@Eminik Maybe you game is really just Henry VIII in disguise.
@Meubanks Unfortunately the "stalker daddy" issue isn't a "guest" issue. There are no "greet sim" options either. It's as if the sim(s) in question has become a member of your household without actually becoming one so you have no control over them and they really do get in the way, especially when trying to care for the toddler or make time with a new baby daddy.
Also, I've seen a couple of other people note that the private lot trait does nothing to solve this issue. You can lock them out of the house, but then you can't have other sims over without them getting in and they still just hang out on the lot forever. It's definitely seems to me to be some faulty code somewhere in the Toddlers patch that will have to be fixed on the Dev end of things.
@Erica87 I don't actually use lot traits at all so as long as they are optional I don't have a problem with whatever is done with them. I also have no opinion regarding groups rules.
@SuzieSocks Thanks for the additional info. I misunderstood the scope of the problem. Have you tried leaving the lot in order to shake the unwelcome guest? That approach works in some similar glitches. If more extreme measures are necessary, maybe moving would help. Even if you return to the same lot, it might help in evicting the squatters.
Other possible workarounds.
1. temporarily play the stalker-daddy through manage households, for the sole purposes of making him leave.
2. Extreme Prejudice: use a kill cheat as a more permanent solution. lol. MCC lets you do it with one click, and I don't think they need to be an active household member. Normally I'd consider it cheating, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Alternatively, see if using in game cheats will allow you to deleted the sim. Fair warning that any of these might cause him to be culled from family trees, if that's something that you care about.
3. Move the Sim in and back out with manage household, if possible. If they live on a lot, make sure to use "sell furniture" so they don't bring their stuff, and then use money cheats to remove whatever money they brought. Temporary exception to the rules with the sole purpose of fixing a glitch, so IMO it's not really a violation as long as it doesn't create a benefit.
These are just suggestions, and I obviously haven't tested them in game, so no promises that they will work. Please keep us posted if you find a workaround so that other people can benefit. Sorry that people are having this issue.
