[FIXED] [ECO] NPC Autonomy commodities incorrectly being saved on Sims

There's several options to get rid of them, depending on whether you want to use mods or not.

1. Google Simvasions mods to fix ECO autonomy. Those should help permanently.
2. Add TwistedMexis AllCheats mod to your game and remove the commodities from the affected Sims. You can do this on each Sim (just enter the cheat when the Sim is active) when you switch active Sims.
   stats.remove_stat commodity_civic_Policy_Effect_NPCAutonomy_<Name of the NAP>
   Possible Values for Name of NAP: JuicedCommunity, TechnologicalProgress, HomeCooking, .. (would need to look up the rest)
   
3. Use the method described in the first post. Basically have a lot that has the offending NAPs and invite Sims over and make sure they leave the lot before you switch back households. That should also get rid of them

Unfortunately, I haven't found any efficient method to get rid of them and it's only worth doing to families you play at the time as it's a only temporary unless you use Simvasions mods.

It might help to make sure that all Sims leave a lot before you switch households but as it also affects random walkbys, that might be difficult to do

If the offending NAPs are repealed (in all neighbourhoods; and NPC voting is turned off), then Sims won't get re-infected.  It's only a problem to leave the NAPs in place (unfortunately, 12 of the 19 NAPs are "offending"):

• Juiced Community (Bartending) "JuicedCommunity"
• Back to the Old Days (Reading Mystery Novels) "OldDays"
• Rock Your Body (and Mind) (Pushups, Stretching) "SelfCare"
• Support the Performing Arts! (Playing Instruments (phantom guitar/violin), Practice Acting?) "MusicArts"
• Tech Support (Practice Programming, Replicator Future Cubes) "TechnologicalProgress"
• Promote Creative Arts (Painting, Using Tablet, Taking Selfies, Tribbles of Clay) "CreativeArts "
• Foodies Unite! (Baking cakes. So many cakes, Drinking milk?, Also peas? (when the stove is stolen, er, "Cared for")) "HomeCooking"
• Self-Sufficiency (Gardening (visitors harvesting crops), Herbalism (De-stressing Concoctions)) "SelfSufficient"
• Fun-Loving Community (Fake Bad News (and other mischief)) "FunCommunity"
• Free Love (Flirting/Romance) "FreeLove"
• Roughhousing Encouraged (Fighting) "Aggression"
• Sharing is Caring (Swiping everything including the kitchen sink) "CommunalOwnership"

Repealing the NAP while the affected Sims are on the lot as NPCs also clears them - this can be done with regular cheats (no mods required).  If I had to do this again, I'd use it as an excuse to have parties - invite over as many Sims as you can handle, pause the game, and cheat enact/repeal any NAPs they're infected with..

• testingcheats enable
• shift-click the mailbox
• "Instant Repeal Neighborhood Action Plan (Cheat)..." (Enact it first if necessary)

There are usually few, if any, walkbys in the middle of the night, so always switching households then would be safer, although not guaranteed.

Basemental has made a mod with which you can remove all the stuck commodities with one convenient cheat. I know it's a mod but it's a mod you don't have to keep in. Plop it in, remove the commodities, take it out (I know, sorry console players)

• Download the mod, unzip and put in your mods folder
• Make sure that ScriptMods are enabled in your game options
• Backup your saves
• Start the affected save game
• Open the Cheat Console with Ctrl-Shift-C
• Type: fix_stuck_naps
• Close the cheat console with Ctrl-Shift-C
• Save your game
• Close the game
• Remove the mod.

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to link the mod itself but it's now up on ModTheSims. Search for  Basemental Stuck N.A.P's Fix there

The mod doesn't prevent it from happening again if you play rotationally so try the suggestions in this thread on how to prevent it from happening again but it DOES fix all existing saves that still have stuck commodities from the old bug.

Hi there, i also have most of the bugs. I own all the packs. I play with mods carefully(i always download from specific artists). Also, I always do research before downloading. Anw, my game is unplayable. NPC stealing with or without NAP and without having the klepto trait. And whenever my sim travels to another house my sim also swipes things and then find them in household inventory. All of them are playing instruments.Clay spawning all the time and using a black notebook every single time. Random trash piles in inventory. I unchecked everything eco related. I must have all the bugs and even more that might not even be mentioned here. I dont know, since I stopped playing when all these bugs that i mentioned occured. I cant play the game until there is a fix. Like i said, its unplayable. I wont use any of the mods that go around cause as i noticed they dont work 100% and they might cause more issues. I just want to play thats all.
