More Hospitality for Visiting Family & Friends?
Ancient Sim:
OK, this is something that's bothered me since the start. When I go visit a member of my family or a close friend, I expect to be treated somewhat differently to the way they would treat a stranger who happened to be passing by their house that they decided to run out and 'greet'. Similarly, I would treat them differently to a stranger I happened to 'greet' (not that I would). In other words, family & friends (or at least best friends) should have more 'privileges' when visiting than passing obnoxious townies. I'd like them to be able to prepare themselves a meal, have a shower, that sort of thing, like they would in 'real life'. How many people would refuse their own child a shower if their grandchild puked all over them and force them to go home instead? Makes no sense! Is there any way things could be modified so close family & friends could have slightly better treatment? It's especially silly when a child visits the home it grew-up in and suddenly can't touch half the objects in the house! Maybe they can if they're invited to stay the night, I don't know about that because that option never works for me, they always moan and say there isn't a bed.

That's why I always resort to controlling them myself... :o
Stupid sims.

Visitors technically are allowed to use showers and other objects, but generally choose not to. Same deal with the food thing: They can, but they won't choose to. And why would they need to? They could go home and get their own food at less time and cost.
Inge:
Oh I do find that very close friends and family members do more things. They definitely help themselves to showers occasionally and I have seen one prepare a meal. It tends to be the same categories of acquaintance who also self-greet and let themselves in.

When encouraging them it sure is more efficient having them go back to their own home, only to be invited seconds later for more encouraging!
Active of course... and unfortunatly nice too. :-X
I have never seen visitors prepare meals or take a shower, heh.
