    ● NPC Sims will no longer follow enacted policies in their home neighborhood if Sims travel to another neighborhood or world before the voting period ends.

    Fixed in Patch 1.65.70/ 1.29

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    I will leave all the threads listed in post 2 open for now to see how that goes.

    Your feedback there is appreciated.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.64.84.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Expansion Packs, Laundry Day, Spa Day, Parenthood, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Vampires, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Perfect Patio, Vintage Glamour
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play any household with the eco-living pack installed
What happens when the bug occurs? For some reason my sim keeps giving her girlfriend fake bad news, even with autonomy off, practicing programming and playing video games even with autonomy off, and future cubes keep spawning in my sims inventory - and I'm taking like forty future cubes.
What do you expect to see? This not to happen! No random future cubes, no out of character programming and no being mean to other sims. Relationship status is dropping fast.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Eco Living

For some reason my sim keeps giving her girlfriend fake bad news, even with autonomy off, practicing programming and playing video games even with autonomy off, and future cubes keep spawning in my sims inventory - and I'm taking like forty future cubes. I thought it was a hidden trait thing, so I got the info for the hidden traits and removed them - they no longer show up on my sims info. However, it keeps happening, and I don't know how to fix it. I think it has something to do with N.A.Ps, which I think is a really cool game mechanic, but not if it's buggy like this. Please help!

    N.A.P system is broken. How it made it to public release is unexplainable and unjustifiable, it was rushed and not tested. It breaks other packs as well. Try running a retail store or restaurant and watch your employees and customers make out with each other, then get into fights every half hour, then stand there playing with clay. I have yet to be this frustrated with a pack, one that truly disrupts and breaks gameplay not only of itself but other packs as well.

    I tried simvasions mods but it does unfortunately little in some cases, sims autonomy keeps misbehaving. 

    Best solution is if other neighborhoods in other worlds already have these silly ridiculous acts is to go to a house in that neighborhood, use testingcheats and shift click on the mailbox to instant repeal everything. Pair that with disabling N.A.P NPC voting in the settings. They should've allowed the cheat to work for non resident sims, it's tedious to have to go neighborhood by neighborhood. Or if you use MCCC use the Tuner to disable the autonomy actions you don't want.

    I wish I knew how to mod well enough to just completely disable the system. Beyond frustrated.

      I'm on PC, I have disabled Eco Lifestyle game play. Open origin - right click on Sims 4 icon - click game properties - click advanced launch options - type in the command argument  options 

        -disablepacks:EP09  (you need the hyphen before the command)  then save. Relaunch your game. The Eco Lifestyle is disabled. When EA have sorted out the problems Just remove the disable pack message. Relaunch game and Eco is enable again.

        On consoles the fix is quite simple: make a backup of your saved data, possibly on the Cloud (you never know...). Delete your game and redownload it all but Eco. It's some 25GB total.

        Once you load your game you will get a warning that some content is missing and your characters/lots could be missing clothes and items. Accept that and, magic, no more push ups, cakes, water, and all that stuff.

        Of course, if you were playing in that world and/or if you had plans with Bess... you need to reconsider.
