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...

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 , 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! 😉

    @PugLove888 I have tested it last weekend and I have also got some feedback from payers on the Dutch Sims forum.
    A lot of gamers still experience the same issues. The humps of clay and the future cubes still appear in the inventories. Some of the reactions are that the like to see the extra cash it generates but many are annoyed that Sims get strange or most of the time sad moods after asking questions to the future cube on public lots.
    The stealing still occurs even though there is no sharing and caring neighborhood action plan active. (I did not notice that, but other Simmers reflected that it still happens on the Dutch forum)
    Some of them (three that I know of) even switched off the Expansion Pack 'Eco Living' all together but still experience issues from the June 3rd update. Like the clay etc.
    So all in all, they tell me that it is still very difficult to play under these circumstances.
    I regard myself more like a terrier and still play on with all the issues I just mentioned. However, I have to say that unlike before June 2020, I find it harder and more difficult to control an eight Sim household.
    
    And I also see my sims wondering about to tend to the garden at any time they like. Stop their actions to start programming whenever they like.
