Yea, I noticed that too. They enter from the dock, walk all the way through my house, out the front door, then stand outside the front door, knocking, wanting in...

 

I wondered why the default house had no way onto the dock from outside. No stairs, ladder, etc. They must have seen the bug and thought the only way to solve it was to remove the stairs and ladder.

Visiting sims won't leave

★★★ Newbie

Just installed Island Life and the June patch.  My sim had neighbors visiting and they won't leave her house.  I had no interaction option to ask them to leave either without going to the mean interactions.  I don't want to alienate all my new neighbors, but how do I get them to leave?  They stayed all night and even woke her up so they could use her bed!  I don't have any mods or CC.  I have all the expansion packs, but not all the game or stuff packs.

Random sims going through house to access the ocean

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020 64BIT
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except My first pet stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just wait around in your home lot at "Lagoon Look" in Sulani with sliding doors to the deck.
What happens when the bug occurs? Random sims in the world use my house as a shortcut to get to the water even tho the doors are locked.
What do you expect to see? Them not going through my house as a shortcut especially with the doors locked
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Hello! So my sims currently live in one of the starter homes in Sulani called Lagoon Look. It comes with a sliding door to the deck/balcony part so your sim can easily access the water. The problem is random sims, non invited sims, sims I've never greeted will at times go through my sims house to jump off the deck into the water. I've tried to lock the doors, repair the game, remove my mods and play the same file and wait for it to happen and it'll still happen. It's not very often but it does happen and it does bother me.

I had that issue too sometimes. I used to shift+left click the NPCs and add them to family then remove them, then they'd immediately leave . Sometimes I used to save then go to manage worlds or load another household, then go back. Try debugging the NPCs too.

Kava Party ruined by uninvited NPCs

★★★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, but the problem regards Island Living only.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you have a Kava Party on your household.
What happens when the bug occurs? Let's say you invited 3 sims to your Kava Party for example, sims that you know or play with; then the party started and uninvited NPCs showed up as “guest”, sims that you neither know or play with, but must importantly you didn't invite them to your party, so you end up with a crowd and chaotic Kava Party, especially if you do a goal event, ruined by NPCs.
What do you expect to see? To sims that I invited will and exclusively show up to my Kava Party, as like in any other party that we could have on the game.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

To be honest I only trying to throw Kava Parties so my sims can accomplish the first part of their Beach Life aspiration, so it's probably if this keep occurring Kava Parties will be less appealing to throw without the aspiration, which is sad because I though this could be a cool way to integrate your sims on the Sulani's community.

I think this might be working as intended.  I remember they mentioned something about everyone on the island being a lot more friendly on the stream and that would play out in some of the events, but I definitely noticed this happening in my save as well.  I didn't mind it though, as I only had one friend at the time, used it to make more.

I appreciate the hospitality of the island as well. But when a sim randomly walks through my house to the easel on the dock, I question it. Also the extra food "parties"... just because you brought extra food doesn't give you the ok to eat what food is in my fridge

I had my Sim host a Kava party with just one invited guest yesterday, alas the house soon became full of uninvited strangers in no time. I did have my Sim introduce himself to some of them, but found no option to ask them to leave.

This happened to me as well. I decided to host a Kava party on my home lot in Oasis Springs. The party was to be my Sim plus three friends.
The guests showed up along with FOUR other Sims she had never met.
I too had only introduction interactions with the "strangers".
