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.
