It's like neigborhood brawl day from Seasons, except ALL. THE. TIME. My Sim goes to community lot, tries to talk to someone, a fight breaks out and they all stop to watch. My sim tries again to start a conversation, another fight breaks out so they all stop to watch. I give up and direct my sim to do something else. Another fight breaks out and they stop to watch. My sims bladder starts failing because they can't even get to the toilet without stopping to watch another fight, I start sobbing into my keyboard because I just wanted my Sim to have a nice time out and since they don't even live in the neighborhood there's nothing I can do about it. Am I doing something wrong? Because I don't get why this would be fun for anyone, it just makes the game frustating.

Who knows why EA thought it would be fun? Majority of the NAPS are NOT fun, they are a pain in the rear. Hence why I have disabled them and now play in heavenly bliss without any of them.Pretty pointless addition to the EP though.

Same here, as far as turning it completely off. Whatever NAP happens to be enacted at the time, it is like they all go overboard all the time in that activity.

My sims has cake mix all over the house, about 8 balls of clay and 5 future cubes in their inventory. Then during the Hijinks festival, sims are playing instruments here and there. Let's not talk about Sharing is Caring!! Can't even have proper venues.

Maybe they were trying to recreate a rough neighbourhood... i don't know. I have naps disabled too.

I think this is kinda sad. I like the basic idea of NAPs, the problem is that they all force certain activity on our sims. Instead, some - if not all - NAPs could focus more on local benefits (and costs) for sims living there. Like - in this hood all households get a tax discount while having kids in school, but the electricity costs a bit more. Or, in this hood all elders get a small pension, but lot tax is a bit higher. So, while one hood is great for families with students, another hood might be more popular among elders.If we HAVE TO form clay and play violins, I'd appreciate if it was toned down a bit, or only took place on certain lots or on certain weekdays. It gets too much having these things happen anywhere at any time.

Can we talk about the Roughhousing Encouraged NAP?

I've turned off the naps too in my current history game, but I plan to use this nap and sharing is caring to represent the war times. As far as I read, they sound perfect to this era.

I have this one active in San Myshuno Arts District, where my police station is. Fights break out regularly, but always far enough for my sims to not get pulled from their desks. Occasionally I send them out to make an arrest. It's fun, but admittedly very niche.

@Daravi
Strange as it sounds, I can recommend Sharing is caring for this purpose. Be aware that townies will pick your house clean, not just one or two objects. The Welcome Wagon took everything in the kitchen/living room and tha bathroom the first time I had this NAP. That's perfect to simulate plundering in more or less lawless times and encourages keeping the door shut & let no one in for added paranoia.

Yeaaah, I love the idea of the N.A.P.s, but the execution is flawed for sure. They should all occur much less frequently, then they'd probably be at least tolerable. ?

Or the NAP should be game changing features rather than poorly thought Policies:(
