Paparrazi on Private Lot
There's not really a reason to bother with specs as this is a "bug" that is considered intentional. However, I find it extremely frustrating and unrealistic. I know you're gonna say this isn't a bug ...
In real life Paparazzi also often trespass on private ground.
I have to revisit this because it has not been addressed and still a truly annoying issue.

First, that is absolutely FALSE, ignoring what you see on TV in real life Paparazzi SOMETIMES but rarely trespass on private ground, (they use telescopic cameras and even that may not be legal places) because as others have said it is illegal and they can face tremendous consequences depending on how unforgiving the celebrity is, which would deter future Paparazzi from that particular celebrity. This is not an option in the Sims.
HOWEVER, IGNORING ALL THAT... Paparazzi certainly don't live in these people's homes like they are welcomed friends. if they even come on private property they're usually SNEAK to get pics, and certainly not every single day, maybe one or two days in a year
The problem is I can't lock the paparazzi out my property without locking out friends or acquaintances. There's no differentiator in the Sims so it's hard to lock the doors and if I don't...
The paparazzi come in to cook, to watch TV, to swim, use the bathroom.... that is ridiculous it's insane. There would be ways to stop this permanently in real life, it is literally burglary, not trespassing, with years in prison as the consequence, look up the law! THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE EVER, NOT ONCE EVER.
It's incredibly frustrating having no way to combat this especially on console with no mods
