person who would appreciate such a thing can I? Is this even possible? If not, at least I ranted, thanks for bearing with me.
Returning to my obnoxious guest filled Sim home and gritting my teeth so as not to kill anyone for their audacity,

LOL!
I have to agree with you here....sim guests are so rude! They always make a B-Line for the electronics or tvs and they'll completely ignore you if you have anything fun that they can get to. I try to avoid buying electronic games and musical instruments for that exact matter...Kind of sad, really, because the instruments are fun normally.

I don't know if something like that would be possible unless there is a way to assign the "outing" or "dates" behavior feature in Nightlife to all the Sims that are not controllable wherever they are. The problem is that it would need to take effect only in Sim houses not on community lot, you don't want every townie to do the exact same thing you do on those lots, well that would freak me out lol. And it would have to exclude when a Sim goes to the bathroom of course.
Well you did your request, let's see if this is possible now...

I for one would love to see a hack that would sto the annoying behavior from guests especially when it comes to them messing witth my babies and toddlers and eating food meant for my resident sims. I had a baby in one of my houses with a soiled diaper the sim parent went to change the Bay and couldnt because the guest wouldnt put the baby in its crib and move. meanwhile flies started buzzing around the baby. I finally had the sim who was dumb enough to bring this guest home say goodbye so my sim parent could care for the baby.I also found another way to circumvent the guests from getting to the cribs. in my house with 19 residents living in it three of the residents are Babies and toddlers so I have 2 adult sims that live there having a pillow fight in front of the cribs. I also would love a hack for nightlife that sims can cook for more than six residents.the way it is now to feed 16 children and adults at the same time I have to have 3 stoves and three refrigerators so enough food can be prepared for the entire family.

I typically keep all of the good stuff locked behind closed doors using Ige's doors at http://www.simlogical.com/index.htm.
It is possible to lock the back door, basement (if you have one), game room, etc. and keep nosey guests out.
DJS http://www.djssims.com/ also has some nice 'no autonomy' instruments (among other things) that help keep visitors from helping themselves so much.
