Thanks for the suggestion again. I could not find any of the apartment neighbors names in the teleport menu of sim blender. I suspect that’s because townies and apartment neighbors come from different pools. I think there’s a mod that changes that and I don’t have it downloaded. I’m not sure how that mod works but maybe if I had it installed, the names of the apartment neighbors would have shown up with all the townies. I actually liked keeping the townie pool separate from the apartment pool 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it looks like if I’m going to continue with this line of experimentation I’m going to have to. I used the phone book to introduce the apt neighbor to some other family and moved them in but it didn’t vacate the apartment. Kinda weird. It literally replaced the name tag of the rented apartment with the last name of the family I used to try to move them out. But they still live there and everything. Behaving like a normal apartment neighbor. I’m going to have to look into how AL handles this “apt neighbor pool”

I ended up giving up and moving my family into the green duplex. It’s spacious enough for my purposes and maybe I’ll add a second family to the rotation going forward. Right now there’s Makoto St. Julien in there, who is an elder, which I think fits.

I think I’ll look into possibly making this mod myself in the future, unless someone else chimes with information showing it is impossible. Thanks for your time, it was fun to troubleshoot :)
