For years, I've wanted a way to stop randos from using computers at my sims' houses, workplaces, restricted lot areas, etc. Finally, the dream has become reality!

Although the mod is called ownable tech, it only covers computers.

This mod was made with the Mono Patcher! You must download that in order for this to work.

Updates 04/06/25 - Russian translation added thanks to poppytyan! 23/04/25 - Can now properly set household as computer owner.

What does the mod do?

Choose an owner for the computer/laptop (Control Ownership -> Set Owner...) and no other sim will be able to use it but the owner. This can be an individual sim or a household, dependant on the lot type.

Restrictions cover all computer interactions, in and out of the inventory, except for modded interactions where the modder didn't call the 'IsComputerUsable' method.

You can still access all settings menus on computers as usual.

See who owns the device under the control ownership menu.

Computers can still be repaired by anyone - so your service sims won't be out of a job, don't worry!

Conflicts & Compatibility:

• Will conflict with any mod that edits the EA 'IsComputerUsable' bool. Very unlikely as without the Mono Patcher it would be a core edit.
• Made on game version 1.67.
• Made on Mono Patcher version 0.2.2
