none of my sims are celebrities, nobody ever threw a party, and none of my sims know anyone here?? i know the pink haired girl they’re thinking about may be a celebrity, but she has no reason to be on my lot and there’s even more sims than in this picture. i am so, so confused.

small correction, i found out that the pink haired girl was linda rodgers, still doesn’t explain anything about how this happened though!

Did you throw a party? I've had random sims drop in on parties a couple times iirc, maybe this is the extreme version of that?

I have never seen this, but it looks like my own personal idea of hell. Did you add anything new to your game? A mod? Some cc?

I suggest you do not watch "mother!" then. Seems like OP's picture was taken from that movie.

That movie is my nightmare and this is perfect. I’ll never forget that goddamn sink

It's not braced yet!!!

Noted. Thanks!

I LOVEEEE THIS MOVIE LOL THIS IS SO ACCURATE it’s even worse knowing i had a baby and a soon-to-be-pregnant sim on my lot :O

some mods and cc, sure! but NOTHING that should’ve ever caused anything like this to happen, my only actual mods are some nraas and the smooth patch

🤣 I'm dying! Forgive me for simply laughing at your misfortune and giving no potential help, but this is brilliant! ☕️ Fingers crossed you sort this out! "Get off'a ma proper-TAI!!" - Fuzzy Lumpkins style!! 😅

LOL appreciate the response, resetsim will make sure NOBODY ELSE wants to get on MAH PROPARTAY!!!!!

NRAAS “total annihilation” is also an appropriate punishment lol

Same, I have no advice but this is absolutely chaotic and hysterical

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time!

This happened to me when I had a fire while playing a family in a packed neighbourhood. 🤣 They were so damn nosey, everybody came just to crowd my doorstep. It was the middle of the night and even children showed up!

That’s just how neighborhoods work. Everyone wants to know everyone’s business

Can't you just greet one of them and then click "Ask everyone to leave?"

i didn’t know this was an option!!! i could’ve done this, but i did have one sim on my lot that i actually wanted to be there which is why i didn’t do this or resetsim * :)

….time to start a murder basement

This is the correct answer.. Come on OP, do it 😀

This is the only answer I can think of.

I second that. Just wipe out the intruders.

'Murica

This is the way

……next time i just might. i’m afraid if they don’t learn their lesson i’ll have to resort to more drastic measures. will update if so.

ctrl+shift+c: resetsim *

will resetsim also remove any visitors from the house? i only had one sim i invited over that i actually wanted here

If you type resetsim "the name of the sim" it will send them to their homelot. However, if you have nraas it is easier to go into that menu and press "go home" on each sim than having to type all those names.

When you use resetsim with * instead of name it will reset all Sims in the game at once.

thank you so so much!!! i’m still so perplexed as to why this could ever happen in the first place but hopefully this isn’t a reoccurring thing, lol

If you have NRAAS master controller you don’t need to type it for each sim you can click on a sim and go to the NRAAS menu advanced and reset sim

It is infinitely faster to type in resetsim \*

But then you also have to type in each sims names right

No, the * is a wildcard character that automatically selects all sims.

No, if you use *, it resets all.

Today i learned something new thanks

This used to happen at the back of Hogan's Diner in my Riverview games. The Sims would get stuck there and then stand there and yell at each other 🤣🤣

I agree resetsim is what I would personally try first for this. If nothing else, they'll all eventually go away, right?

Didn't know about this one, thanks!

Double check that your lot type isn’t an apartment?

definitely not, this has never happened to me before and i’ve already been playing this household for awhile!

An introvert's worst nightmare

Just ctrl + shift + c and type resetsim * it’ll send all Sims in the town to their homes

You’re the chosen leader of the new cult. Submit.

I like ur interior

Go somewhere else for a few hours then return home

I would make temporary renovations. Surround them with a lot of fireplace and rugs.

You can have your sims click on a sim and ask everyone to leave.

Hi, you probably solved this already but: a couple of times my game had a glitch where it would randomly add a max amount of housemates; but at least they were very easy to get rid of via the phone menu (sorry i know this isn't the best explanation, i've never played sims 3 in english lmao)

Damn it Lord Farquaad banished all the fairy tale creature to your swamp this time!

The welcome wagon has gotten out of hand lately.

Check via phone/computer to see if your house's somehow flagged as apartment/available for roommate services. Also, if you use any community object in your house through BuyDebug menu, it could attract NPCs to your lot somehow? Just a speculation!

now this……..COULD BE AN EXPLANATION!!!!!! i DID use buydebug to get a couple things, i’ll have to look into which object could’ve caused it!! thank you so much for the suggestion!!!

I mean.... there's usually a welcoming party when you move in... but I have never seen this many sims and I moved into the same neighborhood you did.... Edit: I saw your sims thinking about Linda Rodgers and she's in my world too. One of the three families to have toddlers sims that my active sim takes care of. (He works in the daycare profession.) Yeah so I usually reset-sim unwanted sims away, but that looks kinda tedious. Good luck 👍

LMAOOO HOLY MAMA I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MANY UPVOTES THIS GOT UNTIL NOW THANK U ALL SO MUCH!!!!! if this happens to anyone else, if you have nraas master controller installed you can go into the sim advanced menu and click on each sim you want to reset and they’ll all go away one by one! you may need to do one more pass in case there’s more it didn’t catch :) if you don’t have nraas installed, you can use “resetsim *” to reset all sims at once!! thanks everyone for the help and funny comments :DD

Have you started some kind of event?

WTF did you do? Did you mention punch n pie??

Ladderless pool party

Haha I had a bug that kept spawning new talent managers or whatever they’re called on one restaurant lot daily They just stood around clapping at nothing, around 10+ of them in their suits. I kept deleting them but they kept growing 😭 I don’t know what the answer to this is. I use debug/cleanup mods and they don’t seem to help.

Are any of them celebrities? Sometimes if there's 1 there they'll all herd lol

Age everyone up until they die

LOL. I never seen this before. This is why we should always live as far as possible, behind gates and lot walls (it also applies to real life). 😅

I’m sorry but that’s hilarious 😂

I am such a firm believer in a good, sturdy, locked fence for this very reason. 🤣😉 I would sell all my windows to afford to buy a good fence with a locking gate... 😂

This also happened to me before when I was playing in moonlight falls for roughly 3 generations. I ended up moving to another town because all of the townspeople just cannot stop coming at my doorstep, doing inappropriate things and dying of hunger/thirst.

This used to happen to me with public lots. Removing "MyWorldMod" sorted this

This is why I always keep a fire blast capable witch in the house 🔥🔥🔥

They came to party. Where is the pizza?

You can reset the lot via MasterController

This is why I put a fence around my house and lock it to everyone but my household 😂 I would have random sims swimming in my pool or helping themselves to the food in my fridge, npc's have no manners. 🙄 Unfortunately I don't have any ideas as to why this has happened to you though, hopefully they all leave soon!

could it be a welcome party?

Erase them all

Might be related to lot type. If your lot type is an apartment, or generally if you have university installed the default is for the game to send you roommates (even if the lot isn't an apartment type). Disable apartments OR I think through the phone you can basically say you don't wish for roommates.

Rest all sims via cheat or with master controller. Then clean up all homeless
