Unwanted Visitors

Problem

Cause

This isn’t a bug but rather a symptom of one. Something triggers a Sim to treat your home as fair game to enter. Sims should be knocking and wait until you invite them in unless they have a house/apartment key.

See solutions below how you can get rid of such Sims. Most of the time, there isn’t a way to keep them from entering cause even locked doors are getting ignored.

Known Causes

• Neighborhood Action Plans: Sims obsessed with doing specific interactions over and over
• Visitors won’t leave

I’m unsure of all of these are still active.

• Sims that call to meal autonomously can make stranger come into your house.
• Sims that had their keys revoked still enter
• Extreme weather conditions
• Parties and invitations seem to trigger uninvited Sims to also enter the home.
• Sims aren’t triggered to leave after the party is over
• Sims enter homes to drink water
• Sims enter homes to use objects
• Sims enter homes to use spa objects.

• Sulani is a very hospitable world. There are also scenarios where they help you put out fires. Just seems, it’s not working as intended. Why the option is missing, is unclear.
• Vendors and other NPCs can spawn through fireplaces. A bug that is probably caused by Father Winter and can also occur in other worlds.
• Yard sales seem to trigger Sims to enter the lot.
