I recently bought Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape and more recently Paranormal stuff but I'm only just getting around to playing with the world that came with Eco Lifestyle and wondered if this was a bug or a feature? My Sim's neighbours keep turning up and letting themselves in without knocking. They don't have a key. I thought the new no tresspassing option on the door was to stop them knocking in the first place but if you allow visitors then they should knock and wait before coming in or am I misunderstanding this feature? Is it because it's a haunted residential lot instead of a standard one? It's getting really annoying when my Sim is eating breakfast and a lady who he has barely spoken to just walks in and makes herself comfortable and I can't seem to ask her to leave. I'm making my Sim scream incoherently at them because it's cathartic at this point. XD

I’m getting this too, it’s an ongoing bug I think. I have all of those packs too, so I’m not sure if it relates to any of them specifically. I keep having neighbors barge in to get drinks of water, and they leave them all over my house. I’m playing in the Snowy escape world, and they keep making snowpals everywhere, and snow angels in my fenced in yard. I have a mod that makes them leave immediately, which I’ve been using because the “send home” option isn’t showing on them for me either.

I think I can narrow it down to either Paranormal or Snowy Escape (more precisely, the world Mt. Komorebi) being the cause. I bought Paranormal on Sunday and have been playing with two families since, one in Newcrest and one in Mt. Komorebi. The latter constantly had people coming in uninvited, including the postman who, after doing his thing with my mailbox, would always come in through the front door, leave through the back door and carry on from there. But since yesterday was the first time I played with a family living in Mt. Komorebi, I can't tell if that's normal for that world or caused by Paranormal somehow.As for NPCs excessively making snowpals and snow angels on or near my family's lot, I've seen that, too, but only in Mt. Komorebi. Then again, it wasn't winter when I played with the family in Newcrest, so I'm not entirely sure. But I've had Eco Lifestyle for about half a year and never experienced anything like that before yesterday, and there aren't any NAPs active in the neighbourhood that would encourage such behaviour, so I don't think it's related to that pack.

It's funny because I have the problem in Sulani, only people swim up to my sims' deck, climb out, walk through the house and out the front door, annoying, but kinda funny too. :D Sulani is the only place it happens though.

This is getting extreme in my game. One household in San Myshuno had a sudden stream of sims break in uninvited, all were strangers who my sims never met and yet they had the audacity to go upstairs even. Is it like a city thing? XD This never happened this way before. Something similar happened to another sim in another hood but the intruding sims stayed outside at least. It is getting very annoying, any suggestions to stop it if it is not a bug?

I’m using a wonderful mod that allows you to force any Sim to leave almost immediately. I especially need to use it when I do things like changing university housing to regular residential. Students keep wandering in, but they are shunned! :)

Hm. I don't have the paranormal pack yet, but further I own every pack mentioned.

I got this while playing in San Myshuno, neighbours keep coming in, without even knowing my sim.

Click on the door. There are options for blocking Vampires, Neighbors, Solicitors (aka Welcome Wagon etc) and more.

Neighbours breaking in has been a problem for a while.I honestly believe Etiquette should be a real skill in the sims. Or at least be able to call the police because somebody broke into our homes in the game.

I thought it had been fixed a while ago but I guess not. I noticed it in Newcrest and Windenburg. My family's just going about their business and then suddenly I'm like "Who are you?" and next thing I know this random townie is dancing to the stereo or watching TV.

I'm having this as well...it's really annoying, random neighbor sims will autonomously get in queue to talk to my sim and enter the house right away without knocking and getting permission and no, I'm not playing in Sulani lately.

For anyone experiencing this issue, I've recently discovered a mod that helps solve the problem... LittleMsSam's "Force to Leave"

It is a small mod that adds a "Force to Leave" option to all of the doors in the house. If some random stranger shows up and makes themselves at home, just click the option on the door and a window opens with all sims on/nearby the lot and you can select which ones you want to force off the lot. I am not one for mods in my game, but this one is a life saver and while it doesn't stop the annoying neighbours from appearing, it gets rid of them quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend it.

Just select the No Trespassing option on the front door. It can keep Neighbors, Solicitors, Vampires & even Friends from entering your sim's home. It's in the Sims 4 game, you don't need a mod.
