No Auto Invite

Disables the automatic invite NPCs are granted when a household Sim socializes with them

⚠️ Status: TESTED & COMPATIBLE with the September 22nd, 2026 Patch (PC/Mac: 1.128.90)

No Auto Invite

by deadlystingnyc

You engage in some chit chat with your neighbor on the sidewalk and somehow they end up in your house for the next four hours, raiding your fridge and hogging your TV. Nobody invited them in. YOU definitely didn't invite them in. No Auto Invite makes sure that never happens again.


Why You Need This

In vanilla Sims 4, any social interaction with an NPC while you are on your home lot automatically grants that NPC visit access to your residence. Say hi at the front door and they will walk inside and make themselves at home as if you had formally invited them over. It is one of those behaviors that feels completely wrong the moment you notice it.

This mod patches the auto-invite mechanism so casual social interactions at your home lot no longer grant visit access. NPCs stay outside where they belong.


How It Works

The auto-invite mechanism that grants visit access from casual social interactions is patched out entirely. NPCs you interact with on your lot will no longer walk inside uninvited.

Phone invites and social events continue to work normally, so you still have full control over who comes in when you actually want company.


Requirements

  • The Sims 4 — base game only, no packs required

Installation

  1. Download deadlystingnyc_no_auto_invite.ts4script
  2. Drop it into your Mods folder: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/
  3. In-game, go to Game Options → Other and make sure Script Mods are enabled

Compatibility

  • No tuning overrides. Patches Python directly, making conflicts with other mods unlikely
  • Phone invites and all other visit mechanics are unaffected

Hi, I'm deadlystingnyc! I've been playing Sims since way back in the Sims 1 days! I'm a Sr. SDET by day, and in my off hours I make mods I want in my own Sims 4 game. I'm so happy that other people seem to like them too!
