NPC and Played Characters come in houses and don't leave for days

[Stinalina]

@LonaBoom LOL - I have started making homes with private areas, where I "lock the door for everyone but household". It seems to keep them out, but I dont want to lock to front door for friends, family and key-holders... - Many of them politely wait outside the front door, while strangers walk right in and help them self to food... beds, showers or whatever they can get their hands on!

I mark the bedrooms locked to household only.

I lock the front door to household, but I've been adding people to clubs and unlocking the door to that club as well.  That way friends, relatives, and keyholders and such can get in but randos and paparazzi can't.  The problem is coming up with enough clubs, lol.

@Crin Sorry I keep filling out the form, but each time I post it seems to vanish... I dont know if its delayed so Ill wait and see, but im sorry if they turn up in wrong places...

I have this problem shortly after creating a new household, they don't have "Send Home" and atleast one refused to listen to the "Goodbye" Social Interaction. Now I realize this is mostly my fault for not setting the No Trespassing Setting on my Front Door, but generally it is my belief that since it is more of a "Non-story" Based Interaction "Send Home" should appear on all of these Sims and more over should work. All But One Sim left in my case, but that sim hung around a LONG while before deciding to go home. I've about had it with welcome wagon's in general lol. I wish there was an easy way to prevent that first burst of neighbores without setting "No Trespassing" within the first 5 seconds of a new household, or using up one of my Lot Traits for "Personal Dwelling" - Personally I'd prefer these people call in advance before just showing up anyway. If I want Nightlife I'll send my Sim Clubbing, my home is a sanctuary (in more than one sense of the word lol). Seems worst on Households that only contain Teens and no YA or Older Sims; In fact I was almost sure I got "Force Adopted" by that ugly guy in my house he sooo wouldn't leave....

This issue started happening within the last year, after I purchased EL, SE, NK, and GF. I've only had it happen in Granite Falls (Lakeside Retreat), San Myshuno (VIII Landgraab), and Evergreen Harbor (Stonestreet Apt #3) with my current save that I started in Feb. 2021. I do not have a Send Home option to use so the NPCs just hang out until I can ask them all to leave, but they will leave. They come in waves of twos and threes and will all stay indefinitely. I have not had this happen at my sims' actual house, only apts and vacation homes. There was a previous thread for this issue that was archived in June, and no clear way to fix the issue.

So I noticed this started happening after the sims updated. Random sims moving themselves into my active sims house. I can't ask them to leave and they the door option doesn't stop them from still spawning. I do have mods, but bug still occurs even after I took out the mods.

This problem has been going on for awhile now. I have also seen it happen to other people's game too. For me, the NPC either walks through the back door and right out the front, or they stay and use the stuff inside of my sim's home. Usually they go to a sink and get a glass of water. It happens occasionally with most of my households but is only very consistent with the one household that I am currently playing with inside of the same save file.
