I moved into the Old Salt House. Once all 5 sims walked into the building I locked the gate. Turned off freewill and went on with my occult gameplay testing. While I was going about my game the Neighbors spawned but did not do anything. They just stood around while one of them had a fruit cake. After a long while they started to stink and then pass out. Then they got up one by one and left over time. Then at a later time at least one came back.
My assumption is that the act of locking the gate threw them off. I felt inclined to share this occurrence of events.
