Biological Parents Showing Up Uninvited

To cut to the chase, my Sim is with Arun Bheeda and they raise baby Bheeda (as well as expecting their child!), however, Jesminder Bheeda, the ex-wife and bitter babymomma, just pops in our home whenever and stay however long she pleases, despite her low relationship with Arun and my other Sim.

She doesn't even knock anymore. She just waltzes right in, even if the door is locked. I also cannot ask her leave because it's not an option. I've been wanting to experiment with a complicated, non cookie cutter family, but if it's intentional, I don't think biological parents should have automatic access to the guardian household just because their child lives with another Sim.

While yes, Arun, my Sim, and Jesminder coparent excellently, I just think it's bizarre she can show whenever she wants just because she's the biological mommy.

I've also tried this with my "Jane the Virgin" family I created, with that non cookie cutter family, and the biological papa, Rafael, showed up uninvited whenever despite baby Mateo living primarily with Jane and Michael.
  • My Sim's ex husband comes around every once in a while, though it is pretty rare. He came over last night in the middle of the night and I worked in it the story to pretend he planned to take the toddler. Maybe my sim has security cameras and she saw the whole incident the next morning.
