Do you have Npc Nap's voting enabled or disabled?

I have it all disabled, the NAPs because it is just too much, and the other because of the white screen lag it causes.

I have it all disabled. I regret buying Echo Living, but still use some of the EL build and buy stuff.

Enabled. Once they get to four NAPs in a neighbourhood, then it's maxed out and there's no NPC repeal voting. So once you get the NAPs set up the way you want, then it stays the way you want.

@simvasion i don't think i understand... can i ask you to explain better? Sorry, im not an english speaker....

Disabled, waaaaaaay too broken for my liking.

Disabled it as soon as I found my sims restaurant being stripped bare by sharing is caring. Sadly I was too late as there's already NAPs enacted in every neighborhood and it would take forever to get rid of them all.

Wish there was an option to delete all NAPs from all neighborhoods in one click (the existing feature only stops new ones being added it doesn't turn them off) but alas. Also very painful how you can only change them in the neighborhood your sim lives in, you can't even cheat it without living in that neighborhood for some unknown reason.

Disabled, but I was going to do this bugs or not. I like to control the world, not let the little pixels have their RNG choices. Seriously, though, I understand that it was pushed as a selling point to make neighbors feel more alive and I do like what I can do with NAPs, but asking a Sim doll that I have not bothered to imagine a personality for if I can do A or B offends my inner control freak. I appreciate the option and the realistic story telling it can do, but I doubt I would ever use it anyway.

NAPs on the other hand can be fun themselves. They do need fixing, though, since all my uncontrolled Sims talk about fishing when they have no skill and have never fished a day in their lives.

I read in the game settings that Echo isnt supposed to effect Strangeville, yet someone or someones were constanly stealing things from the library, I was constantly hvaing to replace the chess table, computers, sofa and book cases. even after I changed one of the traits from Conviniel to study spot. I hadnt realised Conviniel also means a good place to get up to mischief, but they were still stealing after I changed it. My alien sim did a mind probe on the sim I thought was doing it but he isnt a thief. anyway I turned NAPs off to vote. also My sims can still vote via the letter box even though they live in Strangeville, so I wonder what area there supposed to be voting for??? and shaing and caring wasn't one of the ones chosen. this echo is too glitchy.

Tbh, I did not even noticed this was an option lol. I should disable this, I hate it that in every saved game I end up with "sharing is caring". Whenever a Sim tries to come by my place, I feel like I should kick them out before they start stealing.

I like the idea of my sims not being able to call ALL the shots despite being CEOs, High Judges and world-renowned professional basketball players. Sadly with how easy it is to accumulate votes the npc do not stand a chance, not even when my played sims vote for different NAPs.

I play by a houserule, though: Whenever my sims manage to repeal a NAP, I cheat that one away immediately, without waiting for the voting period to end.
