This! I haven't done it in a long long time and im not gonna do this again. It's unbeliveable but buying at release has disadvantages.

There really is no point in doing it unless you really want the pack... it's better to wait one or two months, maybe even wait for a sale so you can read what the pack is doing to your game and you can decide if you want to deal with it... or at least wait until modders can add some solutions...

so apparently you cannot really turn off N.A.P.s in the game....I wanted to get this expansion pack but I do not want ballooning inventories in various homes that I don't play...makes me wonder if all the items being "stolen" don't end up in your neighbors inventories..this could be a issue not only from a game play point but in lag or how playable your game becomes over time. could someone please let me know if this is what is happening?

I would only recommend this pack if you get some of Zero's and Simvasion's mods. Otherwise your sims inventories will be full of future cubes and clay and sims will destroy your community lots because they will steal furniture which is needed for the lot.

You can turn off NPC voting so they won't vote. And if none of the sims vote, no action plan should be enacted (even when the notification says one was).

Thanks Egon.....so for those who have the eco living expansion pack is this how it works then...turn off N.A.Ps and then no worries about the inventories of neighborhood folks filling up with objects?

I turned off NAPs and still had the same issues. What pretty much works for me is using a cheat to choose the NAPs for each neighborhood, and selecting the four NAPs that bother me least. When I don’t choose four, even though I have townie voting turned off, extra NAPs still get chosen for me by the game. I think the NAPs still get changed by the game occasionally, even with cheats and voting turned off and four NAPs selected, but much less often.

Reading all of these comments I'm soooooooo happy I haven't bought this expansion pack yet.

I even crossed the Foodies Unite off my list because I knew I would end up with grossly obese Sims, but I didn't expect it to be as bad as it turned out to be - apparently Sims come into your home and bake cakes...and bake cakes...and bake cakes...

Is THAT what it is? I was wondering what the hell happened to the usually lean Björn Bjergsen...He must be stuck in a Cake Loop.

They only bake them, they don't eat them. Sometimes they don't even bake them. He and his Mrs. are always hanging around the pizzeria and festival food stands in my game. I think white cake issue is just a convenient excuse in his case.

Yeah, people have been saying that they have to clean up the mess left behind by Sims helping themselves to their kitchen facilities.

I had a Sim with the Foodie trait that would raid the fridge for leftovers even when the hunger bar was full - and that was pre-patch. I can only imagine the over-indulgence using this NAP where they constantly cook/bake. I...am...staying away...from...that one!

This sounds like a Foodie Apocalypse. Man I’m grateful they haven’t invaded my sim’s kitchen yet *knock on wood* but they certainly have been putting on those pounds somewhere, somehow...

Same. Its gotten to a point where I literally have rules to go through before I even decided to buy a pack.

Never preorder a pack.

Never buy a pack on launch.

Wait a few months to see what bugs the new pack causes.

Wait another month before said bugs are fixed to see if they really have been fixed or if they caused other bugs.

Then once it gets the all clear, and if I still want to get it after all that, wait for a sale.

I usually never make it to rule five. After all that I just don't want it anymore.

What I would really like to know though is who pays for the white cake? If it's my sims' fridge, their ingredients, do they pay for all the white cakes their guests make? Even Santa couldn't help himself and made a white cake for my sims when he came to visit.

Cakes, clay, cubes and constant brewing of something on the grill should stop
