A similar thing happened in my game too. A NPC stole something in the bowling and now it's bar is incomplete leaving the lot defective.

@verfens Not only the sinks, but every time I have a visitor to my home, they will take things from my lot. So far, two cabinets, a table, and dishwasher have been taken. I only noticed after I downloaded the newest (knitting) pack. Please fix, this is frustrating. Thanks.

Fix this mess. Thats all i have to say. It's not funny or quirky or anything.

Guest SIMSs swiping my upgraded and hard earned stuff is driving me INSANE. STOP the swiping unless you are a dirty rotten thief. EVERYONE is doing it. Make it stop!

Hi,

 I don't think they will fix this anytime soon.  Some Simmers are saying this is meant to happen. I have not bought the Knitting Pack and will not be getting anything else they produce until this is fixed. They are not looking at the Forums it would seem after several appeals.There is an unofficial fix mentioned earlier on in this Topic ( Post 364) you can download and it seems to work.

Kind regards James

SERIOUSLY. I spend a lot of time decorating my lots, and it is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING to have random NPCs literally just walk into my house and steal things.
I just had to roll back a save because someone came into my house and stole a heavily decorated table/counter combo I frankensteined together for my Sim's Kitchen, and it is too much hassle to try to rebuild it all. The downside is I just lost that sims' career and skill progression since that last save, so...good times.
I'm curious how this slipped past QA. :/ It's ruining my enjoyment of the game, which sucks because it has provided me with a lot of comfort during Quarantine :/

@MickRonsonI don't think this is by design. If it is, then the EA is doing a really bad job on making this on an announcement. In fact, I think "sharing is caring" should be built on "knowing" your neighbors first, not strangers. It should be built on a "common agreement" between our sims and the rest of the community. If it's someone I know and they need something or help, if they ASK first, I might say ok. If they do whatever they want before asking for permission, that is robing/stealing. Makes me wonder how the NPCs would feel if they found out all their stuff were gone and they have no place to live.

As for the game designers, even if they want NPCs stealing stuff, they should've give us an option to enable or not.

I prefer thinking this is a bug and the designers didn't ment to make the sims life harder and a chaos or in confusion.

@Sei_Stargirl By the way, I didn't start on any NAP, but just think that if any NPC needs something, they should ask first.

Well, technically, didn't they give us the option to remove it? Just to not allow the NAP Sharing is Caring be enacted by forcing a different one through? I think we just need to keep an eye on the NAPs and make SURE certain ones aren't enacted.

I agree, it's a bit extreme how it works, and it SHOULDN'T be making commercial lots incomplete. Maybe it should be checking if stealing a certain item would trigger an "incomplete", it doesn't steal. Like if a restaurant requires something like 1 sink, and you have 2, it would allow one stolen, but not 2.

At least we can control if it gets enacted or not. It needs quite a bit of tweaking. As do most NAPs.
