Well my story with Welcome Wagon goes way back to the 'fruitcake bug'(this has been fixed).
I downloaded a Sim from the gallery and started playing with him and he married one of my Sims and created a family. He had one strange quirk that drove me cookoo. He constantly made horrible faces when he ate no matter what quality of food it was. I thought maybe it was something to do with me downloading him from the Gallery as I had never done that before. (it was not due to this)
Disclaimer - The following has since been fixed. This was a few years ago.
Then it started happening with other Sims I created and did some investigating and it was from Welcome Wagon fruitcake. Oh boy! That Welcome Wagon was not feeding that to my Sims ever ever again. I do not run mods and really had to be quick to throw that fruitcake out or stop my Sims from eating it. It would immediately get dragged to trash can if possible. One problem was if you played rotational and your current Sim lived near another played family, I would have to swap back and forth and micro manage that wicked wicked gourmet atrocity. Everything was ok as long my Sim that brought the fruitcake didn't put it in their inventory. There was no way to get it out at the time, or at least I couldn't figure it out, other then re loading a previous save and play musical fruitcake again.
So this fruitcake and Welcome Wagon was not welcome at all and in fact dreaded in every new game. This still sticks with me to this day and although they did fix and patch the fruitcake bug, I am still fearful to have any Sim of mine eat it. A couple weeks ago I wasn't paying attention and my Sim ate the fruitcake when I wasn't looking and to my surprise, she liked it. So maybe through many Sim hours, I can get over my fear of this fruitcake, but the memory lives on lol.
One day I may grow to accept the fruitcake from Welcome Wagon but please please paws off my stuff! Now there is a fear these Welcome Wagon NPCs have the recycle trait. My Sims now do Welcome Wagon 'outside' the home', far away from any items that can be insta recycled by tense recycle NPCs. So now my Sims are practicing social distancing and now item distancing with any NPCs that are sketchy. This is a separate issue from NAPs which are disabled in my game.
