No Autonomous Witch Spells Hack?

I've already posted about this on [livejournal.com profile] wcif_sims, but I thought I'd also post it here for anyone who isn't a member of that community. I'm looking for a hack that stops NPC witches from casting autonomous spells. More details can be found here.

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I use TJ's Visitor Controller (http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=17.0) to ban NPC witches from owned community lots. It's a little clunky, since you have to manually set it on each community lot, but it keeps the roaches away.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Thank you! ^_^ That's something, anyway. It doesn't help the non-owned downtown lots, but it's more of an issue on the the business lots, anyway. This will save my sanity.

I think Pescado's customer selector does something similar.

Well, that's good to know. Now I have a couple of different options.

Oh lord, yeah there's nothing more annoying than random witches showing up and spreading roaches around the place. Especially since I use "sleep on community lot" hacks and have my Sims live in little apartments above their businesses. I will definitely have to look into this hack.

Yeah, those witches really drive me. I don't mind their existence in general, but they show up too often and they have to do their signature spells every single time they show up.

On an owned business lot, I usually just select them and delete them. I suppose I don't even really need the hacks in that sense. I wish that was a solution for all community lots.

You could always hide teleport cats on the unowned community lots, and use it to 'zap' (banish from lot) the witches when they appear. It's the same effect as move_objects delete. On owned lots, Business Uses You has the option to make any visitor/customer go away (useful to get rid of those grouchy customers who only cause trouble, too).

You can place the Visitor Controller adjusters on un-owned community lots in build mode.

I use a hack by XPTL at InSim to get rid of the roaches from garbage and it has the side benefit of preventing the witches from creating them.

He has some other great hacks in the .rar with it.
