Question for anyone who plays a home in Brindleton Bay

I have a sim living in Bedlington Boathouse and get no visitors there. However, sims (humans, cats and dogs alike) spawn a lot at the beach, the fishing spots, the the nearby picnic tables and so on. Just not around my house, which is fine with me.

My sim leaves the lot often to travel to other areas. Maybe that's why. Try going through a loading screen and see if that refreshes your neighborhood and walkbys!
