Neighbors Outside All the time

Question

I moved into the Old Salt House. Once all 5 sims walked into the building I locked the gate. Turned off freewill and went on with my occult gameplay testing. While I was going about my game the Neighbors spawned but did not do anything. They just stood around while one of them had a fruit cake. After a long while they started to stink and then pass out. Then they got up one by one and left over time. Then at a later time at least one came back.

My assumption is that the act of locking the gate threw them off. I felt inclined to share this occurrence of events.

I own and have installed the packs:

Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Seasons, Get Famous, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living, Growing Together, Life and Death, Enhanced By Nature
Outdoor Retreat, Vampires, Parenthood, Werewolves, Dine Out
Perfect Patio, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Kids Room, Backyard, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Tiny Living, Paranormal, Home Chef Hustle
Bust The Dust, Blooming Rooms, Desert Luxe, Poolside Splash, Modern Luxe
Holiday Celebration, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar
I have finished all the recent Events and unlocked those items as well

No mods have ever been installed on this computer.

if you lock the gate, they can't come in. Do they come to the door if you unlock ?

Thats a fair question but I never unlocked it because I was doing other things. The neighbors in question were out of site and mind most of the time. Tho I understand they can't come in it looked like, until they had to, they could not do anything. Why not just go home?

As soon as I gave this person access to my front door they walked up, knocked, and started the Welcome Wagon. I guess we can say it's Neighbors not being able to start a "Welcome Wagon" that is an error /bug.

My Sims did not talk to them or do anything with the Wagon and it timed out. All of my Occult sims got the expected negative relationship.

What surprised me was that my only Regular sim in the house got a negative relationship with the man's wife too for some strange reason. These sims know no people and have been locked in the house since I started them out.
