Why is everyone wearing a brown paper bag?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, all game packs, all stuff packs except Spooky stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As I play my created sims all other sims in my neighborhood are wearing brown paper bags most of the time until I start an event and they change clothes. Sims come to visit and start swiping my things. Try to get adult sims to train toddler and the begin then walk away. The que keeps exiting what I select for them to do. Everyone constantly wants to play with the doll house.

Everyone constantly wants to play with the doll house.
What do you expect to see? I expect everyone’s face to be shown all of the time. I expect for the adult sims to stay and train the toddlers and give encouragement afterwards. I expect for my sims que to not disappear but complete all actions that they were given. I only expect the adult sims to play with the dollhouse if their children asks to play with them, unless they have a playful trait. I expect for my visitors to keep their hands to themselves and not swipe my things when they doy have a kleptomaniac trait.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The last patch which says to have fixed the issue with kleptomaniac trait being used by sims not having it. I didn’t have that issue before, but now I do.

Sending from my phone I don’t have pics here.

    You enacted the "We wear paperbags" NAP. You can repeal it. You should read the description of all possible NAPs to see which ones you will allow to get enabled.

    So I own a barley everyone comes in with paper bag over head , I want to options turn off eco and also the NPc  bit they still comes in with paper over head in this only when I opening the barley 

  • You almost certainly have the We Wear Bags and Sharing is Caring NAPs active.  You can turn off NPC voting but the NAPs will remain active until repealed. 

    (If you're willing to cheat, you can enable testing cheats, shift-click on a mailbox, and Instant Repeal the NAP that way.)

    As for the toddlers and dollhouses, yeah, um, there's been an issue with Sims dropping things from their queue lately, I think, but yeah, make sure the toddler didn't get tired of what the adult was trying to do.

    I have the same issue. However, the "Sharing is Caring" is not coming up on any of the mailboxes when I use the cheat code. How do I find the correct mailbox to disable that feature?

    Any mailbox on your lot will work. If you do not see "Sharing is caring" with the cheat code it is because it is not voted in in your neighborhood.
