When the Welcome Wagon Becomes Unwelcome

I started a brand new game save this morning. (Actually, I started working toward that end yesterday, creating one of the two families needed and finishing the farmstead for one family.) I moved in the Hawkins, to their Hawkins Complex. Of course, not long later the Welcome Wagon shows up. Do they come to the front door? Not really, I had the pop-up long before I located them. Turns out they were standing in the doorway of the greenhouse. No worries, one of them was from my other family. Since these two families were good friends, I took a moment to use MCCC to create a relationship between Sarah and Joannah, Joseph and Joannah, and Sarah Jane and Joannah.

However, one of the male Sims who came along took it upon themselves to light the fireplaces both downstairs and then upstairs! My Sim, Joseph, had just ordered the upgrade parts. I learned the hard way a few years ago to always, always, always upgrade to firesafe. I got at least five of the fireplaces (the house is HUGE) queued up. Then the perpetrator of this misdeed, went around and finished lighting the rest of the upstairs fireplaces. Just who does he think he is? I am about to kick them out.

Please share the ungracious treatment/behavior your Sims have had endured under the guise of the Welcome Wagon — from alleged friendly neighbors. With 'friends' like these who needs enemies, right? :open_mouth:
