You know when you notice your community lots are missing items because the Sharing is Caring NAP is enabled even though you never voted, you never played in this neighborhood, in which no sims even live because it's just community lots ?? Or your electricity/water is cut off because of a neighborhood action plan you never voted for. Yeah, it's so annoying. These are just a few examples.
And If you want that neighborhood action plan cancelled you have to get votes....except you can't since no sims are living in the neighborhood!! So you're stuck with it, or you have to move in a sim, have then get votes and cancel it.
So what I'm saying is it would be nice to be able to either disable or change NAPs for the neighborhood your sim is living in from the NAP board if there is one or better yet, clicking on your sim's mailbox without having to get influence points beforehand. It just would be way easier.

Thats weird since I have turnt off NPC voting and the NAPs still occur in my game. I dont mind them, but I had to find a mod to completely stop Sharing Is Caring. I dont appreciate builds Ive worked on getting torn up all because that NAP insists on being state law everywhere. >:T
If you didn't turn off NAP voting in the settings when you installed the pack then there could be NAP's active in your game, then you have no choice but to go to every neighborhood and disable them.
Then, we've got Food Aficionado. That in theory should be a decent NAP. If it wasn't bugged so that your Sims didn't spammed White Cake at every opportunity they got, then I would have enjoyed it.
We Wear Bags is so stupid and even has some of my unplayed Sims wear these dumb bags on their heads as well as every single ghost that visited my lot. I had to get rid of it immediately.
I didn't live with the other highly intrusive ones such as Good Ol' Times, Roughhousing Encouraged (I wouldn't have minded that one if it didn't make everyone -including townies- despise each other), or the one that has your electricity cut off. The only NAP I hadn't repealed that I know of is Self-Sufficiency, which is a good one. I'm keeping autonomous voting off because of those negative experiences I had with the NAPs.
I uninstalled that pack.
Well, reinstalled everything without installing it again.
I think some of these may have been fixed with tuning patches but I've still noticed the white cake spam and I don't think anything has been done to address how obnoxious Sharing is Caring is.
Considering ALL WE DO is complain that TS4 Sims don't have distinct personalities, I WISH I knew why Maxis thought making every Sim in a neighborhood act the same way because of which NAP was activated was in any way, shape, or form, a good idea.
If NAPs were pure gameplay: better skill gains, better career gains, increased/decreased bills etc etc, they would have been a LOT better received.
Instead Maxis decided "this is how your Sims will behave, like it or lump it".
I wish I understood why.
