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

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.
