[TS2] Loads of Sims keep randomly showing up to my house all of a sudden

Out of nowhere my sims are being inundated with random people coming around and ringing on their doorbell at all hours of the day and night. They come over at like 3 in the morning, I greet them, and they instantly leave bc of how late it is. This has never happened to me on any lot I’ve played. If it’s during the day they’ll stay for hours until they’re basically starving.

Just for context, I did get the genie recently for the first time. I chose peace of mind for sim 1 & sim 2, then beauty for sim 1. Does this have any effect on the people showing up 24/7?
