Why do sims just keep walking into my house?!?!

Sims just keep walking into my sims house. Not knocking. Not invited. They just stroll in and get in my fridge and watch tv. They do NOT have a key.

This was one of the things I hated most about apartments, now we have to have it happening in houses, too?!

This is like the 4th time it's happening to one of my sims. And it's all been different sims coming in!!

I've only had it with the sim I gave a key to, but she also cleans the toilet and mops up puddles, so I don't mind. But she did get annoyed when my sim ignored her while playing the guitar for hours, lol

You can now get sims barging in if your sim starts leveling up in fame - they just send a message about how They Knew Your Sim When and then invite themselves over. It's annoying, which I think is the idea. However, if they're just walking in without that prerequisite and without a key, that seems buggy.

I like the idea of a sim being like "hey, we were friends before you were famous so we're cool, right?" and them showing up at the front door and knocking or texting my sim to go hang out. I just hate that you get that notification and then like 15 sim minutes later they're in your sim's house on the computer. I wish they would at least knock.

I know how annoying this can be lol. Just lock the door for only your sims household and they'll probably stop.

For the longest I had a random barista novel stand outside my Sims house every time I loaded up my game. It’s gone now but that’s the only thing that’s happened to me like this.

This is happening a lot on the Island, if you have a ladder they just come up and on in, without knocking and use what they want

This is still happening, it was supposed to have been fixed in a patch, but obviously it's broken again. I just want NPC's to rack off and leave my poor sim alone, instead of waltzing into her house like it's a community lot and using her bookcase, eating her food and watching her T.V.

One of my sims, who is a vampire I based off of Pam from True Blood, just take the attitude that they want to be food, so she just deep drains them when they walk in uninvited. She also has Nisa's Black Widow trait, so they get that treatment as well.
