Has anyone seen this before?
I tried to order groceries at around 3am and the delivery did not turn up, so I tried to order pizza, but that didn't show up either.
Since then, grocery and pizza guys show up every day just outside the house, with no van or goods. They stand there for about 24 hours. I can't interact with them. Eventually they either vanish, or they enter the house and start playing chess. One of them has been playing chess for about 48 hours. I can't interact with him other than 'watch'.
I think this may have started after I built a porchway outside the front door, so the first door is now an archway (specifically the Cyclonesue neverending arch). However, I've since removed that and the problem continues.
I also tried building a single room with a door right next the the road, to see if they would use that, but that made no difference.
Anyone know a way out of this weirdness?

Maybe somebody can give you advice on that matter.
Did you try a different house to see if it was the lot or maybe CC or the neighborhood?
Yes, it doesn't seem to be affecting other lots.
I've been looking through the lot and neighbourhood files with SimPE, trying to find the flag that causes a delivery, but no luck there either.
My only recourse now is to build a chess table outside for them and leave them there for ever!
If you move to another lot remember to have a door behind an arch somewhere so delivery Sims can deliver. They need a reg. door.
There is a regular Maxis back door they can use - and they used to use that, but not any more.
You're best off moving them to a brand new lot and hoping the glitch doesn't happen again and if it does, try to find a similarity between that lot and this one so you can avoid it in the future.
Why don't you just give them a base game front door and make sure the porch, if you have one, is wide and deep enough for them not to get stuck on stairs.
That's what they have. I returned the porch to how it was before the trouble started. I don't know for sure that it was the archway that caused the issue. They never used the front door anyway. Always went round to the back door. It could just be that I phoned them at 3am.
Anyway. I'll try moving lots and see what that does.
