Cool. Wasn't sure if it was bug-report worthy.
Spec details:
- I have all expansions/packs/etc except for the clothing-based kits.
- I don't run mods and never have.
- My game is up to date
- I recently began using the EA beta, but this issue preceded that
Scenario details:
- This has occurred to me across all worlds, families, lot features, many, many game files and has continued through files validations I've made for other reasons
- It does not matter if doors are locked or neighbors/solicitors are disallowed
- I know the de-stressing deconction requires level 4 herbalism, and if I invite sims that are parents to or grandparents to my current sims who I never did herbalism with, they shouldn't even be able to make it
- As stated already, 100% happens at least once during social events (parties or random events like Extra Food, Game Night (or Friend Night, can't remember that one's name), or Welcome Wagon.)
While this might be a different issue, this often happens with White Cakes, also (a bug I noticed kicking in when Snowy Escape dropped).
Either of these issues would be less annoying if consumables were owned by my Sim if they were made on my lot (which makes sense to me). Then I can either drag and toss stuff, or my Sim can put all the potions in my inventory instead of walking them to the fridge one-by-one (which can take a while depending on how far away the grill is from the fridge) because "my sim does not own this item."
What caused me to finally ask about it is I really like my current build on Mua Pel'am on the Key Point lot. My house goes into the water and I have a ladder down into it (this is the strange Sims' access point). Two Sims will swim up to the back of the house at the same time (around 10pm-12am as my Sims are going to bed), climb the ladder and take their turns both making the herbal remedy. Sometimes they complete them, sometimes one gets completed and one leaves a pot, etc etc. And this happened every night for over a Sim-week. I don't want to remove the ladder because it's convenient and the lot is so nice I don't want to implement a fence or try to create additional hurdles that have seemed to help in the past when this issue has begun. And I didn't feel like it was fair to be expected to mess up my own aesthetics due to this bizarre issue. I wouldn't even like it if locking the doors worked because then I'd have to remember to unlock it daily for the maid. If Sims had kept in the overnight thief event, hey, I'd understand. It'd be a nice real-life simulation so I'd have to think of real-life logic to solve it. But jumping through all these hoops because strangers insist on doing late-night baking and grilling? Come on!
I've been kicked out of other Sims' homes for making food, even homes that belong to my Sim's parents so I know relationship doesn't matter. Apparently, it's considered inappropriate. So why do all of these other Sims feel so free to use my resources to make their stuff then litter it around my property?
