Clay and future cubes anyone?

For people who need goals to achieve to make the game more interesting. Dealing with all the NAPS that are bothersome is quite a project. I did turn off the NPC voting, because I couldn't handle that much randomized chaos in my game, but since I have made it a project to go from neighborhood to neighborhood and altering the NAPS to the ones that bother me the least or sometimes repealing all of them. That can be quite a lengthy process in itself. What I've found is that I'm playing households I've never played before and starting to get into their various hopes and dreams and it's really changed my gameplay.

This isn't completely great because I was having fun before I installed the pack. However, it's been both annoying and fun to deal with the mess and figure out how to get it all back on track. I'm pretty sure the team is probably going to patch this into a more reasonable type of gameplay but it hasn't broken the game at all for me. It has changed it, but with some plusses and minuses.

OMG is that what it is? What NAP is causing this?

I hope to never get the creative arts NAP I can’t stand that flopping clay.

Yeah, the constant playing with clay thing coming with the NAP is so annoying. My neighborhood is just full of people standing in the middle of the street playing with clay now. Why?!

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?

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 have this problem with a sim in Uni. The NAPs related to that are not even enabled in the Uni neighborhood. All there is in the Uni neighborhood is the water shut off and the sharing is caring NAP.

I'm not sure if the sims home neighborhood had the NAP enabled, but he has SO MANY CLAY in his inventory.

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.
