Overtly friendly neighbor
IgnorantBliss:
I have this one sim who used to work as a barista, but was turned into a playable sim when I had her marry one of my CAS sims. The problem is that she keeps visiting all the neighbors, uninvited, all the time. This is different from the feature that outgoing sims may walk into the house without being greeted. She's not outgoing, and she shows up all the time. She'll walk in, grab a bag of cookies from the fridge and sit in front of the TV, starting to play video games. And will stay for hours unless sent home. It's starting to get slightly annoying. My theory is that this overtly friendly behaviour has something to do with her having been a barista in the past. Other NPCs that I've turned playable in the past have not behaved like this, but I've never played with ex-baristas before. Any ideas how to make her behave like a normal, more reserved neighbor?

Sounds like you have a problem with Raiders of the Lost Fridge. Lock your fridges to prevent theft.
IgnorantBliss:
What method would you recommend for locking the fridges?
J. M. Pescado:
You may shortly discover this when I finish grading the Contest of Awesomeness, of which one of the measures of quality design includes protection from "Raiders of the Lost Fridge". As a rule, the fridge should be sealed in a room with the other cooking equipment and locked against visitors either by APO or Maxian OFB door locking. Otherwise you will be pillaged blind, a practice that is not good for anyone, because unlike in real life, eating a cookie inflates you like a balloon. As opposed to in real life, where if I eat an entire sack of cookies, I won't get any fatter, I just won't be hungry for a day or two.
IgnorantBliss:
I don't know about that, because I do get fatter if I eat an entire sack of cookies in a short period of time ;). That's why I try to buy them in small portions instead of sacks, and try not to raid my neighbors' kitchens.
I'll try the door locking trick, then.
