@EnkiSchmidt I don't know. It's one of the many cases in the game where they use general filters. While it's weird, I can also see their side/reasoning for it - it reduces the number of sims/resources if the game can re-use existing sims/resources instead of generating new sims to fit the event.
E.g. if you clear out a neighbourhood and move in a single sim, then you won't have any neighbours. Does the game just never trigger the event or does it trigger the event and then generate new sims to allow it to happen?
I would guess that it's their design choice, but I'll leave it to Crin to decide if it should progress as a bug report or be left open as feedback for change.
If you're open to using mods, I think Zero (of Zero's Sims 4 Mods) has a few that change some events so that the game only uses actual neighbours and make more sense. Mostly for sims hanging around at community voting boards, I don't know if there's one for these Good Neighbour/I have a gift for you events.
