Thank you! I have dozens of genie lamps in my neighbourhood and never use them.
Not actually evil.

I don't recall, is there some other way in game, without mods, to get the genie lamp if the gypsy doesn't bring it?
Would I need a buyable genie lamp mod?

No, there isn't, as far as I know.

Superb! I'd rather buy genie lamp with Sim Manipulator than having to spawn gypsy hag.

I would actually like to have a maximum of 1 genie lamp per household (or even neighborhood); I wouldn't like the gypsy leaving dozens of them at my front door. Is there a possibility of creating a mod that reduces the chances of the gypsy leaving one even if met the requirements?

@Matotty I've found a mod that reduces chance for genie lamps. The description of it:

Genie arriving is now a much rarer event.
Old logic:
Chance = 2% + 2% for each sim > 66% LTA + 1% each sim >= 8 hobby enthusiasm
New logic
Chance = 2% for each sim > 75% LTA + 1% each sim >= 66% LTA

I think it is possible to make a limit for a household by checking sims' memories. A household won't get a lamp as long as it contains an alive Sim who has a proper memory. But you should also think about Sims that move from one household to another since they won't lose their memories.
