NPCs stealing plants/garden harvestables

This has been ongoing for a bit now and has happened with ghosts, Patchy, random NPCs and houseguests.  I have autonomous gardening turned off - yet they'll come over and harvest any plants they can get access to.   If I add them to household, sure enough - the plants will be in their inventory.   

Here's the creature keeper caught red handed!

    I do own the pack.  Only Juiced Community / Power Conservation / Water Conservation active.

    Hi ElliAntics​ 

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    I've experienced this too. I just lock the greenhouse door or fence gate for everyone but me.

    Hi ElliAntics​ 

    I checked both your save. One had the Self-Sufficient NAP which will totally do what you're seeing and for the other it was currently being voted for (but not active). Maybe it was there in the past when you saw the issue ?

    The share everything one makes a lot of sense for thievery to happen,  but self sufficiency not so much.  And with ghosts doing it?  Locking them out does nothing - there's literally no way to stop them from stealing crops other than cheating off the NAP.  It's a fun NAPotherwise, but that basically kills the whole point of "let me be self sufficient.. except someone else is stealing all of the things I'd need to actually be so..."

    it happends a lot to me - i have locked the gates to my simmers family garden, yet strangers walk in  slide on their water slide and harvest their plants. Like it was some local park.
