  • Random townies enter my sim's house at Camp Caldera in Sulani to drink water. This is very annoying because it happens multiple times per ingame day. 

  • I have the issue also in Sulani (the island lot in Mua Pelam) and the intruders are also drinking water and can't be sent away.

    I noticed that (almost) all NPC intruders had fears. This may be a coincidence, but I'm testing to see if removing the fears will stop them from entering Camp Caldera.

    Edit: The Intruders are mostly NPC conservationists or people who work in sulani. All but one had fear of darkness and fear of swimming. I guess that's because sulani has a lot of water and thunderstorms and they are scripted to be outside. It seems that removing their fears calms them a bit down and reduces their visits but it doesn't stop them. One of them had no fear and still intruded camp caldera to drink water. And also removing the fears helps only until their next swimming accident or thunderstorm.

    I’m having the same issue. NPC’s walk into my sim’s house and will just randomly grab a drink of water, something from the fridge or start talking to my sim without my sim even knowing them.

    This happened to me in Sulani as well on the private island in Mu’a Pel’am

    I noticed it was particularly bad a few months ago when I was playing a household set in Sulani, but it doesn't seem to be an issue in other worlds. Maybe it's somehow tied to the function that lets neighbours bring around leftovers in that world?

  • Same here, unknown Sims just walk into the house and drink water.

    In Sulani it happens in both my homes - Sapphire Shore and Admiral Wreckage multiple times per day.
