    This happens in my game too, but only when my sims live in Sulani. This has happened in multiple Sulani residential lots. Sims will enter the house and do not have the option to "send home" in their conversation/action menu. No mods/cc.

  • Yeah, this is very common in Sulani and Mt Komorebi. It is incredibly irritating to have the NPC Wildlife Conservationists in Sulani frequently using my outdoor sink for water, or having Yamachan enter my house in Mt Komorebi and be unable to tell them to leave without deleting the lot (I delte the lot as an extreme because it forces the NPC AI to reroute and interact with something else instead of standing idle in my kitchen/bathroom or grab numerous glasses of water) then replacing it.

    It wound't be quite so annoying if it wasn't so frequent and if they cleaned up after themselves.

    I also have these wandering water wayfarers on console too (Xbox). These pilfering pirates also leave glasses everywhere. 

    Added info:
    This is has never happened to me in Sulani but I've not played that world for a few months. I've only played San Myshuno. Oasis Springs and Willow Creek recently and so far it only happens to me in San Myshuno!

  • oh, so this is a bug, not a feature? I have been living with my Sims on Sulani for more than 3 real years and all this time everyone who is not too lazy comes to me for water, lol

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions can be found here. Please also include a link to the thread the save is for.

    Thanks!

  • I've been seeing this too. Random townies that my active household doesn't know barge in to the house like they own the place, get water from a sink, and eventually leave.

    I don't know if it's still happening after the latest patch. It's always so random when it happens. I'll keep a lookout.

  • I noticed random sims come into my apartment (San Myshuno) for no reason, without any relationship with my household, certainly no invitation to come in or hang out. No mods, no cc, new save, fresh install.

  • This happens to me too, but I'm not playing in Sulani. I don't think I've ever noticed this before, just my most recent save file. I also can't ask the random sims to leave because there's no send home option that pops up. Like get out of my house hello????

    This happened nonstop on the shipwreck lot in Sulani.  I rebuilt the house several times to see if it was particular paths or spots, but it seemed to happen no matter which way I set it up.
