Please remove the Get Famous catching up feature

I never had this issue before and have had Get Famous since the pack was released, but lately I keep getting random sims coming into my celebrity homes. As soon as they gain some level of fame, I get notifications from random sims saying they noticed my sim’s name has been all the buzz lately and they want to catch up. Then they barge right into the house without any invitation. Some of them are friends and some my sims have never even met. I’m not okay with either.

I’ve learned that this is by design, although I can’t understand why you would add something like this to the game when it is so problematic. It was a problem with City Living, so why add more uninvited sim features? Generally, simmers don’t like random sims popping into their homes uninvited. We can’t even lock the doors or use the private dwelling lot trait to keep them out. Nothing keeps these randoms from coming in.

If you want this in the game, at least make it a phone call with the option to decline the visit. I really hope you will consider this.

    It's less the barging in that bothers me, since I tend to elaborately lock my celebrity doors, and more the "Hi I am a BIG OL' USER and want to USE you now that you're FAMOUS!" tone.  On the one hand, this is probably realistic and by design.  On the other hand, sometimes this comes from, say, their children or siblings--people I headcanon as already having a legitimately close, non-user relationship with the famous Sim.
