[ARCHIVED] Sims invade homes (no ask to leave/Send home)

It also happened just now in San Myshuno. All the vendors suddenly left their stalls and walked in my Sim’s home to use his bathroom. Definitely not fixed. 

There's now about a dozen threads on this. I honestly don't think we need yet another thread on it

Please check if any of these fit your scenario

• Yamachan bursting into homes
• Autonomous Stress Relief Potion on Grill Finishes On Stove
• Autonomous Family Meal Causes Random Sims to Enter Home Uninvited
• Uninvited sims walking into house to "catch up" after sim increases fame level
• Unwanted Visitors in Dorms after Party/Event
• NPC Go Inside Apartment in Extreme Weather
• Uninvited Sims Entering Owned Homes/Apartments (ask to leave present)
• NPCs entering my home without permission to play instruments
• Random Townies Repairing Wind Turbines and Eco Living Objects
• NPC sims invade home to drink water (again)
• Sims enter locked apartments/houses (1.76)
• Non-Keyholders enter home while keyholders do not (No ask to leave)
• NPC coming in my house/getting water on every holiday
• Roommates from other apartment enter without permission

There was also a newer one where the no ask to leave wasn't present that I can't find currently.

@nickinbigd  I can't help you with the San Myshuno one, but for the Sulani one I immediately thought of these two threads (which to my mind are the same bug):

The TL;DR on those seems to be that if you have a tiny house or a haunted house in Evergreen Harbor or Sulani, you should set it to be a tiny house or a haunted house after the welcome wagon event or Sims will spawn on your lot daily at Welcome Wagon time, invade your home, and use all your stuff.

Are you playing in a tiny house or haunted house in Sulani?

No I’m not 

I did not find many of those but again I was looking specifically at my Sulani situation, so the not on point Kava thread was the one I found. The entering time drink water thread seems similar to my San Myshuno vendors entering to go to the bathroom. 

feel free to move my post elsewhere if they present a problem on their own. 

seems like this unwanted visitor problem crops up in many circumstances and has yet to be resolved definitively.

I haven't played the game in a while because I was dinking around with Sims 3 -- but I'm assuming this started with a new patch or glitch with delivery express?

Yes!! I'm having that issue, too. More specifically, when it started last year, it was in Sulani. Sims would come in the middle of the night while my Sims slept, get a class of water from the kitchen sink and sit on the floor to drink it. This happened way more than 10 times. I do get a couple who just come in while living in other worlds, not necessarily to drink water but they do poke around, but definitely nowhere NEAR as much as it happens in Sulani. In one world, the mail carrier would deliver the mail while my Sim was at work and walk inside the house immediately after interacting with the mailbox. And it slowed down the fast-forward and I hate to wait extra long for my Sim to return home.

ALSO, there is no "Send Home" option. I have to do an introduction first and even then, "Send Home" and "Send Everyone Home" don't always show up and neither does "Ask to Leave." I have to add the unwanted Sim to a group, walk them outside using "Go Here Together," disband the group then go inside and lock the door.
