Welcome Wagon is kinda bothersome.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the Welcome Wagon coming over after you move your Sims in? Honestly, I don't want to feel obligated to talk to the neighbors. And also, making friends in the game spawns excessive texts. Tips on how to prevent this?

you'll get a slight negative relationship with the people who came, though

I'd rather not make any enemies thanks. Wait, do enemy relationships decay as well?
They do. And it hardly adds to the bar. It's as if you started with a blank bar and did 1 bad interaction with them. It's not even nearly enough to be disliked by them; you'll still be acquaintances.

I don't think there's a mod for stopping text messages though...
I usually just grin and bear it sometimes just engaging with one sim in the crowd.. even grouping with just that one and taking them to a different section of the house so I can avoid meeting them all. If you get friendly enough with one you'll get the glad we have such good neighbors drop down if you've invited them in.
I'd say murder them but their ghost stays on and texts you later if you release the spirit.. lol. It can be fun to do either way though.
I also had an angry neighbor who insulted my sims, and there was no way they could ask her to leave. At least, if one of the neighbors is rude, there should be the option to demand that they leave immediately, "social event" or not.

It's like... yeah, you're not welcome here. What did you think was gonna happen when you magically appeared in my yard and came striding down the lawn wielding a fruitcake?
But recently my Sim was off the Lot mooching around looking for plants and collectibles. Obviously, Not At Home. The Welcome Wagon seemed reluctant to accept that she wasn't there and eventually I got the sulky little reaction that they felt unwelcome.
When I was really new to the game I didn't see the 'invite the neighbours in' option and my Sim was happily talking to everyone out on the porch. Apparently that lot didn't feel welcome either.
As for the wretched fruit cake - sometimes I feel as if I'll have to pry it from their cold, dead hands. The bearer will carry it around then just take it when they leave.

On a serious note - Who actually EATS that stuff? Trust me - it's gonna take more than a little red ribbon to even make it look good!
BTW, as far as fruitcake, my Sim actually ate it and got more later, OMG, lol!...
(For me, irl, I only had one I liked, once.)
But I do miss the fruitcake. IF your sim likes it (and do, some don't) they get some pretty nice moodlets... and get terribly fat after a few days of eating it lol.
