Your Friendly Neighborhood N.A.P. Guide

elemmeleelemmele Posts: 689 Member
So Knox Greenburg's just come by and told you all about N.A.P.s. He's told you about voting, when to vote, and even done you the kindness of influencing you on what to vote for!
34AIGL5

Now you're just getting all settled in and things are great, but... Lemme ask ya somethin'...

Are your Sims obsessed with baking cakes? Maybe they're breaking into spontaneous fights when you're just trying to have a nice breakfast with your estranged cousin from Forgotten Hollow. Or, worse yet, the oh-so welcoming Welcome Wagon not only gifted you a delicious fruitcake, but they've also done you the favor of picking your brand new home clean of all it's furniture!

You know what you got, pal? Sounds to me like you got yourself a N.A.P. problem! But before you rage-quit and uninstall the expansion pack you just paid full price for, take a look through the following guide and see if it can help you -- or at least point you in the right direction. And if I can't quite cover what's ailing you, please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to help!

To start this guide off right, we're going to plop a brand new Sim down into good ol' Evergreen Harbor. This is Nikita Crow! She's going to help me show you how to wrangle those pesky N.A.P.s into your control, and shape your world the way you see fit! (Open the Spoiler tags to view images~)

Nikita is a San Myshuno native, so there are lots of things about Evergreen Harbor that are brand new to her. Namely...N.A.P.s! For now she's excited about the possibilities, but...something quickly became glaringly obvious to her.

Turns out, something as innocent as having a friend over for a movie and a chat can wind up meaning missing furniture galore! And just imagine the damage that a whole Welcome Wagon could do. Oh, you thought that was a funny little joke, huh? Nikita doesn't think it's very funny, and I’m willing to wager that your Sims don't either. Why, they could wind up like Nikita here and wake up to a totally empty apartment!
3ln9lRd

So what in the world made this kind Sim start pilfering all of Nikita's goods? A pesky, no-good N.A.P., that's what! Specifically, we're talking about the "Sharing is Caring" N.A.P. If you'd like to see a full list of all the N.A.P.s and their effects, you can find them here: Carl's Sims 4 Guide

Scrolling down and skimming through the "Sharing is Caring" description, we'll see what the crux of the issue is. The end of the description reads as follows:

"With this initiative, everything you see can be yours. You see something, you take it. No questions asked, no repercussions. Just don't get too attached to anything you already own..."

But let's say that your Sim, much like Nikita, doesn't fancy themselves much of a klepto. So instead, they wind up getting all their stuff stolen, but they don't get to steal stuff themselves! Of course, there's the option...

But! We're good, nice, civilized folks, and we don't steal "share." Now, there are a few different ways to get rid of this troublesome N.A.P., but since we don't want to be dirty cheaters (not yet anyway), lets go over the "right" ways to do this.

Repealing N.A.P.s

In-game, your Sim can decide to have a N.A.P. repealed. Note that you can only do this while the voting period is open! So today Nikita is going to start a petition to repeal the infamous "Sharing is Caring" N.A.P.
34x1ZVz

It's going to take her ten Influence Points, and five, count 'em, five signatures from other Sims to get the job done. The great news is that these signatures can be from any Sim, not just the ones living in your neighborhood! However, you can only collect signatures while in your home neighborhood.

32rXdpB

Voila! Now that we've gotten all five signatures, "Sharing is Caring" is officially repealed! But...those silly Sims are still stealing "sharing" everything in sight! What gives? Well... Even though we successfully repealed the N.A.P., the changes won't take effect until the voting period ends.
34vOENc

Speaking of voting...let's tackle another topic at hand.

NPC Voting

Did you know you can disable NPC voting? Seems to me that most of these local yokels don't have the best taste when it comes to their N.A.P.s. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that their taste in N.A.P.s is downright awful! Sharing is Caring, Roughhousing Encouraged, Free Love and more! This neighborhood's a mess! So how can we stop the other Sims in the neighborhood from voting?

In your "Game Options," there is a section dedicated to Eco Lifestyle. As you can see, there is a simple tick-box available to turn off NPC voting. Easy!
31uIJWx

I feel like it's also important to note that whether you have NPC voting turned on or off, so long as your neighborhood already has four active N.A.P.s, a new one cannot be voted in.

But unfortunately my friend, the N.A.P. issues don't end there. We've vanquished the "Sharing is Caring" foe, but what about those other N.A.P.s we don't want? Fortunately, as long as you don't mind being a dirty cheater, there's an easy fix for that.

Dirty Cheating

Repealing N.A.P.s the "right" way is a long process. While you could be dedicating your Sim's time to improving skills or developing friendships, instead you have to take time going out and collecting signatures. And let's not forget what a burden it is if you don't even have enough Influence Points!

Let's try cheating.

Now hear me out! It's not as game-changing or as law-breaking as it may sound. In fact, it's actually quite easy! So let's get right into it.

First things first, make sure that you are on a residential lot of the neighborhood you'd like to change. It can be any residential lot, so long as there is a mailbox present.

Next, we're going to bring up the cheat console by entering "Shift+Ctrl+C" (press all three buttons). Then you will see a white box at the top left corner of your screen, like this:
2EsUYKK

Then type the following: testingcheats on

...and press "Enter." After this, you should get some text that reads "Cheats are enabled."
31s9XgG

Now for the fun part! Let's get into changing and customizing our N.A.P.s as we see fit. Or, alternatively, just getting rid of them altogether.

Hold down "Shift" and then click on your mailbox. You will see an option called "Instant Repeal Neighborhood Action Plan (Cheat)..."
3lheAlL
32srx3h

From here, you can instantly repeal any N.A.P. your simming heart desires. No influence points, no signatures, no problem! Just sweet, sweet N.A.P.less neighborhoods. And if you've already disabled NPC voting, new N.A.P.s, of course, won't be voted in! But if you do want some N.A.P.s, you can also cheat-enact some that you like!
3hJQ7Dv
2YEpnfX

Keep in mind that all N.A.P.s do affect your game in one way or another. For example, if you have the "Foodies Unite!" N.A.P. enabled, your Sims will receive Influence Points for cooking (in any style), but you will also notice their sudden, seemingly insatiable need to bake cakes. They could be preparing a totally separate meal and then, suddenly, they need to bake a cake.

Or maybe "Rock Your Body (and Mind)" sounds perfect for your Sim who aspires to be the world's best bodybuilder. They'll be getting Influence Points whenever they work out (among other things). But much like the cake cravings, you'll find that your Sim will sometimes drop everything they're doing just to drop down to the ground and do some impromptu push-ups.

Since we're on that topic (and since @elanorbreton kindly suggested it), let's take a look at some N.A.P.s and the different ways they can affect your Sims (and more often the Sims around them).

N.A.P. Effects
Please note that this list is a work in progress! I will be adding more as I play more with different N.A.P.s. If you know of any, feel free to let me know, and I'll add it to the list! In addition, any question marks are to indicate that I think the action is a result of this N.A.P., but I need to do further testing to make sure.
  • Foodies Unite! - Sims will autonomously make cakes and mix drinks.
  • Rock Your Body (and Mind) - Sims will autonomously do push-ups and read books(?).
  • Fun-Loving Community - Sims will autonomously "Give Fake Bad News."
  • Promote Creative Arts - Sims will autonomously mold clay and draw on the digital sketchpad(?).
  • Roughhousing Encouraged - Sims will autonomously fight.
  • Sharing is Caring - Sims will autonomously steal all of your hard-earned furniture.
  • Support the Performing Arts! - Sims will autonomously play the guitar and the violin.
  • Tech Support - Sims will autonomously build rockets (if one is available) and practice programming(?).
  • Free Love - Sims will autonomously kiss and embrace, regardless of relationship status).
  • Juiced Community - Sims will often have the "Dazed" emotion.

Keeping all this in mind, I encourage you to play your game however you like -- however it best suits your playstyle! For me that meant going through and customizing each and every neighborhood's N.A.P.s to my liking (with cheats, like the dirty cheater I am). And, personally, I have lots of fun playing different ways for all my different little families. But I can totally understand why someone might not want any N.A.P.s at all!

Just don't enact "Sharing is Caring." Trust me on this one.

...Unless you like screaming at your screen, of course!

Either way, hopefully this guide has covered the basics of what you need to know about N.A.P.s. But of course, if I've missed anything or you have any further questions, feel free to post them here! Or maybe you have an idea of how I can improve this guide? I'm all ears.

I hope you're staying safe and healthy. And happy simming!~ ✌

    That's a good little guide with a fun writing style that keeps it interesting to read <3

    Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

    If you ever feel like expanding it, it would be great to have a list of all available naps with their down sides - like you specified with foodies unite that they frequently bake cakes.

    Love the guide. I found out some of these things the hard way and now find that for me the only NAPS I want are the 6 eco-related NAPS including Green Gardening, plus the 2 eco neighborhood upgrade NAPS. All the rest encouraged compulsive behaviors. I'm now trying to update games with NAPs like these.

    That was quite awesome of you to create this guide. The only problem I am having with those NAPs ( BC all of them seem to make Sims overdo them dont they lol) is that even tho I disabled them in gameplay options they were still being voted on. Do I still have to enable 4 to keep them from being voted on, even tho its actually disabled in gameplay menu?

    I'm glad you liked it! And I'm totally with ya on that one, lol. I also find myself sticking with a small handful of N.A.P.s, but I'm still trying to branch out and experiment. Carefully, though... I can only get my stuff stolen so many times, haha!
    @LemDoodle You are amazing! Thank you!

    Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement! I really appreciate it! Also I gotta say, that is a fantastic idea. A wealthy Sim losing all their Simoleons constantly replacing their "shared" furniture lol!

    Aw man, I'm sorry you're having an issue with your game! :( I have heard from some users that they experience N.A.P.-related bugs quite a bit. I'll see if I can try and replicate it in my game today and I'll let you know if I find out something helpful! For now, even though it's definitely a hassle, I can confirm that if you have four active N.A.P.s, NPCs can't vote on them to be changed regardless. But like I said, I totally understand how tedious setting each neighborhood's N.A.P.s can be, so I'll try and find some info to help.

    Either way, I totally agree that the way N.A.P.s are currently are a bit much. I'm hoping that in a future patch they'll nerf them appropriately and, more importantly, fix the bugs involved with them!

    Alrighty, @smurfy77 I've done some testing! I saw your thread about uninstalling Eco Lifestyle (I'm glad you found a way to do it!), but I still wanted to test your issue in case it can still help you or anyone else! That being said, here's what I found...

    In order to test this I disabled my NPC voting and cheat-repealed all of the active N.A.P.s in the neighborhood I was playing in. During the voting period, no votes were cast for any N.A.P., although I did still get the standard "voting is open" notification. However, at the end of the voting period, I got this message:
    2Eztgfm

    When I checked my active N.A.P.s via the mailbox, however, I was met with this:
    2YIRCdj

    It seems like even though the game recognizes a N.A.P. as being voted for, it doesn't activate it. I also tried to cheat-repeal the N.A.P. that was "voted in," but I didn't have the option to.
    3jgA0xs

    I honestly wish that a more inconvenient N.A.P. like Roughhousing Encouraged or Free Love got "voted in" so I could see if the effects still apply. With that in mind, I'll keep testing this to see if I can find anything else out.

    On that note, I'm thinking of adding a "Known N.A.P. Bugs" section at some point in the future, so if anyone happens across one, please let me know!

    I honestly wish that a more inconvenient N.A.P. like Roughhousing Encouraged or Free Love got "voted in" so I could see if the effects still apply. With that in mind, I'll keep testing this to see if I can find anything else out.

    On that note, I'm thinking of adding a "Known N.A.P. Bugs" section at some point in the future, so if anyone happens across one, please let me know!

    You are so awesome! Thank you for helping me and so many others, you're a great person. I may re-enable it if its not actually doing any voting anywhere and jyst saying that. I can definitely deal with a just saying it, and still hope for fixes too. If I ever see that, after I re-enable it, i will definitely let you know. Thank you so much!!

    Love this guide! I've played one save with NAPs... I was a little overwhelmed because Roughhousing and Sharing is Caring were both voted in by NPCs. LOL. I had to stop trying to fix it and just watched in awe as everything was taken from the community lot and everyone was beaten up.

    Alrighty, @smurfy77 I've done some testing! I saw your thread about uninstalling Eco Lifestyle (I'm glad you found a way to do it!), but I still wanted to test your issue in case it can still help you or anyone else! That being said, here's what I found...

    In order to test this I disabled my NPC voting and cheat-repealed all of the active N.A.P.s in the neighborhood I was playing in. During the voting period, no votes were cast for any N.A.P., although I did still get the standard "voting is open" notification. However, at the end of the voting period, I got this message:
    2Eztgfm

    When I checked my active N.A.P.s via the mailbox, however, I was met with this:
    2YIRCdj

    I have N.A.P.s disabled. I also get the messages about one of them being voted for then I never see them in effect. Have had that ever since I got the Pack :smile:

    Im glad that they aren't actually doing them after you disabled that part. I have good hopes of having the pack work for me too then, bc other than things not working right I really wanted to play that one, tyvm! :smile:

    This guide is really fantastic - thanks for all the info! I was wondering why my sim couldn't go 5 seconds without doing a pushup lol.
    Current profile pic is of my current fave sim to play with! :-)

    Wow, you have a way with words! This is awesome, loved reading all of it.

    I disable the NPC and the Footprint both. I do go a step further and go to "gameplay" and disable the box for the wallpaper, flooring, etc......just to be on the safe side! :D

    Awesooome! I hope that if/when you reinstall Eco Lifestyle you can get to enjoy all the cool parts of the pack -- and a lot less of the bugs and stuff. All the best!~

    Oh my gosh I can imagine that was uh...intriguing? To say the least! Lol I remember Free Love wreaking havoc through my own save. It seemed like everywhere I went, everyone was making out. I was like...um, okay. Y'all do you, I guess. Seems like Sims sure are passionate about their N.A.P.s, I'll give 'em that!
    I have N.A.P.s disabled. I also get the messages about one of them being voted for then I never see them in effect. Have had that ever since I got the Pack :smile:
    Thanks much for the insight! I had never really played with N.A.P.s disabled so I wasn't too sure -- I appreciate ya lettin' us know!

    Thanks so much! Glad you got some info on why your Sims were suddenly trying to be buff legends 💪 Gotta appreciate their drive, but...time and place, y'know?

    Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that! ;u; And that's a really great tip actually -- I totally forgot that some build stuff affects the eco footprint as well!
