@JCPete I merged your post with master thread on this.

Try traveling with your Sim and have Lorezeno tag along. Then go back home alone.

@Ekmidenisi merged your post with current thread

Try travelling to another lot and have the Sim tag along. Then go back home alone.

Works in most cases.

@crinrict I shall try that, however I would like to add I have just found that I can ask Children to leave but not adults. wondering if this could ACTUALLY be looked into without my sims having to travel to another lot at 3 in the morning instead of being asleep

[crinrict]

@Ekmidenisi It's a bug. The travelling is just a workaround for the moment

[Ekmidenisi]

I wouldn't normally be that bothered except I have a 3 sim family living in a tier 1 micro home and having sims hanging around for days on end really is an issue. And it's been a bug for so long now. I don't normally post existing bugs until they get really really frustrating and make me want to stop playing altogether.

In case it helps, here are 2 screenshots (CM: Added to spoiler tag. Please click the spoiler tag to expand and see the images). For the child, any one of my sims can ask him to leave regardless of friendship status. For the adult, nobody can ask her to leave. When this happens with more than one adult (sometimes staying for 3 days+) it gets a little crowded in this lil home

Spoiler

Update: less than 12 hours later i can no longer ask the child to leave

What do you expect to see? Sims acting like normal people and not going into random stranger's houses and stealing their food and being forced to leave. Literally ever. This is unacceptable behavior and the game should at least acknowledge it as being so.

A random Sim appears in my house. Sometimes a notification that they're coming in. Sometimes? No notification at all. Sims come in, eat my food, turn on my fireplaces (which oddly causes fires even if they have fireguard on), and then leave, sometimes taking my food with them that I made with my own sims $$. Many times, these are sims my sim has never even *met* before, like they're not even in the acquaintances list. And before you ask, no, my sims are -not- famous in any way. I should not have to both lock my door (this becomes annoying with pets) AND mark my lot as private to stop random strangers from coming over. Why isn't there an option to "Call Cops" or "Arrest Intruder" That would stop this kind of behavior in game entirely? I don't know a single player who finds this mechanic fun or interesting. please fix or remove it, it makes the game very annoying. Even after my sim asks them to leave, they still don't know who they are in acquaintances. I have now had this happen consistently many times across many different saves/households. I have even had sims I'VE made and played come to visit households randomly intruding on my other played households where they dont even know each other or have ever met. Sometimes I get a "We're friends right" (for my well off sims), but sometimes they're not even that.
And no, they're not vampires coming to suck my sims to death, they're normal, non-supernatural sims. Additionally, the game has been doing this since before I ever installed or played with any custom CC/Mods, so It is not mod related.

As stated, random sims are making themselves at home in my familes home. I haven't had it happen on any other lot type other than Tiny Residential. I have tried changing the lot type, moving the family out and back in, deleting the lot and replacing it and even deleting the families of the sims that are invading. Everytime, new sims arrive and walk in, even if I have the doors locked. When I moved the family out, changed the lot type, changed it back and moved the family back in, the same sim was still standing there and still no ask to leave option. Also tried resetsim and nothing.
