Sims entering homes without knocking

[SennaWales]

@Trismagistos No that's not it, especially because there's no option to chat to Yamachan for example. This happens when the family is inside the house doing their own stuff, passers by and sims that my family have some sort of relationship with (but with no key) just walk in, and the chatting starts after they're inside the house. I'm also singling out Yamachan because she (Octavia Moon) makes a beeline for my plants, and this happens more than once so it has to be some form of script.

I don't really want to resort to disallowing visitors because I like them here sometimes, just not uninvited or stealing my plants.

@SennaWales Not gonna lie I laughed a bit because i remember the times i was a global superstar and would be swimming in my backyard and paparazzi would just walk through my home right into my backyard to take pics, very annoying. Anyways on topic, i don’t have that dlc yet and when i’m not a celebrity people actually knock on my door. So might be a bug or maybe dlc related?

😂. . .I'm sorry. . .😂

I laughed at the stolen harvestables. 😅

It reminded me of the first time I played Sims 3 Supernatural and the Zombies attacked my tomatoes. 😰

Anyway back onto the topic, yeah I have that issue also, I think the first version of this issue originally started up with City living, when the neighbors would randomly decide to use your sims trashcan instead of the trashshoot in the hallway,  though I thought they fixed it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know that the issue as we know it currently also started with Island Living. 

 Its been happening alot off and on for me lately also. I have to remember to have my sim to send the uninvited sim home when they won't always leave of their own accord.

Most recently had ran I to this issue in City Living with that annoying teen from the karaoke legends apartment who decided to waltz right in and up the stairs to the computer after one of the two new sims had to yell at them to turn the music off, all they wanted to do was to go to bed after a long day of moving in and the kid had the nerve to just stand there and stare back at him staring at her and all her blank stare of a reaction said in return was "what?" 😐

Don't think any of my sims who have encountered the uninvited have had anything stolen. . .

@SennaWales I found a way around that by giving wanted Sims the keys to the house. So when the door is open the just come and visit. But because my Sims are also celebs, I have to keep an eye on the door, I frequently lock it and re-open it when family and wanted guests with keys come around.

@Wholesome_Goth These random visits and intrusions were fixed in the March update. Then EA also decided to give an extra by denying entrance to Vlad, neighbours etc. But it could well be that with the last update these fixes were undone.

So I will check it out and try to reproduce the situation in Yukimatsu. Anyhow, Have fun playing. 😉

Townies(Including the town mascot in the new snowy escape pack) and even townies I haven’t met yet, keep coming into my house, walking upstairs, stand at the top of the stairs, then walk back down the stairs and leave. Then, Sometimes they will get onto my computer(there’s an office room with desk and computer next to the stairs) and other times they will barge in, get water then stand there. If they don’t leave on their own there is no option to send them home and if there is an option to “Send Home” the interaction gets canceled automatically without my sim talking to them.

Edited to add: I started locking the door for everyone but household members, but even when I invite someone over and “invite them in” they don’t come in because the door is locked(even though I invited them in). So I would like to leave the door unlocked to let my invited guests in without worrying about random townies coming in also.

Here is an example

[RouenSims]

I'm having this problem in Mount Komorebi. LittleMsSam's Force to Leave mod has come in handy many times.

[KitBunFun]

So I just had this happen in evergreen harbor on a new save in stonestreet apartment 4. What happened with mine was Nancy landgrabb walked in and took a mud bath in my tub then took out a bowl of yogurt and didn't eat it then chatted my sim up. I noticed there was a couple other sims standing outside and one was marked as a waste manager and they just stood outside for about an hour then left and Nancy left the same time they did. I got the popup saying remember to take care of outdoor trash and I have only the green initiatives nap active. Nancy did not have the send home or ask to leave options even after a friendly introduction.

Has been an issue for a while. Makes the apartments feel like a community lot instead of residential, with people coming in as they please.

So I've also noticed that sims will randomly walk in my apartment, head toward my sims guitar, and then turn around and leave, like they were queued to play the guitar, but realized "oh hey this isn't my apartment or my guitar"
