She's been doing this in my 'hoods for a couple of EPs now - at least since Seasons and possibly back in ZOMGPetz! as well. Who the frick rings a doorbell at a nightclub? And what the frick nightclub has a doorbell?! Around the same time she started that lameassery, I also noticed that my sims' guests had completely forgotten how to ring doorbells on residential lots. Aside from the welcome wagon, everyone who comes over will just wander towards the mailbox and just sort of wait to be noticed. If the inviting sim is outside, the visitor may amble towards them in hopes of being greeted, but once that welcome wagon's come and gone, the doorbell is never used again. Poor, cobwebby doorbell.
For some reason, this is what happens after you throw a party on the lot. Prior to party, Sims who will wait for you to admit them will ring the doorbell. Post-party, no visitor will ring the doorbell.

Gah, that is lame. Typical of EA's sloppy coding, though. I'm guessing that once it's set that "go right on in" thingy for the party guests it never unsets it or whatever for the lot. At least there's a reason - thanks for the explanation! It's been really bugging me, trying to figure out the why.

I noticed the doorbell-ringing did stop for certain sims, but didn't connect it to having a party. Probably because I was throwing parties in practically every house that wasn't "quarantined".
The "teens bring home tourists" feature has caused further spread of vacation behaviors. I haven't even used the mountain vacation yet, but a couple mountain teens have come home from school with teens I'm playing. As a result, they've learned the chest-pounding gesture. As I said, I don't mind this part of the viral behavior. Hey, it means they can fulfill vacation goals before they even leave on vacation! Ah, if only ninja teleport were viral! (Yes, I know there's a hack that allows sims to teach teleport.)
Zaleth:
Gypsy showed up and rang the bell at the Crypt o Night Club in downtown for me. Thought it was weird and she wouldn't leave even after I told her to.
After installing free time I noticed new stores, places to go and a graveyard in the down town area.
