I just wanted to know ir anyonw had a fix to make sims leave the lot after being told to do so. The last time was the grim reaper came to knock off the chicken but just stood there. I had to leave my lot and then come back so that he would go. Is there a fix for this?

The only fix I’ve currently found for when it’s a random sim that showed up is when my sim is ready to travel I take them with me and then make sure i disband the group and leave them behind. It seems the send home button is broken since sims never want to leave but just want to dig through my trash or steal my harvestables

@MysticGlamazon 

What you describe is an effect of the selfsufficience NAP being active in your neighborhood. The trash rummaging is from a recycling NAP and if it is just one sim doing it the recycle disciple trait.

@jpkarlsen Ok I will look into that, thank you for your help ^_^

@jpkarlsenThankyou i guess i’ll have to go and repeal that NAP 

@ath31as Yeah unfortunately for now having to travel with the sim is the only fix I’ve been able to find, hopefully they will fix this soon because it can be annoying having random sims there.
