So, this happen in my game today, after my two sims arrived at the bar the same three sims who normally spawn in all the time showed up and started talking to them, my sim had already order drinks for him and his brother, but for some strange reason these three sims was added to the group and received the same drinks along with my sims as if they were in the group with them.

1. I don' have any CC's on this computer or installed CC's for this to happen.

2. I don't have Get Together installed on this computer.

What I have installed on this computer:

Toddler Stuff Pack

Movie Hangout Stuff Pack

Discover University

Parenthood

Throwback Fit Kit

These are new sims I just created them and the only sims they know is Julia Wright and Becca Clarke because they share a house with them, Becca and Julia were at work at the time

@LonaBoom Did they just share the conversation or did they get an actual group symbol above their heads ?

No symbol above their hands but they became part of the group.

@LonaBoom So you can choose go here together and all the Sims follow that command ?

Is this just about everyone getting the same drinks that makes them a group ?

Group conversations are normal as soon as Sims start chatting with each other so if that's what you mean by group, then that's not a bug.

Usually if they don't have a group symbol they are not a group you can do things together with.

@crinrict Thank you for replying and I do understand how the group work in the sims 4, these sims didn't have a symbol but all of them was in the group. I had to exit the game to stop the group gathering with them.

After my sims arrived at the bar, they weren't talking to anyone just standing there looking at each other until I had one of the sims from the household order a drink for them all and that's when the random sims standing near the bartender started sitting down receiving the same drink as my sims without ordering anything.

Just an updated @crinrict , I haven't had that same issue and I also deleted those three sims who seem to spawn at the same bar at the same time of my sims all the time. If it happens again, I'll come and post about the issue returning.

This has happened a couple of times when I have my sim travel. She is in University and I had her travel back to her parents' house. I did not choose to have anyone else travel with her. When she got there, some random sim she didn't even know (the dialogue options were to introduce herself) was with her.
This happened again when I had my sim go to ThriftTea. Random other townie was in her group and traveled with her. Did not have any relationship with my sim and had introduction dialogue options. I do have CC and a handful of mods installed, but I've never had this happen before.
Edit: Perhaps I was not specific enough. I choose to travel with no other sims when going to a location, but when I get there, there are other sims in my GROUP. I have the option to do things "together" with my "group" which was randomly formed. These sims have the group icon above their head, the little grey hexagon. I did not invite these randoms to the location. They are not townies doing their own thing, they are grouped with my sim.

It is normal for random sims to walk the streets, visit parks, public places and so on.
