Sims - Neighborhood Walk-By/Visiting Community Lots
SimsDiva:
I hope I'm posting this in the right forum... I'm still learning the lay of the land around here.
I'm playing my latest re-install of the base game (I have none of the EP's at this time). I'm concentrating mainly the Broke house, as usual. With previous installations, I didn't have a problem getting Brandi to meet a potential hubby thanks to a walk by, but this time around it's pretty slim pickin's. Most are either teens or women. So I thought I'd send her to one of the community lots in search of a potential mate instead. No luck. If anyone besides her is there, it's the same sitch.
Is there anything I can do to increase the amount of townies on community lots, or the likelihood of a walk-by? Just thought I'd ask before I gave up and made a CAS Sim for her to meet and marry.

I just have her hire a gardener, who usually turns out to be the male gardener (I forget his name). I have her chat him up whilst he's on the lot, and then call him on the phone until their relationship is high enough that she can invite him over to woo him. If you don't get a male gardner on the first try, just keep calling the gardening service and cancelling out of the transaction until you get the male gardener.
Edited to correct typo. I've been doing this a lot lately. ::)
SimsDiva:
I didn't think of that. I don't use a gardener that often. Too busy decorating inside to think about the outside, usually. Good idea, though. I'll give it a shot. :)
SaraMK:
To increase the number of sims on a community lot you can add this code to your userStartup file: intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims # (where # is whatever number you think your computer can handle... probably no more than 10-20).
There is also a more frequent walk-bys hack on modthesims2.com, but I don't recall if it is compatible with the base game or if it requires some EPs. You could check that out, since it dramatically increases the number of walk-by sims.

You can also use Jeff's visitor controller to control the type of sims you get visiting a community lot. I use this mainly for my single's bar, children's playground and teen hangout community lots I have in my game :)
