Ok, so i followed this sim's car to his house, and when he gets near the front entrance of this "unoccupied" house, he disappears (makes me think he lives there, i mean it's common sense if he disappears in front of the front door then he lives there). But, when i click on that house that the guy disappeared in front of, I get the "Ring Bell" Option and when i put the mouse over the option it says "No one lives here." WTF?! I followed like 3 other sims, and this always happen. What's going on? I'm so confused, is this a bug? Has anyone gotten it?

	Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.
