    Residents of Henford-on-Bagley will less often mention how local residents are in need of help.

I have the same issues with my new vanilla save game.

I have this save played for 2 Sims-Week (1Week Rotation-Play) Now with my new Sim where live in Mt.Komorebi my pin-wall get spam with this stupid massage. The message comes to 50% if I use deep conversation, get to know, ask day, or ask career.

This played sim never visit Hanford, but my other sim had to visit Henford for his detective career and since then I have this message.

Bienchen has a mod who stop this nonsense(CottageLiving->lesshenfordtextspam), but really one message for a played family is more as enough. (Or maybe the team want to use the Toddler/Kid effect; *Mom, Mom, MOOOOM the villagers in Henford…* repeat 10x *Dad, Dad, DAAAAD, the Villager in Henford…* repeat 10x)

@daikoyu it seems to be like an intro to Cottage Living kinda thing. I triggered it on moving a family into Henford, but then when I switched households, there's a random chance for any conversation with anyone to trigger a reminder that sims in Henford need help with errands.

It eventually stops if you listen to what they say and just go to Henford and do an errand - I think I did the Welcome to Henford errand for the mayor and that "completes" this soft tutorial mode and now it's never happened again since on any other household.

I think it's intended behaviour - like it doesn't matter which sim triggers it or if your current played sim hasn't ever been to Henford, once you trigger this "soft tutorial" it will keep nagging you until you complete it.

    Then is this an awful design, again.

    In my other save I had this nagging although I complete the *tutorial*errand with another played household. I had to use bienchen mod to stop this nagging there(but it was less).

    So, the workaround in vanilla is just don’t go to Henford and when then doo this errand to stop it for your played sim. I really love quest design wo nag you. It’s the best design ever, almost as great as pop up advertising without addblocker.
