Guys... Paolo Rocca is back :disappointed: This is really annoying. Sorry but no Paolo, you do not get to see your children, especially not if you behaved like a deadbeat dad for the whole time before the patch. Just because they're toddlers now does not mean you are allowed to turn up here without me even having the option to send you away. Stalker!
I swear I'm going to get a cowplant and feed him to it, I swear! Starting to really loose my patience with that sim.
Sorry for chiming into the middle of an ongoing discussion, but this thread has gotten so large that It's tough to get back to the original post. I have a little bit of input on the "stalker sims" issue, but not really any workarounds. The option to tell the sims to go away doesn't appear, because to the game , your sim is on the lot, while the other sim is in the neighborhood. Even if they are only separated by the door, unless you greet them first, they are in two different places as far as the game is concerned. The same is true while your sim is walking around the neighborhood. Even though you are standing right next to an object, if you aren't on the lot, you can't interact with it until you knock on the door.
Frankly, I don't think that interacting with prior "baby-daddies" really hurts anything in this challenge. They don't provide any financial help to the household, and the certainly won't do anything useful in raising the child. They are more likely to cramp your style when your sim is trying to meet new men, or to get in the way when you're trying to take care of a baby. So to me, greeting them, then telling them to leave should be an acceptable workaround within the rules. There is also a private lot trait that might help. I haven't tested it to see if it works, but it is supposed to stop, or at least reduce the number of random door knockers.
