Get Out Of My House!

Get Famous is probably the expansion pack I was most looking forward to, next to Vampires. I haven't played it much but I've already run across an issue that's seriously annoying me. Random sims, some that my sims aren't even that close with, come over and say "hey, let's catch up" then proceed to walk into my house like they own the place. They do not wait to be invited in, they just show up and walk in without consent. I've switched lot traits to private, the celebrity one gives them the poser debuff which is fine, they're only one star celebs but seriously, how can sims just walk in another sims house? It's even more annoying because I can't just delete/destroy objects them with cheats. I tell them to leave, they don't. I'm about to start introducing sims that walk into my house uninvited to the Grim Reaper.

  • I had a few sims come into my sim’s house without being greeted or invited in, even when my sim invited them in myself. Once my sim got to two stars, they were all like, “wow, you’re famous now” and etc then they barge inside but this happened about once or twice for me only and my sim was already friends with them. I can imagine and understand it being annoying the more it happens though.
  • My Sims' fiancée walks into his house and says "let's catch up". They were out on a date the evening before, and that's when they got engaged. :open_mouth: I think it's one of those happy glitches. The next time he saw her, things were good between them. Whereas before, it implied they had a problem. Either that, or that's how I interpreted the actions. LOL

    On the flip-side, his next younger brother is the Notable Newcomer. I have yet to notice anybody following him to the family home. What's up with that? Erik is the looker, the one with the voice and the one who can charm the spots off of a leopard.
  • My sims husband Don Lothario, a level 10 in fitness chases away anyone that wanders in...he chased her stan away and she hasn't come back.

    My main problem was they wouldn't leave after being told to leave. The sim would just stand there for a while then go on and do some other stuff in the house. I just travelled somewhere and left them there then travelled back home. Now the gates are locked so people show up but just stand outside.

    I think it happens at random. My sim met a new coworker, that happened to be a 4 star celeb while she herself was only a 2, and said coworker pops up saying "let's catch up" like they'd been best buddies since way back when. She didn't get past the gate...

    That started in city living for me. Just lock your doors and it shouldn't be an issue


    I remember it happening in City Living but it got fixed for me and I stopped worrying about it since adding the privacy trait kept random sims from popping up. Even without it I didn't have random sims popping up and walking through my house. That trait no longer works, or at least it doesn't keep this particular issue from happening. Locking doors does work but they still loiter on the property. I wonder if the celeb trait keeps people from showing up.
  • @ems0309 Has the right idea; just lock your doors and set them to "lock the door for everyone but household members". Only problem being is if you ever want to invite anyone to your house you'll have to always unlock it and that would get pretty annoying.

    Just restrict who can enter the house individually!
  • This happened to me today once my sim married Thorn Bailey and moved into his house. She’s swimming in the pool and a uncle who she never met before comes barging right through the house to talk to her at the pool. Usually I have my doors locked for household members only. It doesn’t affect the service npcs like the maid or people I invite inside my house :)
