I haven't really had any NPCs at the house personally. I have observed one NPC that randomly knocked on my door (Minerva Charm) who then sprayed one of my trees before leaving when I didn't answer. I'll continue to play around and have my sim invite some NPCs over.

Hi there,

 

So today I had some guests over at my sim's house but they can't/won't leave. 

There is no 'ask them to leave'option or it's greyed out because the sim is already leaving - although he is not.

The only thing to solve this is to travel to another lot. It's frustrating. 

 

I'm not sure but I think this problem wasn't there before I updated my game until the latest patch.

When I played the game yesterday, with the new eco lifestyle expansion, there was no problem.

 

Yes, I do use mods but now I deleted them all but the problem is still there.

I also checked if my lot was actually residential and not a community lot. I moved them out, moved them back in, nothing seems to help.

 

How can I get my guests to leave my house?

@Roseus7 Merging this with the random visitors thread.

Did only people that you invited come over or also others ?

It's only the invited people (including staff).

I’m having this issue too with random sims coming into my house uninvited and no option to send them home or ask to leave - only introductions available since my sims don’t know them.  In IL they use stuff in the house and in GF they walk straight through the house (from the back door at that)

@Maysbat I have this too and I'm on a lot with the "private home" lot trait. They're not even neighbors, they're from all over the world. They're just there. I don't even think the game recognizes them as having been invited because I can't force them to leave.

No mods, no cc.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? testplay the game

NPCs enter the lot, they enter the house (not knocking) sitting down and having a chat.   i don't have the "send home" interaction, my sim don't even know them (so only the different greeting interactions)  so the problem is not fixed.

Turned my one vampire into a mermaid (though I don't think that matters) and moved her into the penthouse in the city. Now every day different random sims appear by the elevator and make themselves at home. As far as I can tell these are all randomly generated sims because I have no idea who they are. The new "send home" command isn't available, only the old "Ask to leave", which still doesn't work properly. Sometimes they leave right away, other times they leave after a while. Either way these sims are not invited or welcome.

 

EDIT: After playing some more it appears as if at least some of these NPCs are intentional (which is an utterly stupid idea to say the least and serve no purpose other than aggrevation). They'll show up in my sim's penthouse, ask her to work out or beg for food, and mock her for not locking the door. The thing is, in apartments (or at least the penthouse) you don't have front door actions on the elevator and even if you place a door between the elevator and the apartment you cannot set it as front door and the game won't consider it a front door, which means you have no trespasser control (because the idiots who coded this didn't put anything in the game options to turn it off). It only gets more annoying because even though these home invaders are not welcome and weren't given permission to enter, the game thinks my girl is busy whenever they show up, so whenever she has to go to class or work I have to confirm twice that she is allowed to leave.

 

The "send home" action never appears on these sims. It is ONLY there on sims that are welcome, like friends with keys, the mail man, the repair guy, family, etc. Not anyone we actually need it for.

 

There was absolutely no reason for adding this bs to the game. The game has always considered the home entrance locked, like it should. The access control just isn't good enough that there's any reason to code it any other way. And despite adding this crap there's no option on the phone to "report home invader" to get these criminals arrested. I grew up in a part of the country where no one locked their doors and we never had random people just walk in. It's simply not realistic (but it is a criminal offence here).

I've seen this on PS4 also. I had a secret society member waltz into Honeydew Fields to get some water, she then left and sat down on a bench outside to drink the water. She was uninvited and there was no option to ask her to leave.

★★ Guide

I’m having this problem too after the newest patch or eco lifestyle. NPC’s just come into my house and there is no ”send home” option. They can also come when my sims are at work/school. And they bake cakes, or at least start baking them and leave them unfinished. The only way to make them leave is to lure them outside by havung a conversation with them and locking the door from all sims except household members. And still they can stay at my sims yard or halllway even for days before they finally leave. This is so annoying that I had to lock 3 of them in to a pool as a revenge.
