Who the hell do you think you are?
aussieone:
I get a cranky when visitors do their own thing with instruments and such, but the one thing that does really annoy the hell out of me is when a meal is served and even if clicking on the 'call to meal' - household only, the visitors end up hogging the food and the one of the hungry householders has to go and serve yet another meal!!
If their was a fix for this, then I would be on the way to being a little more tolerant of visitors!! >:(

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 find that the "shoo" option works very well in terms of getting uncontrollable sims to stop doing most things. And also, if they're holding a baby, if you interact w/ the uncontrollable sim instead of queueing up an action w/ the baby, they'll drop the baby to interact w/ you, whereupon you can cancel the interaction and focus on the baby.
But yes, a more intelligent hack for this would be awesome.

I think alot of the reasons behind this behavior is hardcoded with the whole advertising business where each of the items is fighting for the sims attention and lying to them making them think all their needs will be fullfilled if they use it. :P
There are hacks that make certain ones less desirable (myshuno, pinball etc) but then they just go to something else.

exactly but I finally decided not to put up with bathroom loitering and put into use Pescado's toilet paper roll in all 8 bathrooms I must say that works wonders in ahouse with 19 sims and assorted guests .I would love a hack that makes visitors not use stuff that belongs to the family .i put in a pool table for my family and who should run to it a visitor another one was checking himself out in the bathroom a visitor that is so in went thetoilet paper of pescado's it threw him out of the bathroom.

Wow, you've hit a nerve, here!
I've had to resort to making all my guests selectable. I don't want to do this, but I want my sims to have a pool table in their house, and that's exactly what the guests go for, first. I've had to build fences with lockable gates around a stage I set up outside just so my sims could have their little band. I have the no buskers hack, but I use all custom instruments that aren't affected by that. I have Inge's apartment system set up for extra security. And, yes, the food thing is the icing on the cake. There should be an "invite to join" option for meals, or something. I hate having to have all these mazes and locks and invisible fences and security systems just to keep the guests in line. I would LOVE for my guests to learn some manners.
