white cake baking and a random sim coming over with suitcase for a 'stay'.

Question

At least they aren't strangers, but my family comes over and back to constantly baking white cakes. I even created these sims and specifically set them so that they are supposed to dislike baking. I removed my oven and replaced it with just a stovetop, but that limits what my sim can cook.

I also had a sim named Kyle that my sim homeowner had never met come to my door with a suitcase to stay. There was no notification where he even asked about coming by or staying over.

Didn't ask, and I don't have an option to tell him no. So, he's currently in my home. I think this sounds like a possible bug.

And I don't have any mods or custom content. And have all the packs.

@kannbrown65  1. Do you have the foodies NAP active ?2. No phone call ? Could it have been a call you've missed ?

1. I do have the foodies NAP. Is that always going to lead to people coming to my home and constantly baking cakes? Kinda a shame, it's an easy NAP, given that my sims generally cook dinner. I notice they also don't cook anything else. And I always used that NAP, but (other than in Mount Komerabi, where I didn't even need that NAP active), I never had that happen. But I can disable it, if it is causing that problem.

2. And no, there was no phone call, and it would've been weird to get one, since my sim never met Kyle. He wasn't even with the welcome wagon. The first time I saw him was when he walked into the house with his suitcase and set it down. Is there a way you can tell a visitor who is staying as a guest that it's time to leave? I don't have the 'send home' option, probably because he's a 'house guest'.

@kannbrown65 Yeah, it does. They still can't seem to do something else. There's a bug report on it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/ECO-Excessive-White-Cakes-NAP-Active/td-p/10052572 if you want to add your voice.

Kyle just shows up. I had it once without knowing him. It's just something he does. I do think he should be calling first though. How long has he been at your house ?

Someone online told me how to cancel visits by going into the calendar. Which was very handy. Odd to have someone who never met your sim just show up like that. Maybe they can tweak it so only friends and up can visit? But at least it's handled!

I'll add in my experience to the bug report, thanks.

@kannbrown65  Kyle is a bit special. Did you have any others come over ?
