I am looking for a no skunk mod. I know that there is one on MTS by Neder: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=449623 but this does not work for me for some reason. I already tried making it load last to no avail.

Any alternatives.?

Get the Visitor Controller from Simbology and have fun. http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=17.0

Hi there. Actually, this was one of the things I used to have. I had to remove it because it nullifies the effect of Neder's No NPC Witch and No Pickpocket/Unsavory Charlatan mods. Is there any other alternative or some loading order manipulation I can do to prevent that?

You could try putting zz at the front of the visitor controller file name so it will load last. You could also put visitor controllers on lots where the witch and pickpocket would show up and then use the visitor controller to ban them as well.

Well, you can use the controller itself to ban those NPCs instead. You might have to do it on a lot-by-lot basis though.

The "Visitor Controller" can do that and a lot more so there is no need for other mods to ban them.

You can spawn a "Visitor Controller" on ever lot your sims go to and set it the way you want it at that time.

ADD: You only have to set it once to have it do it all the time on community lots.

Aha. Going back to my original question, I may have found out why Neder's no Skunk mod does not seem to work.

The Visitor Controller should conflict with any mods that ban NPC Witches/Pickpocket/Skunk if it works. I have found that is not the case for Neder's No Skunk Mod. The No Pickpocket Mod works fine.

I used the Hack Detection Conflict Utility from simwardobe.com to check this:

Next, I took a look at MTS2_NDR_PETS_NoSkunk.package
File Type: BHAV
Procedure Name: Function - Load
Group ID: 0x7FFC7F75
Instance ID: 0x00001002

I am not sure what Function Load does.

I have no idea why I set the No Skunk Mod up the way I did. Function load is called when an object loads, but from my slightly greater understanding now, only when the object loads from a save. Hence, the mod doesn't really work.
Bad on me, but mods that prevent behavior are hard to test if the behavior doesn't happen to show up during play.
Several months after uploading, I reworked the mod, making it much simpler. I changed a different BHAV: Skunk- Send a Skunk? and replaced it with a no-op global (essentially making the answer "no").
Find it here until I get around to updating the Expurgator thread.
The only drawback to this is that skunks can still follow Sims home from Freetime Nature Hikes, since the chance card results come from a different tree. I've been using it for 4 years now without incident, though.

I'll agree that the the Visitor Controller is a fantastic bit of work and a superior method to piecemeal fixes. In comparison to 2jeffs, I am but a tyro and my work is sloppy.
The only reason I don't use the Visitor Controller is the altered globals caused a lot reset and I play a huge neighborhood in a rotation (seriously, I know of no one who has more playable lots/Sims) and I didn't feel like going through all my houses with every queue stomped- even though it would have only been once.

Thanks. I'll check it out.
