Britechester Home Invasions?
So I took the UBrite housing lot (the cottage near the dorms) and turned it into a residential lot for my professor Sim. Everything is fine (changed the lot to Residential, plopped a house down, all ...

@Braxien Yes, I have this same thing occasionally happen in a Foxbury uni housing lot that I converted into residential so my Sim could live there permanently. It's almost like the game takes a second or two after a loading screen (travel or CAS) to recognize it as a "residential" lot and just for an instant it will spawn NPC townie university students as living in the University Housing lot. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent it but the townies usually leave right away or I can shoo them out fairly easily.
I'm getting a few of the non-loading screen uninvited visits from townies as well. One time during a soccer game event I had a streaker run in the back door and straight out the front. I also get bots from the Bot Savant events just come into my house but they are A LOT more welcome than the streaker was! xD
- @RandomBuzziness LOL! Thanks for the reply, good to know it's not just me! Do you also notice that guests sometimes won't leave if invited in (as if they think they live there), *or* guests invited over just stand outside? May be unrelated to this bug, but I only seem to notice in my Britechester converted to residence lot, too.
Thanks for the info!@Braxien I don't think what you are seeing is uncommon for Britechester lots that have been converted from Uni Housing to Residential. The game seems reluctant to treat these residential lots the same way it does for lots in other worlds. I'm not 100% sure but it seems like most of my uninvited guests are part of some event occurring on campus, like student organization events, sports events, etc. The bots from the Bot Savant events will sometimes stay at my Sim's house for days at a time. That's the Foxbury campus though so it would be different than what you are seeing at UBrite.
As far as invited guests not seeming to want to leave, yeah I have seen that too. My young adult Sim's mom shows up for visits several times a week and sometimes stays until well after midnight until I banish her with MCCC mod commands ;-D The mom is an NPC since my Sim moved out of the family home to start Uni. I've never just let it play out to see how long she'd stay otherwise but I might try it the next time I play that save.
- @RandomBuzziness Yes, you are hitting on *exactly* what happens to me, too. Ah, well...guess it's just life on campus, eh? Too bad, as I like my house there, but those things are frustrating.
