    I don't know which ones are the best. But the worst is Sharing is Caring. It's so spammed where Sims just come in and can literally swipe anything....even high value items. But your Sim can't hardly take anything. I think I'd like it more if it were more balanced.

    The rest are just annoying....my Sim can be in a middle of a conversation with another Sim....& the other Sim all of a sudden starts doing push-ups and exercising for that NAP for Exercising. & I'm like screaming at my computer....'um, will you stop exercising, I'm trying to talk to you'.

    I just tried Free Love, which I haven't seen what does yet. Back in the Old Days might be cool too....not sure. So many I haven't tried. I try to stick to basic ones like Gardening or Upcycling.
  • The arts and music one is super annoying. My sims who don't have any music ability and don't own instruments will whip a violin out of no where and start playing.

    What?!?

    This annoys me too. I like it fine for the townies. The background sims can do what they like and I think the NAPS could make that a little more interesting.

    I don't much care for when the sim I'm in control of does it. I thought for them it would work more like a background boost to those skills when YOU choose to do them. Although, that said, I don't recall now if I've actually seen my own sim do it since the latest patch, it might have been fixed or at the very least, toned down.
  • The only ones I like are the green initiatives and modern development for the Evergreen Harbor neighborhoods. All others are a huge disappointment, I don't like how they take over sims actions to do the NAP behaviors instead. They're over the top, mess up my gameplay, and usually don't make sense (like my programmer suddenly playing a violin he doesn't own). Caring is Sharing is even worse. I hate how it destroys community lots and I'd have to constantly edit them to replace stolen objects. Except for Green Initiatives and Modern Development, all other NAPs are banned in my game. The feature needs a COMPLETE overhaul.

    I haven’t experimented at all with them since my main save works fine and I don’t want to jinx it.

    In theory I would like to be able to travel with my main sim into another neighborhood where the fighting N.A.P. is active. Having that as a industrial “dangerous” area.
  • Sharing is caring has to be the worst, it got enacted in the neighborhood where my sims restaurant was and it completely broke it.

    Guests weren't sitting at tables anymore they were just getting up every five seconds and taking stuff, then after they take stuff it glitched up and they weren't marked as guests anymore. They took most of the chairs and tables, all of the bar stools, half of the dividers, a piano, everything was just disappearing.

    I had to go into settings, turn NAPs off and then move a sim into that neighborhood so I could turn sharing is caring off because for some reason you can only change them in your own neighborhood
