ECO Living; Sharing and Caring is extremely bad for this game.

I'm sure there's been plenty of threads like this and I'm a lazy so and so for not finding them, but I wanted to say my peace. The N.A.P sharing is caring is perhaps one of the worst design choice me...

@Ayanko , @OhMyGodItsMegan , @Trecie , @RandomBuzziness , this should now be better since the most recent patch was just released that should lessen the amount of stealing. 🙌

It hasn't. I've just had 2 Sims walk into my current Sims house and steal several items. This NAP is among the worst things they could have added to the game and it seems like its the number 1 thing NPCs vote for, and yes like someone said, it totally breaks the mindset of Sims I enjoy when I invite them over and watch them steal many items from my house.

I've yet to see anyone talk about this NAP without it being complained about so in all honesty this NAP should be removed. Already spoken to many players on other forums who resort to Mods to get rid of it or using in game codes to cheat it away. When players are going out of their way to remove something, usually means it needs to be fixed ASAP or removed entirely.

@JWWeise I don't mind so much the idea of it. It actually sounds interesting, but the implementation of it went WAY too far. When sims are stealing everything not nailed down and it's completely breaking commercial lots, it's more of a nuisance than anything.

Maybe if they implemented some way to block sims from stealing from certain places? A trigger object? Like a warning sign: No Stealing. Place it on a commercial or residential lot, and it'll stop all stealing. That way we can control it.

And if it isn't placed, the stealing is limited to minor decor objects only, like plants, pictures, maybe even rugs under a certain value... I wouldn't mind it so much then.

@JWWeise , thank you for the update! 😇 Although, I don't know if this means that this hasn't been fixed, or if it means that it has but that it just affects new Sims after the patch (and not ones already affected by the old bug).🤔 🤨 It could be either way! 🤔

  @PugLove888 I am about to test it this weekend. I hope the patch will be sufficient to down tone the amount of 'sharing an caring'. 😉
  I also hope that the random activities my Sims seem to engage in, like brewing antistress potions and mixing cakes will have disappeared after this patchupdate

    @Trismagistos , hopefully this also is fixed! 🤞 It might not disappear, since I think some of these activities were intended, just not the amount that Sims are actually doing them now.😉 I think the amount of times Sims engage in these activities was overkill! 😞 I'm sure many will want to hear your testing reports! 😉
