Anti Vacation Actions: Death to all Nesses

How would one define a "fancy formal party"?
Guests and host in formal wear, having dinner and drinks and a civilized conversation, not acting like a bunch of lunatics. It's my fault though, I'm the one who sent the mayor on a vacation to Three Lakes.
And since the greetings can't be restricted, I'm just going to find them amusing from now on ;D Thanks for the hack anyway, Your Royal Awesomeness.

I don't believe this is possible in the Sims.

Strictly speaking, they COULD be deactivated from autonomous use entirely, but I kinda LIKE having my sims behave like a pack of nutters. I mean, have you seen Awesomeland lately? Pirate songs, slap-dancing, gorilloid chest-pounding, and FIGHT!

The urge to spread these actions seems to die away by and by, if you only suppress them rigorously enough. One of my sims was obsessed with the sea chanty after his return from Melee Island, I was x-ing out ad infinitum (I would have killed him, but he's my favorite). Still, the only things his daughters (born long after his travel) were taught autonomously were the hanging loose gesture and the hula, which I approved of because their mother is an islander. I never saw a want or an attempt to sing the sea chanty ever again - I have high hopes that the knowledge will die with the "Sim who was best friends with Cpt. Dregg" ;D.
Actually, I have no problems with the chanty per se, but I hate it being sung by females (except drunk old whores with adequate voices), and there's no way to prevent it once the plague has begun to spread.

Sounds quite idyllic, in its way. Formal parties are so much more fun when half the, say, wedding guests are slap dancing and pounding their chests, and the other half are upset that X is marrying Y "when she was obviously not my girl anyway, but damn I'm pissed off", and then fighting in the aisle while the happy couple exchanges rings. Makes for a much more memorable day, in my view.
I think if my sims stood around having drinks and hors-d'oeuvres and engaging in "civilized" conversation, I'd have to kill some of them to liven things up. Grim likes champagne on occasion.
