Do your sims friends visit them?

Family members and friends living in the same world as my Sim stop by quite often, like twice per Sim week. If friends and family members live in a different world in the same save, they generally drop by less often and I see them every two Sim weeks unless they are invited. Random drop-ins are quickly asked to leave or ignored. The random Sims popping up out of nowhere seems to have increased after Island Living, and I don't like it. The 'friendly neighbor' feature where they run over if there is a fire on the active lot, drop by with food, or just want to say hello has become a problem in the other worlds in my saves. Outside of Sulani these random Sims are not Islanders, nor has my Sim interacted with any of them. It was supposedly a new feature that was meant to be part of the experience of living on Sulani. In my game it has bled over into all the other worlds as well.
