Locked doors do not remain locked

[crinrict]

@TheSolidRequiem Is this different from your report in June: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Locked-doors-not-working-when-a-sim-leaves-the-lot/m-p/9245507 ?

The house I am playing in has very small bedrooms (its a Gallery house).  I did exactly as the fix said, and turned one door around.  My sim who was in the bedroom, when I did this was then stuck inside the room.  In this case, the workaround was to remove all the bedroom doors in the house.  It's hardly a perfect fix, but at least no one can get stuck inside rooms anymore - but of course I've lost the ability to lock any doors.

The fact I am trying to simulate a Prison, where all bedrooms should be lockable (as they are in real life), I guess it doesn't matter.  And since this is a lot I downloaded from the gallery, specifically for this purpose, it hardly makes sense that I have to make allocations and simply accept a fix which in this case doesn't apply.

@TheSolidRequiem Except that if this is a player-made building rather than something that came with the game you can't necessarily assume it has no errors in the way the doors have been applied.

@TheSolidRequiem But that's the same you reported in June ?

As of the moment of this writing, I will rescind my earlier statements concerning doors not locking.  I was able to find a sliding door which appears to do what I need.  But as I've noted in the past, things which are working on one play session have a tendency to suddenly not work.

I'm playing with several sims and roommates and this is driving me crazy. It's a constant battle with unlocking and locking the doors because suddenly sims are able to walk through doors that are supposed to keep them out.

This is still an issue 4 years later

[crinrict]

@Squeakypuddin I moved your post to a more current thread for this. The issues was fixed at some point but still seems to be an issue for some scenarios.

@crinrict Link to thread? I'm having the same issue.

@CaptainRichard01 Not sure what link you mean. This is the thread about locked doors unlocking. Squeakypuddin had posted in an old thread and I move the post over to this one.
