[ECO] Excessive White Cakes (NAP Active)

This problem has been around for quite a while now. And I could maybe understand it if the guests were cooking different dishes, but they only bake white cakes.

My sim is a max celebrity and gets swarmed by paparazzi, but whenever they are running their small business despite having the fridge and oven in an employee only area, the paparazzi will go over and bake cakes which they then leave around. This is a hassle. 

Annoyingly it then makes Sims complain about the store being dirty.

The only activities at the business is to buy items and be friendly.

So I don't know if this is just a problem with my game or everyone's but sims will not stop baking cakes. For example if a sim, not of my household, is at my lot they will bake a cake, and not just one but many. These sims will bake a cake and then five minutes later bake another one, this is constant. Furthermore this bug doesn't only apply to when a sim is at my lot it also happens when I take my sim off lot. For instance if my sim were to visit a separate household lot the non-household sims there will just continuously bake cakes. This bug has been driving me crazy and impeding my gameplay, so I thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone else is having an issue. 

Just wanted to say this is still happening in my game. It's been weeks and every time my sim opens her business or has people over, everyone autonomously bakes a ridiculous amount of white cakes. EA please fix this! I don't use any mods or cc and repairing the game does nothing. June 2, 2025

I have started to get this again after the latest patch. i get like at kleast 7-8 white cakes each time. they mostly dont finish them tho so theres just a bunch of starts everywhere.

I have sims in my household that are celebrities, so paparazzi outside their house is expected. However, the NPC paparazzi keep entering my house, without being invited in, and baking several white cakes. There ends up being like 10 white cakes fully made or the ingredients around my kitchen/dining room. I cannot drag these cakes to the bin, I have to make my sim clean this up. Once it's clean, the paparazzi enter and make more! I have been deleting the paparazzi from the game, but more NPCs are generated and do the same thing. To this, I had a social event, birthday party, and my guests who are not selected to be the caterer, also bake several white cakes.
