I've seen it stated that it is somehow possible to select the active sim during travel in the Sims 3? Every time I've tried it just sends the sim to the vacation spot and maintains active control on his part.

Basically my question is, is there a way to send 1 or 2 sims off for a while, while controlling the sims left behind at the house? Either via mods or just normal gameplay, if no, is there a way to sort of make a sim disappear for a while, and then bring them back?

That being said, sims in 3 are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. So you can just follow one sim if you wish and leave the others to their own devices. When something important happens (birth, fire) the camera will automatically switch to them. Or you get notifications (for example when they're invited to a party).
In TS3, the NRaas Traveler mod opens up a lot of travel and vacation world related possibilities. But even with that one in play, it is not possible to push sims from the currently being played world into another one. The best you would be able to do even with Traveler is to travel these sims yourself to a foreign world, any world that you have installed, invoke the mod's Change Hometown procedure on them, then leave them there in their new homeworld and transition active play back to the original one. That's quite a bit more than sending them away just "for a while" as they would become official residents of their new world and this may be more than you were hoping to go through in order to arrange such a scenario.

Yeah I've just realized what he meant was being able to send them around town in his mention to sims 3, but he said out of neighbourhood so I was confused as to whether this was a feature. Ehhh I guess I can just make a livable basement, set the sim to non-selectable and ignore them for a while. Thanks anyways.
Well the father of my family is a private in the Army, and as such gets sent away on tours, I just once or twice want to see how the rest of the family fairs while he goes off patrolling a jungle at 2 AM.
