Can we talk about the Roughhousing Encouraged NAP?

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.

    I like the idea of the NAPs and I don’t mind most of them. The one that irritates me the most is the the one where other sims steal your stuff. I forgot to lock the doors when my sim started a yard sale and the next morning my freaking house was empty. They stole the chairs, the couch, the lamps ... if it wasn’t nailed down they took it.

    I can understand throwing some intentionally terrible NAPs into the mix to raise the stakes come voting time and give players real motivation to collect and use influence...but where are the desirable NAPs? It sort of feels like this pack is all punishment and no reward.

    I'm dissapointed I believe NAPs were meant to make the neighborhood feel more alive and like other sims are engaging in something besides walking and talking. But it just turned out to be spam. I keep it off.

    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.

    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.


    I really like this!!

    Great way to get my sims go from riches to rags. Thank you.

    Other times I have had to cheat money away from my sims but this way the game can do it for me.

    There are several N.A.P.s I would like to use I just don’t want my sims to be bugged afterwards.

    Hope it can get de-bugged so that I dare to use roughhousing and Sharing is Caring in my saves.

    Roughhousing encouraged is one of the rare NAPs that actually don't bother me. The fights don't happen all the time in my game. I only have NAPs active on two saves, though.

    Uncheck letting NPCs vote on NAPs in the Eco Lifestyles section of your gameplay settings, turn testing cheats on, right click your mailbox and instantly repeal any and all NAPs you don’t want.

    To be honest this one hasn't affected my game as much as the others, I just have issues with constant clay playing in every single neighborhood even after I specifically disable it there and the white cake obsession.

    I haven't seen these ones affecting neighborhoods where they're not enacted, so I guess if you just disable it in the neighborhood where its an issue it should be gone.
