I see private dwelling lot trait is mentioned but do you remember before trying with dwelling lot trait was any other lot trait applied on the lot you see issue on?
Do you remember the NAP action which took place recently but not now, any lifestyles etc?

I dont understand why uninvited visitors and paparazzi enter my appartment.

★★★ Novice

I have a Celebrity Home trait to my appartment and still, some unwanted visitors ans Paparazzis enter my place.

 

It is a Penthouse. But they should not be allowed to enter just like that. i cant even knock to the door of a house with a Celebrity Trait, why do they have the right to enter my Penthouse just like that. That dont make sense.

 

It happened with a Paparazzi and with that Welcome Wagon thing. Is it a bug or a way to annoy us?

I've had this happen many times over the various patches.  The first one was a maid who decided he lived here now and put his feet up on the coffee table to watch TV, helped himself to the leftovers,etc.  There was no "ask to leave" interaction, just "Friendly Introduction," "Rude Introduction," and "Flirty Introduction."  It was Love Day and I wanted my Sims to have a romantic evening, so NO.  I tried a lot of things, including having a Sim beat him up (!) but nothing made him leave.  I finally had one Sim invite him to travel to the park with her, then immediately rushed home and locked all the doors and canceled maid service.

 

Twice now Father Winter has decided he lives in my Sims' house.  (I "me tooed" that thread.)

 

Finally, yes, my celebrities have to lock their doors or the paparazzi let themselves in, take photos, and steal.  (I don't have the Sharing is Caring NAP, no, the Paparazzi just steal.) I created a club with the Sims I want to allow in and locked the door to everyone but household and the club.

 

Way to make them leave with mods:  MC Command Center has a "Make Sim Leave" option under cheats.

Way to make them leave without mods:  Act like your Sim is in middle school and have them invite the unwanted guest to travel, then immediately turn around and go back home and lock all the doors, leaving the unwanted guest standing around the park in a blizzard or whatever. 

 

I've also considered using unwanted guests as Vampire Snacks, but that doesn't actually make them leave.

Re: [NEEDS SAVES] Random Sim in apartment/house / Guest not leaving (Patch 1.63.

★★ Novice

I’ve been having this happen for the last couple of months. Sims just walts right in to my sims home, start cooking, interacting with pets, trying to go in my sims rooms etc. I’ll lock the doors for unwanted sims and they still find a way in. Highly annoying. Almost as bad as the sims that won’t stop baking white cakes, which still happens.

Er.  When I had the Maid Incident I googled for a solution and the top hit at that time was "build walls around your unwanted guest and wait 48 Sim hours for them to starve in a 1x1 room with no light or door."  I'm... too much of a softie for that, LOL.  I draw the line at "Hey, let's go to the park! HAHAHAHAHA TRICKED YOU BYE!!!!!"  Wink  Also they would be in your house for 48 Sim hours, which to my mind defeats the purpose. 

 

However, throwing that out there in case you have a different play style or are feeling vengeful.

Re: NPCs keep entering my house uninvited and won't leave - 2021

★★★ Novice

tried to run the "repair" option on origin and now I'm having more issues, first of all, the game doesnt recognize trash cans or sinks anymore. I tried to get my sim to clean dishes and it said there was no sinks or trash cans on the property. Secondly, my sim can't go up or down stairs.

Re: NPCs keep entering my house uninvited and won't leave - 2021

★ Guide

 I moved my sim to the new japanese themed neighbourhood and got a couple of neighbors come in to greet me. The “welcome to neighborhood” event ended and one of the quests never left, she stayed to sleep on my sofa and eat from my fridge, started cleaning and emptied my trash can etc. There is no “send away” option.

 

Here's a link to my save file, the one ending 016 is the current game version. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LP68K7Rj6k0rL-8t8kb9rqwJ7_Z_z7A6?usp=sharing

 

All Expansion packs, all Game packs, all Stuff packs except: My first pet, Romantic garden, Perfect patio, Luxury party and Journey to Batuu. No Kits

 

I have removed all my CC and mods that I used long time ago and have done the cleaning process.
