I am getting notifications for unplayed sims in relation to their celebrity status, like this one: .

Babs is a sim in my game that I created, but her household is not an active or played one, just a sim I moved into the world. I am getting these notifications for ANY sim with celebrity status, including the premade ones that came with De Sol Valley which I have never played. Celebrity sims are also constantly walking into my house and acting like they live there, even when I lock my doors.

    Babs L'Amour in the picture is in the active household. I know the the OP said she wasn't but I have never seen an NPC gain fame by themselves.

    Why are you saying that she's the active when OP says she's not ? How do you know ? This is the error they're reporting. 

    You don't know how she got fame. Maybe the user cheated them fame.

    This whole discussion is really a bit fruitless though as this is about a report someone made and didn't come back.

    As I wrote I saw that but still think that was a mistake by the OP.

    We can discuss about this all day but the OP hasn't come back which I moved this here in the first place.

    Oops! Sorry @crinrict. I do not change the household, I play only one, Now I was reading the description of the problem once again and it looks like there is some bug in this safe. Non-played Sims and NPCs should not receive congratulations, which in addition appear in the current game with another family.
    The only conclusion is that before removing the mods the safe has already been broken. Removing mods or repair has not changed this fact.
    I think that problem needs restarting the game in factory mode and pasting into a new game, the old "saves" folder. Unfortunately, it does not always work.
