Anyone else having door locking trouble?

Ruface · March 2018

My door locks just aren't working at all. I'm currently playing a trailer park ish save, and I'm trying to set door locks for certain household members and it's just not working. I also have the cat hangout lot trait, and trying to lock the doors for all cats just doesn't work.

It's kinda frustrating. I do have mods, being MCCC and WW (lol, sue me), I'm gonna try taking them out and seeing if it helps and I'll report back.

Hello
Mods can cause issues .
It is best to move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.

I have removed my mods folder, and it's still happening!

I can click the wee button to lock the door for household members, and it works for a few seconds; then a few sim hours later it's like the game has forgotten and everyone can come through the door. Very frustrating, as it's kinda killing my storyline.

Cool, I have put a post on that thread. Lets see if it gets fixed, although for some reason I have serious doubts.

Try selling the door, and buying a new one, and see if that helps the issue. Try with a different type of door.

I have just tried to sell the door, and using a different door; still no change. I am currently uploading my saves file to googledrive to share on that feedback thread.

/shrug just gonna alter my storyline for now I suppose.

It is helpful that you are uploading your save file with the issue. It will assist the Developers in working out the issue cause.

Okay, so I have done some fiddling and discovered something.

The door locking works, until I click on "lock door for all pets/all cats/all dogs" and then it resets the door locking for EVERYONE in the household. I've tried this on multiple save files, on multiple different lots using different households. Seems trying to lock the doors for any type of pets seems to be borking something up.

Well that's a shame, I hope that doesn't become a big problem down the road. Some of my houses prefer that pets use the pet doors made for them and not the regular doors, so that might be something to look at.

It is helpful to know this. It may be best to lock the door for pets first, then choose the other options for locking sims, and see if that works.
Or to not lock doors for pets at all

Locking doors for pets first, then setting which sims have access seems to work. This is irritating, but I'm pleased there seems to be a little work around for now

It is good that there is a workaround to use for the time being, although it would be best if it wasn’t needed to be done.

Ruface · March 2018

Haha, I spoke too soon. I tried locking the door for all cats, setting which sims have access, the sims themselves obey but the cats which spawn from the cat hangout trait can come and go through my "no cats" door as they please. Irritating. I just want them on the lot, not in my house!!!!!

I am sorry that you are having these issues.
