Stealing

Yeah I don't like this N.A.P. My Sim invited her parents over to her new apartment and within minutes they were stealing her furniture. ?

You can always just re appeal that NAP so that it doesn't happen anymore.

You can also shift-click on the mailox and choose the option to immediately repeal a N.A.P. This is a Maxis/EA approved cheat :)

Sadly, this is a massive problem and I totally get why people are upset about it. Community lots are also being looted and left without key pieces and people put alot of time and effort into building. Rough housing is also another one that causes major problems because everyone stops to watch the fights.

Repealing and cheating is a good way forwards in your own neighbourhood. However, my sim lives in Evergreen Harbour. He visited a gym in Brindleton and people started swiping things. The next day, he visited his family home in Windenberg (amongst other chaos) a random stranger let themselves in and started taking their furniture.

Turns out both the Brindleton and Windenberg neighbourhoods had sharing is caring voted in. I can't right click on mailboxes or boards there to cheat because it says I don't live there (even cheating). I have to come out of my household, play a household in that neighbourhood, cheat, then come out and return to the household I want to play otherwise lots there become chaos.

so..

PLEASE HELP
-Does turning off the NPC vote stop voting in other neighbourhoods?
-Does turning it off apply to active households I'm not currently playing or just apply to townies and unplayed households?
-Is there any way to cheat and repeal NAPs in a neighbourhood my sim doesnt live in e.g using a mailbox or board there?

It's a nice pack and I like being able to vote and have others vote in MY neighbourhood. The problem is invasive NAPs are seriously damaging other neighbourhoods and I feel there is little I can do.

Now that I've had to rebuild the bar a few times, this is annoying. It could have been a lot of fun but when I want to build, I build. When I want to play, I play. This NAP forces you into building and fixing the lot. I don't feel like it should apply to community lots. When I first read the description, I never even assumed that it did. I realize this is how the game works, and I can cheat it off, and/or tell NPC's to stop voting but it kinda sucks I can't use a game feature that I do actually like because it's so over done. :/

This one time I wouldn't mind if they limited it to like 3 items stolen in a session or just not allowed on community lots at all (except for your sim). Normally I don't like them to nerf features but this is madness. I've turned it off for now.

I put in a repeal request today. I like my Sims to have guests over, but not when said guests are stealing the coffee table, the counters, and the heccin' computer. >:(

Also peeked in on another family today, and their entire living room had been stolen. Except for the fireplace.

Until it's repealed, all doors are locked against people outside of the household. I know sharing is caring, but stop stealing my stuff.

You could always send your sim to anouther sim's home, and take their stuff. "Sharing is caring!"

I wish... i wanted to loot my neighbours and i didnot have option to do this (ofc NAPs was on)

My town doesn't have the sharing is caring NAP activated and I don't have issues with others stealing, but I do have a problem with my sim stealing her own stuff. She has swiped herself clean. I have to babysit her to catch her. I play with moveobjects on and I set an object on her to make her error out if it. It's quite annoying. She doesn't have the Klepto trait. I would think it's funny if she was stealing the new stuff I bought her because she gets mad about that, but no, she is stealing her garbage finds. I have to keep spares in the bin. She even stole her garbage can ?

Is she having the Recycle Disciple trait? I heard that some sims need to recycle something regularly, or free will recycling will tick in. They are not stealing their own stuff, but grabbing it in order to recycle it. They stop doing this if you let the recycle stuff often. No idea how often though, but I assuming there is a buff warning you?

Game Options - Eco lifestyle. Disable it and ONLY your active household can vote. There is no reason to ever have a NAP active anywhere that you don't want.

The problem we have here is nobody reads the actual thread, they just read the title and then start griping. This is 100% within the player’s control as quoted above. If you untick that box you, and only you decide what N.A.P is in effect so you never have to have the sharing is caring nap again.

Keeping my eyes on my sims. I made it a player-only-choice and so far nothing has gotten stolen in my save.

For me this is working great so far ?

Hmm....

I hope players will use the toggles.

We spend a lot of time requesting toggles for different features. It makes it possible for players to tailor their game and the developers can add features that impact the game in different ways.

If toggles are added, but never used. Is the cost for adding them justified? I hope that we can be savvy enough to use toggles so that they keep on adding them.
